I've stated it in other threads, but it's true that my Duet and Boom have changed the way I listen to music. Music has always been important to me, but just having local stations and a few CD's kept me from having it on all the time and, more importantly, exposing myself to more depth and breadth

That is just one of the many advantages of Squeezebox; no matter how one wants to use it, it is supported by the system. Users have the option to use a computer (PC / laptop) to control the system. But users who don't want to use a computer (PC / laptop) to control the system have many options too
