Hey all - I have a logitech squeezeboom. Running of my home desktop using squeezecentre I can see my iTunes library a-ok

I now want to give up on the desktop and use my Western Digital MyWorldBook as the iTunes server but.... SqueezeBoom seems to only see media via the squeezecentre application. I can't install squeezecentre on the MyWorldBook

ANy help appreciated lots...

You can't. Squeezecenter will run on some, but not all, proper NAS boxes (your WD is not a real NAS) or on a Freenas box. I'm afraid you are stuck with having a PC on to run squeezecentre or spend some money on a NAS.
