Our Christmas dinner this year was hosted at Stella’s sisters house, where her husband Fred has also caught the Squeezebox fever. He caught it from me, I admit it freely. During dinner music was playing in the room but not obtrusively so. It sounded good, but didn’t compete with conversation. I didn’t even see the source of the playback in the room.
A little later it was revealed that Fred has purchased one of the new Logitech Squeezebox Radios. It looks like an interesting little box, definitely worth the $150 street price that seems to be emerging. For more about this new gadget you can read Tim Higgins review over at Small Net Builder.
On a more somber note, Fred found out that the Squeezebox3, aka the Squeezebox Classic, has been discontinued. That’s a pity since we have several and could easily add one or two more. I suppose that will drive me into the new Squeezebox Touch model when it finally becomes available. Such is the price of progress I guess.
