Yes, good post. I have an SB3 and a Boom, running SqueezeCenter on a RedHat server and I'm very happy with it. I haven't moved to 7.4 because 7.3.3 is stable and I don't need the later release. I've also just finished converting my music (CD, MD and cassette) to FLAC after 18 months of SB

You're always going to see negative comments, that will never change. Even when a product is the best of its class, or like the Squeezebox line, simply the best. There are still problems with the software, different people have different issues for different reasons. You're always going to see

I agree entirely, because its free however, it doesn't really get the resources it needs these days to keep up with all the other product changes. Squeezebox Server really does need to be a product. Dave -- DaveWr

++1, I simply *love* these products (Duet and Boom(s) at my house). Despite the odd timeout fetching an internet stream, I've never regretted buying any of them. It just gets better and better for me, and I added a 2nd BOOM last month. All are connected over wireless. -- apn

Hi all Why is there so much negativity on these products -- from what I can see 99% of problems are related to incorrect network setup or Broadband bandwidth issues. OK some of these Network problems can be confusing to Non computer techies -- especially if there is an unseen IP address

Good post. Despite a few niggles I am very happy with my 2*SB3's, Squeezebox Radio and old SB1. I'm very impressed with the radio, it looks great and works well. Personally I think the niggles are worth it for the flexibility you get with the Squeezebox Server approach. Although it just works

+1, my SB3, 2*Boom, TP and Controller are great. In contrast, it's taken me 4 MONTHS to get a workable set-up to hook up my DLNA-enabled Sony TV to a DLNA media streamer on Vista! -- amcluesent amcluesent's Profile:

I think 90%+ of the people who post here like, or even love, their Squeezebox products. I own a bunch and overall they're easily one of the best purchases I ever made. I hope to the Squeezebox system for the rest of my life and losing it would be a great blow. The negativity has to do with with

Hi, I suspect it is because most folks here are here for help, as opposed to all working fine... I know I joined because I thought I would need help, but nope... All went well first time, and all is running like a top here in Oregon. Nice system, well thought out, and virtually no issues of

Other than the SBC that I sold on ebay, the other four players (2 X SB3, SBR and boom) have been ultra reliable from day one and are used on a daily basis. All ethernet here, none of that new fangled wireless thingy for me. Seriously, it's ethernet because I can but I'm sure if I had to use
