    No, The Squeezebox is the hardware that requires software on your PC to feed it. The reason I ask is iTunes is a very poor player for software (even worse on PC as opposed to MAC). I would recommend running J Rivers Media. If you're currently using iTunes out into the Squeezebox you should notice an immediate improvement with a proper third party software which eliminates a lot of the transcoding and dithering issues that are most computer platforms.

    Squeezebox uses Squeezebox software.

    The Squeezebox isn't using iTunes to do any playing, if you choose to use the iTunes sync within the Squeezebox software. It is merely syncing it's own internal database that it uses to feed the Squeezebox gui to the iTunes library. That way you don't have to build playlists in two places, etc. But iTunes is not in the audio chain in anyway.
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
