Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio or other?
Radio arrived today. Straightforward set up, plugged in, gave it the wifi password, it patched itself a couple of times, and that was it. I'd say the sound is impressive for the size of box, certainly adequate for casual listening in a bedroom. Daughter is delighted, now son wants one too. -- Hobgoblin 2 Receivers 1 Controller Squeezebox Server 7.5.2: Acer Revo R3600 running Ubuntu Server Edition 10.4 Hobgoblin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36018 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86405 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio or other?
wow - that was quick. Thanks for all replies. Not one dissenting voice - so Radio it is then. Only £101 on Amazon, so might just sort that out today. Only downside I can see is that I'll get even less access to my Spotify stream than I do today. :-( -- Hobgoblin 2 Receivers 1 Controller Squeezebox Server 7.5.2: Acer Revo R3600 running Ubuntu Server Edition 10.4 Hobgoblin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36018 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86405 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio or other?
My daughter, who is 14 , has a radio which works well as her alarm and also as a speaker for the inevitable iPod. It sounds better than most docking stations I have heard and gives access to a world of Internet music. I would be hard pushed to say it didn,t sound just as good as the boom, until a sub is added. -- linvale Squeezcenter running on ACER R1600 Windows XP Fileserver ReadyNAS Duo Main Listening Transporter / Controller Kitchen : SB3 Bedroom : Boom Bath : SBRadio Study: Duo linvale's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22828 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86405 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio or other?
+3 for a Radio with a battery pack. Sound is very good for the size, and sanity's sake, you probably don't want her to have something that is capable of getting really loud. :) -- vrette (2) SB Touch, (1) SB3, (1) SBR, Cambridge Audio 840AV2, 340T, DacMagic, B&W 683, HSU VFT2-MK3, Logitech Harmony 880, SB Server - Asus E35M1-M PRO, Win 7 64 bit, and a bunch of other stuff... vrette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86405 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio or other?
Get her a radio with battery pack. What is lacks in audio quality is made up by ease of use, compactness, and portability with battery. If she wants more/louder later, you can always use the radio in a different room. - Ross -- rcampbel3 rcampbel3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86405 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio or other?
Hi - I'm running a couple of receivers and a controller off an Ubuntu hosted SBS. My daughter (10) loves it, especially access to Spotify, and is now angling after her own squeezebox player for her room. Possible solutions would be an SB Radio; a Boom; or I could buy a Touch for myself and let her have one of the Receivers with some powered speakers. At the moment, my favourite is the Radio, although I've no idea what the sound is like - seems very small and it's only mono. But it has the familiar UI, and for a bedroom I think the sound should be adequate. Her room is about 10 feet from the router, so signal should be good. Anything I ought to think of which I haven't? And what's the sound like? Thanks for any advice. -- Hobgoblin 2 Receivers 1 Controller Squeezebox Server 7.5.2: Acer Revo R3600 running Ubuntu Server Edition 10.4 Hobgoblin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36018 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86405 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
