Digital camera reviews of Logitech Squeezebox Wi-Fi Internet Radio
Digital camera Review: A 20-year old vision come true!
Summary: 4 Stars
In the late 1980s, while I in college, me and a friend from high school mused about how cool it would be if we could digitize our music collections, put them into a computer, and play them on demand. No more swapping LPs, CDs, or Cassettes.
Digital music players like the Squeezebox fulfill that vision. I have two Squeezeboxes, one in the living room, and one upstairs in the master bedroom. You can synchronize them and fill your home with sound. I have not listened directly to a CD in my house in years.
Additionally, with Internet Radio, the world is yours, not from tinny computer speakers, but from your living room hi-fi system. Groove to SomaFM, chill to TSF Jazz, live from Paris, get the news from the BBC, listen the game from you alma mater even though you moved hundreds of miles away, or even listen to your local AM radio stations after dark.
Ease of use on the Internet Radio feature is phenomenal. When connected to the Logitech mysqueezebox.com service, the service detects your location based on your IP address and automatically populates local stations into the menu.
One caveat: Don't buy Apple's DRM m4p AAC files from iTunes. DRM protected files will not play on Squeezebox. Instead buy non-DRM mp3s from Amazon. They work great with Squeezebox.
Why 4-stars and not 5? Some minor annoyances, and I believe the price is still a high for Squeezebox products compared to alternatives such as Roku SoundBridge M1001. I got my first Squeezebox for sale for $250 several years ago, and the second one was on sale because it was the white model (this was back when black was the cool color, and before Apple had succeed in making white the cool color). If it were possible to give half-star ratings, I would rate 4.5 stars.
Update: I recently started using Squeezebox's ability to connect to my Pandora Internet Radio profile and play my Pandora stations through Logitech's mysqueezebox.com service. This is a great feature, and the fact it works with a four-year old system is awesome investment protection. Pandora sound quality is outstanding. I had to contact Logitech customer support due to a problem with one of my Squeezeboxes and Logitech corrected the problem quickly and professionally. Kudos to Logitech's technical support.
