What does it do?
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 on the Squeezebox system.
It will run with cut down versions of Logitech Media Server (Squeezebox Server) which run on Linux NAS devices. The current version of the script is optimised for MediaMonkey 4 and above. It will run on MediaMonkey 3 but the options page will not display correctly.
History
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.
