This month’s Go Wireless column features the high end sound quality and versatility of спални комплектиlogictech’s Wi-Music system called the Squeeze Box. The Squeeze box comes in many different versions and configurations. From the stand along classic base system to the new Squeezebox duet system that can control music from anywhere in your home. Logitech provides plenty of room to expand your system with a number of upgrade paths from bedroom to full complete remote stereo system. This system’s price is not for the faint hearted as the starting price for the classic base system is over $199, however, for those die hard Internet Radio fans there is just no other system that can beat the tons of features, qualities and the number of Internet Radio channels this system showcases.

The squeeze box is compatible with Live365, so hooking up to any one of Celtic Radio’s five channels is as easy as clicking the remote button of the squeeze box. Configuration of this device is a breeze. It auto-detects networks and hooking up to your own local wireless network takes only a few minutes (and that is without reading the manual). The sound quality is amazing with rock-solid network performance (no network issues or waiting for the station to load). The size of the squeeze box is impressively sleek and fits beautifully and proudly in with any of your other home theater equipment. Not only can you play thousands of Internet Radio stations, but this unit can sync up with your own music collection on your home PC through an intuitive software application called Slimserver. Again, the theme here is “easy to configure” and the software holds true to that description. The wonderful engineers of Logictech have even included versions to run on Linux, Mac and Windows making this one of the most versatile products available for Wi-Fi music.
