The moment I saw a SB3 at a friend's place, in 2009, I knew that this was it. This was the solution that I dreamt about in the 1990s, but eventually pushed to the back of my mind because I thought nobody else was interested, and that it wouldn't become a reality in my lifetime. I was astounded

I'll admit to being a fanboy as well. I've always had music going 95% of the time I'm awake and not on the phone or watching a movie; the Squeezeboxen have made it much easier. I can either sync up a number of rooms if I'm moving about or use Other Players to have my setlist follow me around.

Ditto. Nice to see some appreciation rather than just problems on a forum. Have had the original SB3 since 2006 and still love it. The squeezebox radio is in the bedroom but gets carried to the kitchen and garden when needed for dinners or bbq. I couldn't live without them! -- trotsky10
