For me, the Squeezebox is better.
Wouldn't the world be boring if we all were identical?

I can't believe it. He's been talking for weeks about getting a couple
of Squeezeboxes for his new house. The house is completely wired, with
every room having at least one Ethernet drop plus speaker cabling runs
in every room for whole-house audio. A couple days ago he discovered
the Sonos and today he's looking at buying a system.
To give you an idea, he loves music, but isn't one to get nuts about
digital codecs, and is perfectly happy with mp3 or ogg compressed
music. Also, he's very definitley not one to think about sound
differences in amps or source components.
Here's most of his reasoning for getting the Sonos:
- No need to run a server. The device can operate with music on a
network share, whether from a PC or a simple, single-drive NAS.
- Native ogg, mp3, flac and other format decoding. Again, no need
for a server to do transcoding, since the device can do it.
- Devices are available both with and without built-in amplifier.
This works out for his plan to run one or two devices in bedrooms
without a need for a separate amp, and one on the whole-house
system.
- Excellent synching capablility, including the ability to synch a
player to another that has an analog input. Being able, say, to pipe
the audio from a football game playing in the family room to the rest
of the house.
- The remote is cool. The coolness factor of the remote interface
was a big selling point, no matter that each remote will cost $400.
