carlseibert Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi All, I got an email today from SlimDevices touting a new boom box-like client for their music server. It doesn't look like it has digital or line out, so it's not a Squeezebox-plus-speakers. But it might fill the bill for a kitchen or the like. The B+W device (that one plugs an iPod into) of vaguely similar form factor sounds terrific, relatively speaking, so it is possible for something like this to be listenable. http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_boom.html ..or for a page made to a slightly different, and somewhat frightening view of the world, try the version on the Logitech site: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/wireless_music_systems/devices/4707&cl=us,en?WT.mc_id=e_logi-email_squeeze-boom_launch_0808_global&strf=Email# -Carl Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi Carl - I think you're right on about this unit having a purpose in a kitchen or similar area. It is pretty cool if people don't try to squeeze this into an audiophile product and then get disappointed about it's lack of features ;-) Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Tonyc Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 A nice way to playback internet radio, for those of us who have unlimited data caps. Cheaper than a Tivoli Internet Streaming radio and maybe the speakers aren't too bad considering. Not audiophile quality, but then again for background music or talk radio, should be fine.
