I am a staunch suporter of the Squeezebox system. I am a newbie to Squeezeboxes but even so, in a matter of a month I have become the proud owner of the SB Boom, then the SB3 and most recently the SB Radio. I litterally have been consumed with listening to sooo much great music with fidelity that is close to or even better than CD quality. I enjoy listening to my Boom at night and can listen to many talk stations that are not broadcast locally. It has allowed me to watch less TV and be able to fall asleep listening to the Boom. In the morning I eagerly awake just to listen to my Radio in the kitchen while I make my coffee and I sync it to my SB3 so that when I go to different rooms the music follows. But, I am sure you are familiar with the advantages of internet radio stations and playing MP3s. I am more into the stations but sometimes I will go into my MP3-locker and play from my collection of CDs/itunes music. It also plays very nicely.
I am not familiar with Sonos, but I am extremely please with the Logitech products and I have found that with a new release (ie; the Radio) they have picked up on the bugs that occur with any new release and begin correcting and fine-tuning things very quickly. The forums are a good place to vent some frustrations and I believe that the techies that work for Logitech and really want to remedy problems...and they do so day by day. The functionality of the Boxes is fairly complex but at the same diversified so that it can be customized to many people's tastes and individual preferences. I really love Squeezeboxes and I recommend them. But, be prepared for the initial and perhaps frustrating learning process that,no doubt, will need to take place. Luckily, Logitech has this GREAT forum and it is loaded with people who will help and guide you through the process. In adition, as I mentioned, there are actual skilled and talented techs who may even be employess of Logitech that will sometimes provide one-on-one assistance. Yes, you will see an occaisional dissatisfied forum participant who may rant about a problem that they are having. But, for each one person dissatisfied, there are hundred and hundreds who are very happy and content with their Squeezes. One piece of advice that someone gave to me when I was considering the SB3 vs. the Duet. Someone on the forum offered the advice to get the SP3 and use the itouch/ipeng app to control all my products. I did this and I am thankful for that. The SB3 functions great and the ipeng will control all my Squeezes. And, I now have an itouch that allows me to do many internet and wireless things. I recommend Logitech. IMHO Good luck and let us know! I am confident you will like it once you learn it. -- Ikabob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ikabob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70113 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
