 Simply Fantastic March 15, 2008
Richard Dunn (East Yorkshire, United Kingdom)
This is quite simply the best gadget I have ever bought. Setup is a breeze, the menu is very intuitive and responsive making finding your music effortless. Using the AlienBBC plugin you can listen to all the BBC listen again services, which is an excellent feature. The sound quality is flawless. Do make sure you re-rip all your CDs to a lossless format such as FLAC though, as the squeezebox contains a very high quality DAC (digitial to analogue convertor) which will show up the the lossy quality of MP3s.
If you are considering buying one of these, just do it. it will revolutionise the way you listen to your music collection.
great product, troublesome setup January 13, 2008
A. Macpherson (somewhere, not here)
bought one of the SB3, despite the new Duet coming out soon, largely on the basis of friends use. Once set up, this is a great product, simple - which is good - and good quality. However, setting it up came with a bit of a headache.
Using a HP laptop running Vista Ultimate, connecting wirelessly through to a Linksys WAG300N router, AVG firewall in the background, although to be fair AVG gave no trouble. Also i use Network Magic, but this was of no help, everything was done through the router setup.
In case this is of any use, my problem wasn't that the SB wasn't seen, more that is just wouldn't connect. Hopefully this may be of some use if in a similar position. After many tries, in summary, this si what worked for me,
1, reduce the security from PSK2 (WPA) to PSK
2, make sure that encryption is in the form of TSIK, not AEP
3, type in the MAC address into the allowed connections (and remember to add the address of the pc that you are using as well!!) Most routers are set up as auto.
Thats it, follow the instruction booklet for the rest.
First class product, now just have to rip more cds

This item does exactly what it says on the tin (or box) I had it working within 10 minutes of its arrival... download Slimserver in advance and start ripping your CD collection... plug the squeezebox in and your away. Mine found the network instantly, found the server within seconds and has yet to let me down, no dropouts and high quality sound. I can't recommend this highly enough!
Excellent Product March 13, 2007

Just bought black wireless version. Connected to my Linksys router without any problem. Slimserver software installed, 20 mins later it's scanned my 8000 mp3's and I'm ready to go.
Been running for over 2 weeks now without any issues, sound quality is superb, it has the ability to find songs quickly. Best thing I've purchased in a long time.

I have had this since Christmas - have now ripped (and catalogued) my CD collection, so everythign is on line.
Connecting to my XP machine was simplicity itself. I had a bit more of a problem installing slimserver on my ubuntu server (a lot of browsing on the ubuntu site and lots of googling provided the answer - it was a problem with the edgy packages - to workaround is on the web).
It works great now on both servers. Long term I am going to migrate my music to the ubuntu side.
OK - so much for the technical stuff.
The sound was excellent.
Usability - my 12 year old daughter had it sussed in 2 muinutes of playing with the controls. My wife worked it out too with no instructions - she is a fan too.
What else to say? It looks great. Get one if you have a use for it.
