Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Squeezebox Duet Problems with ready NAS
I can't recomend Squeezebox with ReadyNas. Half the time the controller can't find squeezecentre. This happens after periods of inactivity.
Once you get it up and running which can be a process of turning the reciever off and taking the battery out of the controller, it's great. But it's too flaky at the moment. Hope these issues get sorted out soon or I might have to stamp on it !It's a pity.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous - once you've set it up properly
What a triumph of design and function this product is. I'm just blown away by it. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is excellent through my mid-range system. It's intuitive and easy to use (even my wife can use it) and such a cool gadget. Having said that, it takes a long time to set up properly. You need patience, technical savvy and good computer skills to get it working flawlessly. There are a myriad of options to configure too, if you want. There are also many add-ons that can be downloaded (my favourite is Alien BBC for radio streaming) to extend the capabilities even further. As with most Logitech devices, the aesthetics of the unit are very pleasing, albeit stolen from the iPod to some degree (although this makes it all the more ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rediscover your music collection
I would describe myself as computer literate but by no means a networking expert. Nevertheless I quickly had this up and running from my pc in no time. It took a little longer to get my NAS to stream to it without pc being on but even that was trivial and simply required some time set aside. My router is an old 'b' speed linksys and it works flawlessly.

Now I can search my music library and rediscover those albums I forgot about so easily. The cd's have gone in the loft (well, the ones that have been ripped to FLAC thus far have....) clearing up loads of space.

All in all an amazing piece of kit, and if you have a large enough music collection to justify it you wont regret this purchase at all.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Rubbish
I got a squeezebox to listen to internet radio and stream a bit of music. From the start there were problems as I don't have a wireless network! Shoot me!!! Finally got it working for 2 days now it is defective and needs to be returned. Junk.

review of the review: Amazon were absolutely great and got a new set to me in one day! Great service. Managed to get it all setup in 10 minutes. Hope it stays this way this time. Watch this space.

Well I've managed to connect to internet radio and my music library on my PC with mixed results. Frequent periods of static and garbled sound remedied only by restarting the Squeezebox receiver. This is probably due to me using the wired connection and having a 5 year old router... Those ... Read More:



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Impressed, highly recommended
Don't be put off with it's Logitech branding, it's nothing like their other products. I am very impressed with the audio quality, the remote is very cool. In fact, the whole product is very sleek. The audio quality is excellent. I stream FLAC off my Linux server with no problems.

Couple of points:

1. My wireless goes through two doors, although on the same floor, and I occasionally get glitches. The remote (which has it's own in built wireless and runs Linux itself) has occasionally dropped connection to the receiver. I think the wireless range is related to keeping power consumption low and I can see people having issues if the wireless goes across a couple of floors or walls. Just keep this in mind.

2. The ... Read More:
