Re: [slim] I want a Squeezebox boombox

Well, first some history before I bought a Squeezebox, I started by looking for a network music player with built-in speakers. I wanted to use it primarily in the bedroom and outside (poolside), but also have the choice of connecting it to my sound system in the living room (where I rarely listen to music). That left me with only two choices something from Linksys which got terrible reviews, and the MacSense HomePod. (Both are only 802.11b wireless.) Despite the mediocre reviews of HomePad, I decided to try it. Well it was awful worthless speakers, terrible screen, crapped out all the time, etc. Look up my review on Amazon if you want to know the details. After that experience I went to the Squeezebox2. It was more than I wanted to spend, but it got such good reviews I decided to go for it once I knew I could use it with PC speakers for the bedroom where I didn't have a home stereo. It works for the bedroom beautifully (aside from some headphone jack issues which are still being resolved), but I still can't conveniently use it outside or in other rooms of the house. I'm stuck burning MP3 discs and lugging around a heavy, clunky boombox to use out by the pool. :-( What I would love is something as good as the Squeezebox2 but with (decent!) built-in speakers and a single power plug. I personally don't have a need to use it on battery power, but it would be a nice option. This way I could use the box in any room of the house, even where there is no home stereo to connect to. THAT is what I would call plug and play! Of course it should also have audio outputs for connecting to a home stereo when one is available. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Recommendations for newbie
Watch the microwave with wireless. Some Microwaves will kill your network. Especially close by. My SB2 is more resilient than my laptop.

A few questions: is the performance of the wireless SB2 good enough to get this version rather than a wired one? My other question concerns speakers and an amp. I was hoping to find some decent in-wall amplified speakers for around $200 to $300, but I can only seem to find powered speak ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I heard from a rep last night that they expected to get them/ship in three weeks time.
