[[Category:SqueezePlay]] [[Category: Software players]] [[Image:Squeezeplay.png|thumb|right|200px|SqueezePlay using the Controller skin]] SqueezePlay is the name of the desktop version of the [[Jive]] / [[SqueezeboxController|Squeezebox Controller]] software and will provide a rich user interface for browsing and playing music on your personal computer. SqueezePlay is a replacement for [[SoftSqueeze]] and is based on the [[SqueezeOS]] software platform. SqueezePlay runs on the Mac, Windows and Linux desktop operating systems and provides the user interface on [[SqueezeboxController]].

[[SqueezePlayUI]] has information on the new user interface for SqueezePlay. * SqueezePlay Browser, a resolution and color-depth independent renderer that allows us to power a wide range of display types, from monochrome VFDs to full color LCD screens. * SqueezePlay UI, a new, Lua-based, scalable user interface that can be completely customized by anyone familiar with Lua, a powerful, open-source scripting language. == Synchronization With Hardware Players == Synchronization of the desktop version of SqueezePlay with hardware players may not work, depending on your computer (and operating system), sound card, and drivers. According to awy (Logitech engineer) "An old O/S and old, cheap sound card seem to be the best options. The newer anything is the more variable buffering that gets introduced and the less accurate is the position reporting on which sync relies."
