Reviewer: TheTechLounge19 June 2008
This evolution of the Squeezebox should prove to be a winner for its new parent company. All the makings of a good sequel are there; extra goodies, unexpected surprises, a flashy new look and a slimmer and trimmer appearance. Logitech is unapologetically aiming squarely at Sonos with this one. Are the two systems direct competitors? Not exactly, but Logitech is bound to take a bite and woo away a few dollar conscious, tech savvy buyers. The included options and features... Read more

The product itself is way cool. Unfortunately, it is on the bleeding edge of technology and thus administrating the system is more of a science project. If you are capable of doing that then go for it. If not then choose something else. For example, sometimes the controller goes to sleep and then does not see the system when it wakes up. Other problems include the Rhapsody system dropping in and out and sometimes not playing a song at all. If you are a tech head then you... Read more

Finally, I have a convenient way to access my entire music collection which has mostly been stored away over the last decade. Now, I have 1000s of songs at my fingertips that can be navigated in a multitude of ways. I also am a big fan of the internet radio streams. I was getting extremely fatigued of the limited AM radio selections that I had available at bed time. One of the radical, leftist hosts here in San Francisco was my inspiration for researching this product. I... Read more
