The endless playlist
The music collection on your iPod or MP3 player is about 10,000 songs strong. There's no argument — such a collection is pretty impressive. But these are all your favorites, your "Golden Oldies" (plus a few that you've completely forgotten about, of course). In other words, you still like discovering new music whenever you get the chance. And, as you are well aware, the best place to hear new tunes is the radio — but not just any radio . . . Internet radio services offer a nearly endless supply of new, up-and-coming music, as well as all your favorites. And most of it is free. The only thing that's stopping you, however, is being limited to hearing all that music only at your computer. You could update your iPod or MP3's playlists, but you don't want to listen to headphones at home. You want to listen to your favorites and discover new music, listening from anywhere in your home. You want the Squeezebox Radio from Logitech.
Wired, wireless, whatever
Giving you the ability to listen to the music you want — whether from your existing collection or from online sources — the Logitech Squeezebox Radio combines internet and line-level-audio connectivity. Use the built-in ethernet port or Wi-Fi capability in conjunction with your broadband internet connection or wireless network to stream the latest music from thousands of free internet radio stations as well as from online services ranging from Pandora and Slacker to Rhapsody and SIRIUS Internet Radio. While you can choose to use your computer while streaming audio, the Squeezebox Radio's Always On Internet Radio technology lets you access internet radio even when your PC is turned off. And combined with the built-in rechargeable battery, the SqueezeBox Radio's Wi-Fi capability lets you bring your favorite tunes with you, anywhere in your house. Further, allowing simple, universal access to audio files on your iPod or other MP3 player, the Squeezebox Radio sports a 3.5mm line-level audio input jack and cable for connecting to the headphone output on your portable audio player.
LCD screen, album art, Facebook . . . what can't this do?
These days, if any home electronics device is worth its weight in dirt, it's got to have an LCD screen. One-line digital readouts just don't cut it as interfaces for operation and setup anymore. And what possibility there is with the Squeezebox Radio's 2.4" color LCD screen! Not only does the LCD screen offer simple-to-navigate menus for browsing your music collection and internet radio stations, but it also lets you view album art, track and station information, visualizers, and screen savers. And that's not even the best part. If you have a Facebook account, you can display your page right on the screen, and make instant music recommendations to your friends as soon as you discover a new song or artist! The LCD display also offers a fast guide for setting up and using your SqueezeBox Radio.
Compact, yet room-filling
This goes for any loudspeaker: you want sound that fills your listening area, not a speaker that takes over a room. Bringing you a wide soundscape while allowing for placement anywhere, the compact Squeezebox Radio solves the conundrum. First, measuring only 5.12" H x 8.66" W x 5.04" D, the Squeezebox Radio's footprint is so compact, that it can be placed anywhere from the kitchen counter top to your desk at the office without crowding your workspace. Further, the combination of a 0.75" tweeter and 3.0" woofer delivers a full, vibrant sound powered by a built-in Class D amplifier.
Rise and shine
What better way to start your day than with your favorite radio station, DJ, or playlist? With its built-in alarm clock, you can program the Squeezebox Radio to wake you up with the tunes of your choice. You can even program a different radio station and time for every day of the week. Further, at night, you don't have to worry about being bothered by the light from the LCD display — a built-in ambient-light sensor recognizes light conditions and automatically adjust the panel brightness to fit the environment.
