I have both a Boom and a Radio. The Boom acts as a bedside alarm clock and the Radio is in the kitchen. Given the choice again I'd opt for a Radio for the following reasons:
- Seems to have better wifi reception. I've used it in the garden and not had buffer issues whereas the Boom often seems to drop out - Adding a battery to the Radio makes a good product into an awesome product, as I said I can quite happily use it in the garden and the bttery easily last for several hours - Easily portable so you can take it wherever you want whilst the Boom always needs to be close to a power socket and will have to boot up on connection The pros for the Boom are: - Slightly better sound quality from the two speakers - More options available through Squeezebox server - Prefer the VFD display HTH Paul -- Paul_B Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slimcentre 7.2 on Quad Intel MSI MoBo running Vista Ultimate 64bit controlled via a Mini-ITX server running Windows 2003 R2 (SP2) and Idratek Cortex home-automation software.
