 Great Conception, Poor Execution July 30, 2010
Keith York (Oakland, CA USA)
This COULD be such a great product, but the radio firmware is HORRIBLY BUGGY! As other reviewers have observed, the radio will power off for no reason, will lose connection to the internet forcing you to constantly unplug the unit, hold down buttons upon restart, and then enter your WIFI codes again and again (not a good thing if you have a lengthy password). I have spent countless hours on the phone with Logitech support. While they are kind on the phone, they don't have an answer, and will walk you through the same instructions time and again with the same results; the next day or two, and your radio doesn't work again. I have been promised call backs from them within 24 hours with "someone who knows how to fix the problem", and no one ever calls. The last person I talked with told me I have to send the product back to them, despite the fact that they know it is a firmware problem which they have no idea if/when it will ever be fixed, and maybe a new unit will work better. What?? I was told they want to further study my radio to find out what is wrong with it, as everyone seems to be complaining of the same problems. How can a unit with the same problems be "fixed" of a known firmware problem that stymies the entire product line's function?? I love the look, sound, and feel of this radio, but it doesn't work the way it's advertised. I'm very disappointed.
Awesome little radio - if you love world music, news! July 28, 2010
The Rebel (Nueva Jersey)
First, it was easy to set up...I should say super easy. I simply typed in the WEP key from my router, allowed it to update and put in my email, and off it went. That is it. I cannot comprehend how anyone could have problems setting it up.
Second, I think it is easy to use. I think it can be a bit challenging to find a specific station you want. I think that the set up could be better, but I am not sure how. I just think it could be. I assume that in the interest of size, the screen can only offer so many options. However, I really just enjoy looking for stations around the world and this is easily done. It is also easy to put in your presets - like a car radio. I also love the local music function, that provides a list of local stations - almost making your am/fm radio unnecessary.
Lastly, the sound quality is not great. However, I would say that this can be solved by doing what I did - connecting it to your stereo or other sound system. I have an old receiver that I love with two nice Polk Audio speakers, and you can just plug in the device. I purchased, for $3.03 a Belkin "Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug/2-RCA Plugs" - see: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Z5CP/ref=oss_product
Enjoy!
 Also a great alarm clock July 25, 2010

The internet radio is great. The sound is not huge but is clear and not boomy. But it's easy to plug into a bigger amplifier system if you want to fill the room. (Or get the Logitech Boombox) I wanted this radio because I am a restless sleeper and love three in the morning talk shows. I don't care if they are pod casts or what. But I do listen with ear buds so I don't disturb my husband. What I super like is that the alarm clock bypasses the ear buds. This has been a problem with any other clock radio I have had in the past. There are multiple sounds to wake up to and you can set them to start soft and get louder. You can set them for any day and it remembers that day (or multiple days.) So my Sunday get up for church goes off every Sunday without me having to turn it on. The little bell icon on the screen tells me - on Saturday night - that its set to go in the morning. You can choose digital or analog clock and dim the screen to whatever. I love the analog set fairly dim and it's perfect.
I took the radio out of state to my daughter's for a week visit. It quickly recognized her WiFi and with her password, it was up an running. Just got home. One look at networking and it was back on my system.
And I can access all my Itunes from my bedroom. I have downloaded books as well as over 2000 songs.
All available any time.

I bought this radio because my son has one and he loves it. The sound quality is excellent.
It comes with a cord to hook up your Ipod.
It is very easy to set up and the size makes it very portable. I would definitly recommend
purchasing this radio .
It's NOT a radio!!! July 24, 2010
Rick (Ohio)
First, let's set expectations correctly here. This is NOT a radio. Repeat, this is NOT a radio. OK, OK, yes, it can play radio stations, and quite honestly, a whole bunch of them including local, national, international, specialized, etc. etc. etc. Logitech, in its marketing, states over 11,000 radio stations, but with Pandora, and other internet sites, the list is endless. So, why the big deal over the fact this is NOT a radio. Real simple, you don't just plug it in and go with it. It is a computer, a wireless computer. It requires setting up. For those of you that don't like to read instructions, then forget it. You'll be frustrated and give this box one star, totally unfair. Again, if you don't have the patience to read, then don't buy this. BUT, and this is a big BUT, if you are a little technical, can read, understand a little about wireless networks, understand a bit about internet sites like Pandora, Last.FM, and the others, and you don't mind an occasional error here and there (read the old "blue screen of death", then you will absolutely love this device. I do. New York, London, Los Angeles, Pandora specialized stations, iTunes on my server, local stations that I never knew existed . . .this device plays them all. For local stations, it plays them better than my old radio, which btw, had some reception problems on certain local stations. No more.
Anyway, hope this review helps anyone considering buying this device.
P.S. One other thing, the wireless router is an important component in using the squeezebox. Need to ensure you have good connectivity and, if not, use the ethernet connection if possible. Otherwise, invest in a better router.
