Excuse me if I've been out of the loop... I update my server computer pretty infrequently.
I'm an owner of an original Squeezebox from something like 10 years ago. I recently upgraded the hardware in my filserver computer, which also works as the media server for the Squeezebox. It's been 4-6 years since this has last happened, and I don't update software on my server unless it's a security issue, so I'm sure I've missed quite a few versions of the server software. Upon install of the latest version of the server software, it's asking me to login to something. I've never had to login to anything, and I have some questions regarding this login: 1) Why am I needing to login to play my own music? 2) Will this login be required every time someone tries to access port 9000 on my server? or is this a one time thing? My kids and wife frequently use the web interface from various network enabled devices throughout the house (phone, computer, tablet, etc..) to play music on the Squeezebox, so I need to know if I need to pick a user / pass that a 4 year old can remember or if I need to pick one that's actually secure. 3) If I decide that the old server software suited my needs, and choose not to use this login enabled version, is there an older version of the server software available somewhere? My file server computer is using a debian derivative linux distro.
