MonkeySqueeze turns a Squeezebox system into a music streaming system controlled by MediaMonkey. The advantage of this approach is to use the superior database management tools of MediaMonkey with the music distribution of the Squeezebox system. The Squeezebox system can still run independently of MediaMonkey, and MonkeySqueeze does not make any changes to the Squeezebox system.
It will run with Logitech Media Server (LMS) on Windows Servers or with cut down versions which run on Linux NAS devices. However there are limitations which are explained in the guide. The current version of the script is optimised for MediaMonkey 4 and above.
The script has been on the forums in various forms since 2007 as Squeezebox Controller. Originally written by Todd Nemeth, numerous people have since been involved with improving the script but development tapered off in late 2009. The code contains a list of the known contributors but it may not be definitive.
mccstumble reposted the script in mid 2011 after he had modified and used it for a couple of years. I then fixed broken code, improved the options page and wrote a user guide. The name of the script was changed to give it an identity and it was the placed on the Addons site for download. Since that time the script has been improved immeasurably with the assistance of booblers and Katteman.
A MonkeySqueeze Development topic has been created for further script improvements, feel free to contribute or download beta versions of the script.
# Note: If using an older version of Squeezebox Server, QNAP and Zyexl devices can try using the Full Linux Address setting; however there is no guarantee that MonkeySqueeze will communicate with it.

MonkeySqueeze – Squeezing music into your life!
For those wishing to use the script, please be patient, and address will be posted very soon.
MonkeySqueeze is now available for download from the Addons page!
Gives us your feedback, we'd love to here it.
Sorry for the inconvenience but MonkeySqueeze is not available on the Addon site at the moment. Technical glich..... not with the product but with me. It is said that we all learn from our mistakes (I certainly hope so).
Will notify when it is back up.
I may be jumping the gun but.... Squeezebox Server v7.6.0 has just been released. Early testing suggests that MonkeySqueeze will not work with the latest update. According to the Logitech website this version is major rewrite. My initial analysis may be wrong however.
My suggestion is if you wish to use MediaMonkey with Squeezebox Server then hold off upgrading at this stage. There is no guarantee that MediaMonkey will be able to interface with the Squeezebox system into the immediate future using MonkeySqueeze or variations of the Squeezebox Controller script.
If anyone can't wait for MonkeySqueeze to be reposted on the Addons site then send me a personal message (PM) with your e-mail address and I'll e-mail the package to you.
Good, I jumped the gun. No as bad as first feared, MediaMonkey communicating with Squeezebox Server. I'm reducing my coffee intake ASAP. Now listening to the wonderful sounds of a burbling mountain stream.... zzzzzzzz.
SqueezePlay is only a beta release at this stage but I have found the latest version, V7.6.0 to be very stable. Older software such as Softsqueeze can still be used but SqueezePlay is more user friendly.
deleting my posts since forum moderators see fit to delete honest posts. just helping to make their job easier. nothing to see here.

Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear you have MonkeySqueeze up and running with no major issues. Yes Squeezebox Server is not the best music management system around, but a fantastic delivery system. I much prefer to use Mediamonkey anyday.
We will be endeavouring to improve MonkeySqueeze and adding new functionality but it will take time. Will add your suggestions to the list.
Thanks again and call back every now and then to check for updates or pass on more feedback.
Please feel free to give us feedback on MonkeySqueeze, would love to hear your experiences.
MonkeySqueeze also has an unofficial feedback page on the Squeezebox forum.
Great ideas, but alas your expectations and knowledge greatly exceed my abilities. I've only just started programming with VBScript so I'm not capable of implementing those ideas at this stage. I'm one of a number of people who have contributed to this script and I suppose I'm the current caretaker.
By the way I've made numerous changes since the initial release including adding w3Sockets to the package. The new version will be released today hopefully.
Thanks again booblers for showing interest in MonkeySqueeze and submitting your ideas. Hopefully a little community can be set up to further improve MonkeySqueeze and take it to the next level.
Thanks to mccstumble for providing testing and support.
The MonkeySqueeze Addons page may be down for a short time while the new package is uploaded, please be patient.
