Very Very Happy |

In April 2004 I subscribed to Sirius radio, in April 2012 I droped SiriusXM. After the merger of Sirius & XM the quality of programing deteriated to the point that I only listened to two channels. So I did my homework on internet radio devices and settled on this Logitech 'Squeezebox'. I have purposely waited for over a month to write this review so I could experience what the 'Squeezbox' has to offer.
What a great radio! I admit I'm a devoted radio listener and watch very little TV. So my Squeezbox is often on 15 hours a day and I now have radio from around the entire world to choose from! The setup was simple, the sound delicious, the operating easy. As I write this review I am listening to a station in Brazil. Just wonderful selections and I feel I will never realize the full receptive potential of this radio. Crutchfield was very helpful in explaining the radio and answering questions before and after purchase - and the delivery was FAST.

Annoying alarm |

I purchased the Squeezebox to replace an old Grace Digital Wireless Internet radio, which I had been very happy with, but was no longer available from Crutchfield. I'm returning the Squeezebox because it just doesn't live up to my old Grace. The alarm doesn't allow you to set it to come on to a pre-set radio station. When the alarm comes on, it plays random annoying generic disco music and it's difficult to shut off once it comes on. The alarm volume is also loud, despite having set it to low. Also, to set the sleep function, you have to go through several non-intuitive menu functions. Third, when the radio is playing, the time display is so tiny that it's unreadable unless you are very, very close to the radio.

No Reason for Alarm |

I purchased this radio to use as an alarm clock, hoping to avoid being awakened by incessant commercials. It is not a good alarm clock. Logitech uses a repetitive, synthetic pseudo-rock track as its default. When the alarm goes off, the radio defaults to this obnoxious "music" until the preselected station come in. The volume control for the alarm is "global." Different stations come in at different volumes, however; If one chooses to awaken to different stations on different mornings of the week, some will be too loud and some too soft. Only by chance will the volume be just right.

Good option to hear internet radio/pandora |

I'm really pleased with my Squeezebox. It's a great way to be able to access Pandora and TONS of internet radio stations (there's almost too many). Getting it to work with my wireless router was a chore. Their help line was ok, especailly the 3rd guy I talked to. The sound is pretty good. The station pre-sets are handy. Things I wish I could change are-- 1) I wish I could hook up a couple nicer speakers to it to get music in stereo. OR that Squeezebox offered an affordable version w/ 2 speakers. 2) it turns on a little slow.

Purchased it a few weeks ago, so far its a pretty good kitchen counter radio. I do feel that a little larger speaker perhaps would provide a better base audio. The sound does not match my computer Bose speakers. The 6 pre-select station buttons need a little getting used to, if you hold the button down just a little too long, you just reprogrammed the station. I wish they would have included the battery. Overall, no regrets, I do enjoy it!
