Logitech Announces Plans for Revived Squeezebox Music Player
Line
Lausanne, Switzerland
April 1, 2015
The Company is proud to announce a return to the networked music player
market with a revival of its ground breaking Squeezebox line of
networked music players. During the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2015 the
Company plans to release:
- Squeezebox Touch II
- Squeezebox Radio II
- Squeezebox Boom II
- Transporter Deluxe
All players will coordinate with existing Squeezebox players and
Logitech Media Server (LMS). New players will contain additional
features, including powerful processors with the ability to run LMS
internally, access music files via USB, SD Card, or network connected
file server. All players will natively play up to 32/384 files across
most file codec types. The engineering team responsible for LMS will be
expanded effective immediately with sufficient resources to address all
reported software bugs and wishlist items from the logitech forum users.
In an associated move, Logitech announced the purchase of Spotify,
Qobuz, and Tidal music streaming services. The newly-branded LogiMusic-©
- will offer compressed file streaming free to owners of Squeezebox
devices. CD quality streams will be available for $4.99/month for
Squeezebox device owners. Non-owners may subscribe to compressed streams
for $4.99/month or CD quality streams for $9.99/month.
