Setup and configuration
The initial setup required for the Squeezebox Radio is a chore, especially if you don't own any other Squeezebox products. Be prepared to download the SqueezeCenter software, install it, scan your music files, register for a MySqueezebox account, enter all your online accounts info, tediously enter info on the Squeezebox Radio--it's a serious undertaking, especially if you intend to use all of the Squeezebox Radio's functionality.
When you select a library, you're putting the Squeezebox Radio into "SqueezeCenter" mode.
There are two basic "modes" that the Squeezebox Radio can operate in: SqueezeCenter or MySqueezebox. When you're using MySqueezebox, that means your radio isn't connecting to a PC running the SqueezeCenter software; you won't be able to access your personal music collection, but any music services that stream from the Internet (like Internet radio, Pandora, etc.) will work perfectly. When you're in SqueezeCenter mode, you're adding the ability to stream your own music collection, plus extensive browser-based control.
Unfortunately, all this terminology gets confusing quickly. For instance, there are now three different control panels you can use to remotely make adjustments to your Squeezebox Radio: MySqueezebox, Squeezebox Server Control Panel, and SqueezeCenter. They break down logically in some cases, but it's not quite clear; MySqueezebox mostly handles your online media accounts, SqueezeCenter handles most the preferences and settings, and Squeeze Server Control Panel is a simplified version of SqueezeCenter. Even knowing that breakdown, there were plenty of times we'd want to make an adjustment and realize we were in the wrong "zone," and then try to remember where it is.
