The Logitech Squeezebox Boom Sets The Standard Among Media Devices.

Actually Logitech Squeezebox Boom is speaker with two integrated wireless devices that allows it to be connected to your computer and internet at the same time. It is, to date the best sounding media streaming system we have tested, you can tell that a lot of time and money was put into the design of this system. A few small tweaks would make this the end all of portable radio players.

It's worth noting that the remote which comes with the standard Logitech Squeezebox has more buttons, and is compatible with the Boom. Additional buttons on the full remote include alpha-numeric keys, search, favorites, browse, shuffle, repeat, display size and brightness. Also offers the same functionality as the controls on the main unit and adds a sleep timer button and a home button. The remote is about the same size as 2nd gen iPod nano and would be easy to lose if it weren't for it's enclosed magnet. It's packed with a audio cable for auxiliary input, plus a required power supply to keep the unit operating for audio and as a simple digital clock. We definitely like it's simple, clean black styling, push-button central dial and nicely labeled front controls, and the way that stations have sounded as we've been testing them.

With this new player, digital music can be played in the kitchen, the bedroom or any other room. There is no need to attach extra speakers for this. The display scrolls information about the music playing and also acts as the main display when adjusting the settings. Below the screen are six backlit buttons that can be assigned to any internet radio station you prefer. The updated CNET Wi-Fi radio roundup, which includes some lower priced alternatives, and the overall list of best network music players.

Just plug the new Logitech network music player into a power outlet there are no additional wires to connect. Then, using your existing home network, you can listen to the music you love from the personal collection on your computer, and subscription services such as Rhapsody(R), Last.FM, Slacker, Pandora(R) and Sirius even when the computer is off.

Use the convenient sleep mode to automatically turn off your music. A built-in backup helps keep your alarm settings for up to two weeks if your Boom is unplugged. It's also able to keep time and play alarms even if your home Internet connection goes down as you sleep. And the alarms interface is solid and flexible, allowing you to program multiple alarms for different days and times.

It was very easy to set up. It recognised our wireless network soon after we plugged it in and switched it on, and prompted us to enter the key. This is a little fiddly, as you have to use the dial on the front of the unit, but it's easy to go back and correct mistakes. Now I guess it doesn't make it any worse that you can play your favorite music straight from your computer so let's get this show on the road and see what type of player we really are talking about.
