No buyer remorse here. Was worried about wireless range. Found it to be very good. Now have more stations to listen to than humanly possible. Feel that the unit should have come with a remote and a rechargeable battery.

Received the radio in good shape. Went through the registration process and downloaded the software to my desktop. Went through a brief breakin period getting familar with the control
buttons on the squeezebox front. The controls are easy once you start using them and the drill
down station selection is a snap with the easy to use back feature. Large varity of free radio selections available. I especially like the world
wide selections. Nice bright display and has
excellent sound. I think the squeezebox is a much better selection than the HD radio that I had been using. I dont even need the remote ctrl and battery accessory package that you can order for $50.00.

Great sound, easy setup, even if there are problems the error messages and guidance are very good to get the radio working. Very good wireless connectivity even for a weak signal. I especially like the presets, six is okay, eight might be better. Only negative is the finish--its a fingerprint magnet, but it is easy to keep the dust off.

This product was better than expected. It was easy to install and has help if you need it. We did email and received the information to set up other stations. The sound it so good. My husband brings it with him from room to room. I hope to buy him another one for his birthday. The speaker for being so small has the best sound ever. I am very impressed with this product and you delivered it on time and love it had no shipping or tax. Keep up the good work.

From my brief acquaintance so far, this appears to be a truly excellent product. The user interface is a shining example of how it should be done. The display is jewel-like in its crispness and richness of color. The sound is very good for a device this size. The radio finds the Wi-Fi connection quickly and does not drop it. It is heavier than I expected for a portable unit, but on the good side appears to be very solidly made. One gripe, echoing other buyers - the need to buy the remote control and battery pack as a $50 optional extra. However all in all Im very pleased with this purchase.

I found out about this nifty gadget from a salesperson at an electronics store that didnt carry it in stock...but he referred me to others that did. It seemed to fit my need exactly I wanted something that would allow me to play anyall music from my PC e.g. iTunes, etc on my stereo without running wires, etc., all digital. This device was more expensive than Id been anticipating paying for such functionality, but it also was more capable -- it purportedly would not just stream by iTunes content, but also any content from a plethora of Internet radio stations.....cool! As a user of Pandora on my PC and my iPhone, I decided this unit was worth the extra cost beyond an Apple Airport Express, etc, so I bought one.
That was about a week ago. It was amazingly simple to get the unit set up and talking to my wireless network, to get the firmware updated which happened automatically, and to get the Squeezebox server set up on my PC. It downloaded all the info regarding my iTunes content, so suddenly I was looking at a huge library of content I could scroll through using the large knob, and select whatever album, artist or song was Desired to play.
Then I ran into the problem. I received an email from Pandora which Id registered as an app on my Squeezebox device, notifying me that they had a Nat King Cole Christmas channel available. Hey, that sounded cool, so I decided to give it a whirl. Within seconds I had dialed up this channel and clicked to make it play. Nothing. I could see and scroll through all of the sub-menus, but when I tried to play any content I received an error message connection reset by local host. My local host must not be very nice, because a few days and support emails to Logitech later, I still dont have a fully operational device here...no ability to stream content from the Internet. I dont know if Logitech has a solution for this bug....if so, Ive not yet discovered it. What a pain! For that reason Im giving it a 2 on performance and overall rating.
Bottom line if you want to use the Internet radio function, be cautious, and make sure the fix has been implemented before buying this device.

I recently got the Logitech Squeezebox Radio for my wife for Christmas. Last year, I surprised her with satellite radio for her car and she fell in love with the uninterrupted music programming and the signal quality. She made comments often about how she wished she could have the cars radio in the house. She was familiar with streaming music and played music often over the desktop computer and asked if I could run some wires or something so she could enjoy that free programming all over the house. When she opened her gift a couple of days before Christmas, she literally danced up and down like a kid. Right out of the box, setting it up, downloading software, and installing apps went smoothly. The controls are placed logically and not difficult to master. We are impressed with the rich sound quality and volume range of such a small unit. We are enjoying learning all the bells and whistles e.g., the slideshow of stock pictures that are packed with the radio. Well done, Logitech.

This radio is a fantastic product for anyone who is tired of just listening to the music from their own iPod. We use it primarily for Pandora and hooked it up easily to speakers. It also works great with a virtual wireless connection from the Logitech website and has a great feature to show your own Facebook images while it sleeps. Sometimes, it goes offline or might be a little buggy, but it quickly fixes when you turn the power off then on. Definitely the right product for the money!

