Do you want to stream all your Logitech Squeezebox content directly to your Android Device? Then SqueezePlayer is your perfect match - it turns your Android phone or tablet into a SqueezeBox on its own!
You won't even need a Logitech Squeezebox to make SqueezePlayer work - just download the (free) Squeezebox-Server (see below)

★★★ Stream your Music via WiFi or Mobile Connection ★★★
Make your music free! Now you can take all your music with you - car, school, work, garden, anywhere in your house.

SqueezePlayer is able to stream your local music (see below for supported formats), internet radio stations or songs from Apps like Last.FM, Deezer or WiMP from your Squeezebox-Server directly to your mobile or tablet. (Rhapsody, Napster and Pandora NOT working right now, due to licensing issues, Spotify only works with the help of triodes plugin installed in a Squeezebox-Server).

For playback to be working via 3G you will need to open/forward port 9000 and 3483 on your router (as well as setting up a DynDNS service). As networking/streaming from your home network via internet is not straightforward, please also visit my growing tutorial: http://www.squeezeplayer.com/2011/05/how-to-connect-via-3g/

SqueezePlayer is a playback App - you won't be able to control your Squeezebox (nor itself) with it. But there are enough Apps out there being a perfect fit: OrangeSqueeze, SqueezeCommander, Squeeze Control or free alternatives like the official Logitech App, Squeezer or SqueezeDroid.
From the main screen of SqueezePlayer you can jump directly to any of these App, where you mobile will be among all other players as long as SqueezePlayer is activated.
In OrangeSqueeze this also works the other way round: it will start SqueezePlayer automatically from the players list, so here it is highly integrated.

By the way: if you have any problem with SqueezePlayer, please contact me! I'm very happy to help you sort all problems out: support(at)squeezeplayer.com

★★★ Supported Music Formats ★★★

SqueezePlayer can stream FLAC, MP3, WAV and PCM natively (i.e. these are decoded directly on your Android Device)

Your SqueezeboxServer will be able to convert other file types (Ogg, mp4) to FLAC or mp3 on the fly, so these will play as well. (You can check the settings screen of your Squeezebox Server under Advanced->File Types what other file types will be transcoded to FLAC or mp3).

Please note that the inbuilt server of the Touch will not be able to transcode as much as a real server, you will be bound to the natively support formats!

★★★ Requirements ★★★
For SqueezePlayer to work you need to set up the Logitech Squeezebox Server (recently renamed to "Logitech Media Server").
You can download it here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.7.1/
SqueezePlayer will also work with the integrated server of the Squeezebox Touch (but be aware, that this one cannot convert as many formats as a real server).

I test against version 7.5 - 7.7 of the server.

Absolutely flawless greatest streaming setup I've ever used. Combined with squeezebox controller, simple and effective. Superb. Can't say enough good. Must add that 3 days after notifying the developer of my autodetect issue he sent me a developer version and now its official. Great job. Update April 20 2016 ... above still applies. New phone Galaxy S6 Lollipop 5.11

Works but sync drift's Tried this all to add an extra player in an extra room for party's . touch and boom hold perfect sync but this app on my Lenovo tablet never gets perfect sync and seems to very how far out of sync it gets. Shame as sync is what I was looking for. Hopefully this could be improved in an update? Should have also added that the squeezebox touch is acting as the music server
Robert Frazier
Excellent! Works well, and is just what I wanted. I was surprised by how well things stay in sync. I was listening to music on headphones while working in the garden, came into the house, took off the headphones, and it was, as far as I could tell, perfectly in sync with the music playing on my Raspberry PI (with picoreplayer).
Great App Works really well. Had a couple of "issues" with compilation and multiple disc albums "splitting", but that is probably in part due to the way I choose to tag them up. Apart from that ... great app.

Would be even better if I could deactivate it. Now it always tries to connect to the ensemble at home which causes sync lag. I only want it when I'm at the summer house and there's only two units in total. At home I have five already, and six with this causes problems. Thanks for a great app regardless! Edit: Yes I´ve seen it activates with squeezer for example, problem is, that is the app I use to control the other units at which point I would not like this app to be automatically activated. Now I just avoid ever using that android device as a controller, but that feels very unnecessary.

App regularly stops playing a track part way through and jumps to next one. Really annoying. Edit: yes WiFi is all good, SB Player works perfectly in same circumstances.

Hi Barry, synchronisation issues are caused by different latencies of different Android devices. An article about this can be found here: http://www.squeezeplayer.com/2011/12/squeezeplayer-and-synchronisation-with-other-squeezeboxes/ To care for latencies LMS has a settings page for each player to manually configure the sync-delay.

Hi Malcolm, this is not a typical behaviour. This rather points to your mobile disconnecting and reconnecting to your local network regularly. Did you check your WiFi strength?
Paul Moss April 4, 2017
Hi, was working great a while ago. Now getting 'wifi connecting' then 'disconnected' continuously. Can you help please?

Hi Paul, can you please contact me via support(at)squeezeplayer.com ? Are you sure you are having a robust WiFi network? Did you try to restart Squeezebox-Server?
Jay Sheeds May 2, 2016
Quickly auto-connected to my Logitech Media Server and found my Squeezer controller app. No fuss. Pandora works for me, maybe because I have a physical SB Radio with the Pandora app installed on it. Sync is not perfect, network buffering, lazy electrons, the curvature of time/space make perfect synchronization between multiple players pretty near impossible. Not really an issue when the individual players are separated from each other, very echo-y and annoying when not. There may be server settings to fiddle with to compensate, if someone is so inclined, IME perfect sync requires old-school hardwiring. Overall, works as advertised. Hasn't frozen, crashed or failed to launch after multiple uses. Doesn't seem to drain the batt too badly either. Very cool to be able to use any Android device as a SB Radio, especially since Logitech has discontinued the darned thing!

The App runs in the background in 99% of all cases, the song that is playing is shown in the controller App. For technical reasons, the App actually doesn't even have the title of the song currently playing. It's instructed by the server to play a certain stream (and in addition some meta-information for syncing), but thats it. Cheers Stefan

Sync not so good I was hoping this would compete with Sonos for multi room zones, but the sync is unpredicatable and pausing a track and restarting causes great problems. No master volume for a zone either. Had hoped for better. If the app was £1 i'd give it 4* , but at this price, its simply not worth it .... stick to DLNA/uPNP

Hi Jonathan, please contact me under support(at)squeezeplayer.com for a refund. Noone should be paying for stuff he doesn't like. On my homepage you will find a long article about possible caveats of synchronization with this App. Despite this caveats it works for most people quite well, but is not a guaranteed feature of this App.
Stephen Spiteri October 15, 2015
Wow! Never reviewed an app before, but this one is brilliant. Since the demise of squeezebox, this keeps the legacy going strong. Very impressed. I thought there may have even been a bit of lag when syncing, but there isn't!!! Wish I bought this sooner!

How to get refund? Couldn't get this to work at all, and relying on a 3rd party controller seems rediculous. Free MediaHouse worked out of the box.

Please contact me under support(at)squeezeplayer.com for a refund. Please provide your order number and I can request Google to issue a refund. If you have suggestions, that my App description is not misleading, I'm happy to hear them. SqueezePlayer is quite popular for people already using Logitech Squeezeboxes.

Well worth the price! Have used Squeeze Commander for a few years. Downloaded SqueezePlayer, opened it, immediately found my server and my phone showed up in Commander. Simple & perfect plug-in.

At one time it told me I need to buy it when i already did. I unistall it and re installed with no luck untill and update came. I think this program may have a memory leak.
