Review
| Advantages: | easy set up process; expandable; elegant menu system; less expensive |
| Disadvantages: | works only with non - DRM file |
This is a brand new device for me, I learn it when see Squeezebox at store. Squeezebox lets you play your digital music through your stereo system using your wireless or ethernet network. We can also listen to Internet radio stations, set alarms,
display RSS feeds, and even more!
The squeezebox comprises a wired or wireless receiver box that connects to a set of speakers or a sound system. With wireless remote controller to lets you activate the receiver, access music, and adjust settings. You can also expanding this system to another rooms by purchasing additional receivers.
Setting process is easy, you just turn on the system with remote, hook up the receiver to speakers or your sound system, then you pair the remote controller to the receiver and your wireless network. The controller will automatically ask you to enter your password if your network use WEP or WPA security.The next step is to pair the controller with your computer on your network. At this step, you should install SqueezeCenter software on your PC and point the music files folder.Navigate with the controller is just like navigate iPod, with scroll wheel and few other button. As the receiver has 2.4 inch color LCD to displays information and album art. With great menu system, everybody can use it well.
Final word, Squeezebox Duet worked extremely well, with easy and quick setup process. Anyone can use it well and more over this device less expensive. However the bad thing is this Squeezebox Duet will only work with Digital Rights Management (DRM) free music.