I have been reading about Wifi internet based radios for years & looking for a value priced receiver to hook up to my Stereo.
In searching the internet I bumped into a family of units I hadnt seen before made by Logitech called SqueezeBox & found a refurbished single speaker portable unit at a good price.
I love it!
Set up is easy for anyone with basic knowledge of their existing computer system MAC Addresses & the like.
The radio interface is slick, a rotating scroll knob that you push to select, a back button if you choose poorily & a home button to get you back to the begining, do 90 of the work.
The little color display is easy to read & provides you with all the info you require.
Sound quality is good for such a small unit & when I used it through the ear phone jack as a receiver for my stereo I was impressed.
From my computer I logged on to the Logitech website & down loaded the SqueezeBox server software. The software categorized all my MP3 files allowing them to be viewed & played from the SqueezeBox Radio. Cool!
It was easy for me to navigate the world & tune into my favorite Saturday Night radio program from Portland, ME & Logitech staff have provided you with a directory with their favorite stations to help you enjoy now while your learning.
My only complaint so far, is the unit can be run off a rechargeable battery pack that didnt come with the radio & has to be purchased from Logitech. The unit should have been deigned for off the self NiH batteries.
I am a rocker from the 70s, I have always owned high end stereo equipment but in the last ten years I have fallen away from music
and been busy making TVs sound good.
I am glad that internet radio has put music back in my life & I look forward to exploring the world.
I hope Logitech reads my review, I think they have a well thought out little machine & I thank them for the quality of their engineering.
Its hard to believe I opened the packaging just two days ago. I cant wait to figure out what else the radio can do!

This radio is a marvellous device for those who listen to radio and like a superior choice of programs. Once its set up, its very simple to use and the flexibility of easily identifying and finding almost any of the thousands of stations that are on the internet is a great source of entertainment. When I m in Florida, I use it to listen to Canadas CBC radio like NPR only much better which is just as clear as if it was next door. Late at night , I can listen to Australia or London England.
The tone for such a small device is quite good.

Great alarm clock, remote access via your PC Ive changed the channel on my wife for fun several times and really easy to use. Setup took about 5 minutes and then I was good to go!

Excellent product and very easy to set up. If you have had an internet radio before that used Reciva, be aware that this does not feature that portal and so any on demand stations do not show. You listen live or not at all. It has lost the connection to mysqueezebox a couple of times but that may be our network - easily solved, unplug, wait 10 secs and boot up again - fixed !

After two weeks with the Squeezebox Radio, Im very happy. Setup was a breeze - Im using it along with the Squeezecenter server running on a ReadyNAS Duo. I was up and running within a few minutes.
I find the menu system easy to navigate. The only slight inconvenience is if you are entering a long series of characters ie WiFi key or navigating though a long list of songs or artists.
Otherwise it looks great, sounds really good and gives me a really convenient access to my entire music collection.
Great device!

This is an excellent radio for listeners who like to tune in to world wide and national radio streaming stations. The choices are almost infinite, the reception is clear, the fidelity of the speakers excellent. I enjoy listening to London Radio 4, CBC from Calgary, and NPR from Tacoma, Providence RI, Billings, and Minneapolis. Music and talk stations are also available for those who like a huge range in those areas.
The only drawback is the awkward system to find and enter new stations. Once found, they can be stored in one of the 6 presets or in a favorites file.

This is a very nice setup with great features, you can play all your songs on your computer plus many internet radio stations. The problem I have with it is it can only play a few hours before the radio locks up. Only the volume works and the rest of the buttons no longer function, the songs keep playing but you no longer have any control. You cant even turn it off! It can still be controlled via the network from a computer but not locally on the unit. The only way I have been able to get it to reset is to unplug the unit for a few minutes then plug it back in. I hope this problem is fixed with a firmware update. The problem has been so annoying my wife went back to just using her Ipod.

While a built-in ethernet port and Wi-Fi capability let you stream audio from thousands of internet radio stations, a 3.5mm line-level input brings you access to all the music on your iPod or MP3 player. Powered by Class D amplification, a single tweeter and woofer serve up all your tunes with fullness and clarity.

I began my search for an under-cabinet mp3 player a month ago and was surprised to find there were practically none on the market. I stumbled upon wi-fi radios by accident, started reading the specs for the Squeezebox ,and fell in love. It had everything I wanted- the ability to play my favorite online radio stations PLUS my huge mp3 collection.
Both my husband and I are IT professionals so I will say that set-up for us was a breeze. Integrating it into your secure wireless network can be complicated if you dont know what youre doing, but I was up and running in less than 10 minutes.
I am extremely pleased at the quality of the sound out of the TINY Squeezebox. It fits into the palm of your hand. And therefore- fitting it into our tiny kitchen was also a breeze. I love the sleek black design. Fingerprints are not an issue for me so Im not sure what the other complaints were about- Ive handled mine and didnt leave grease marks behind at all.
The dials are easy to use. I like the ability to add favorites both online and through the mysqueezebox website.
This is a fantastic device and the best purchase I have made in a long, long time!
