Well, first let me say that I love my SqueezeBox 3 (now Classic). I look upon it as the single best investment I ever made regarding hifi and geek devices I bought in my lifetime. I'm so happy with it that I told all of my friends, colleagues and family about it and several of them now consider

Guys, For the most part, it's the same people that brought you the Boom, Classic, Duet, that brought you the Radio. We do obsess about this stuff, believe me. Or ask my wife -- or any of our wives. We spend obscene amounts of time trying to get things right. We're all very proud of the Radio,

I think from a hardware perspective the Radio is fantastic. I think there is a ton of attention to detail, and the sound quality is phenomenal for a device like this. Because of that, I probably won't return it. From a software perspective I am very disappointed. The main reason for my

I have said and will say again that I am thoroughly enjoying all of my Squeezebox products. My recent purchase (SB Radio) is in the kitchen and is playing when I go down in the morning for my 5:30 coffee. The sound from all the products is very good and powerful. The Radio functions very well as

hrrm.. my radio showed up here around 11am... I was out of the building at a meeting, but it was sitting at my desk at 1pm when I got back. It's sitting here nicely playing, and people have come buy to ogle it. (Yes, I got tired enough of Softsqueeze, I replaced it with a radio at work.)

It has a few UI issues and bugs software wise that need to be addressed, but I replaced a reciva based internet radio with this one and its already much more irreplacable and less buggy than the reciva one was. It will probably cause me to get a boom if I find an excellent price for one. --
