The Squeezebox is one of the most functional hi-fi devices ever
created, IMHO. USB/firewire has a fixed length to be functional
(compared to a wired CAT5 of several hundred feet). And frankly, Wi-Fi
is the new t

The home routers and such need snazzy (?) web interfaces to configure because they don't have screens. Configuring the network interface on a squeezebox by using the screen and remote is what fits the device.The squeezebox doesn't run a web server, so why add one just to configure a few network pa

Seems to me that I can get USB and Firewire devices that do audio for
less money so who would want to use an SB for this?
The whole idea is the SB is to get away from the PC and not be tethered
to it.

Seriously, i dont know what on earth you are getting at here? What real
use a USB connection be? The whole point it this is a streaming device,
for streaming music around a house to HiFi equipment. Why would someone
