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.
See what you've started :-)

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. :-(

4?? Kudos - I'd be well on the way to divorce if I bought 4.

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
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.

+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. :)
