Is my music format supported?
If your personal music collection will not play using Squeezebox Touch:
Make sure your music is not DRM protected. If your music was purchased from the iTunes Store before 2009, •
it may contain DRM. If this is the case, Apple will remove DRM from tunes for a fee. “iTunes Plus” tracks and iTunes
songs purchased in 2009 or after are not DRM protected.
Make sure Squeezebox Server is running and that any firewalls on your system are correctly configured to allow •
communication between your computer and the Squeezebox.
Check the file format of your music to be sure it is supported. Squeezebox Touch can play music that is in •
the following formats:
MP3
FLAC
WMA standard
WAV
AIFF
Ogg Vorbis
AAC/HE-AACv2
HD-AAC
Apple Lossless
In addition, the following are automatically converted into supported formats by a transcoding engine that is built
into Squeezebox Server: WMA Lossless, Monkey’s Audio (.APE).

My iTunes music isn’t playing from any device
Apple’s iTunes is a music manager that helps you organize your collection, rip CDs, and create and manage playlists.
It also connects to the iTunes Store where Apple offers music, videos, and podcasts for purchase. Much of the music purchased
from the iTunes store before 2009 is protected by Apple’s DRM software.
If your iTunes music is not playing with Squeezebox Touch, it is probably protected by Apple’s proprietary Digital Rights
Management (DRM) software. Other online music stores also apply DRM to downloaded tracks. If you’re not sure if your music
is protected by DRM, contact your online music store.
You can play tunes purchased from iTunes if:
You purchased “iTunes Plus” tunes, which are unencrypted and do not have DRM (digital rights management) •
protection.
or
You purchased your iTunes in 2009 or after. As of 2009, Apple removed DRM protection from the songs sold at iTunes.•
or
You have paid a fee to have Apple remove DRM from tunes that you purchased from iTunes before 2009.•
