==Squeezebox==
==SUMOH TinyAmp==
The Squeezebox is a Hi-Fi device that can stream digital music and Internet radio to your stereo.
It has built in wireless network so you can place it anywhere.
You can connect multiple Squeezeboxes to one SqueezeCenter - one per room if you like! And then either have them all play their own thing, or synchronize any or all of them together.
You set a max bit rate to stream to individually Squeezeboxes so if you have one at remote location connected over the Internet, it can still play your favorite music collection from your home server, even if it is saved in an uncompressed or lossless format.

==SqueezeCenter==
The TinyAmp amplifiers is the perfect companions for the Logitech Squeezebox®
SlimServer (former SlimServer) is a free open source streaming audio server created by Slim Devices (now acquired  by Logitech). This is where you store the music you want to play on a Squeezebox. It supports MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV and more! If you want to try for yourself and experience what a Squeezebox can do download and install it. It has a web based interface so it can be controlled from any PC. It includes the SoftSqueeze player you can install from your SqueezeCenters Home page (in the Help section).

SqueezeCenter support plugins, and a lot users have written plugins for almost everything like: Selecting what music to play, Games, Skins for the SqueezeCenter web interface, Remote controls.

SqueezeCenter is using the MySQL database.<br>
It automatically installs the database when you install SqueezeCenter.<br>
If your machine is correct configured for your local regional settings. It will create it's databases with your local collation order (like danish = utf8_danish_ci).<br>
If you later on installs plugins (like TracStat), they might create tables in the database's default collation order.<br>
This will normally be utf8_general_ci, and can cause error messages in Squeezecenters log like this:<br>
''[09-05-17 19:50:35.1285] Plugins::TrackStat::Statistics::Base::getTracksWeb (201) Database error: Illegal mix of collations (utf8_danish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation '='''<br>
To fix this modify the dafault collection order in this file:<br>
'''C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SqueezeCenter\Cache\MySQL\slimserver\db.opt'''<br>
or on Vista<br>
'''C:\ProgramData\SqueezeCenter\Cache\MySQL\slimserver\db.opt'''<br>
from utf8_general_ci to the codepage you have in SqueezeCenters other tables.<br>
Then restart your machine so both the SqueezeCenter and the MySQL service is restartet.<br>
The database tables can be examined with '''MySQL Administrator'''. SqueezeCenters database in on port 9092 and there is no username or password.<br>

Instead it will try try to compensate for the error and continue playing.  EAC can read your CD's even the scratched ones without letting the CD drive do automatic error correction. It can take a bit longer, but the result is an exact copy off what was on the CD.  EAC is free for non-commercial purposes.
