Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Squeezebox Wi-Fi Internet Radio Remote ControllerCustomer Review: Good for what it is... Summary: 5 Stars
First of all let me get you grounded in how I am using this...It is for a second music zone in my home. I have a 3 zone audio receiver in the basement with pre-wired in-wall speakers. I also have a HP windows home server with all my music on it. I am a MAC owner with my playlists in ITunes. I wanted to utilize my WHS without booting up a computer and listening through a bluetooth adapter. The WHS has an app that can be installed for the squeezebox. I-tunes playlists can be exported to the WHS and immediately played on the squeezebox. I can control the volume an music from this one little ipod like controller. Its great! This is the perfect solution to what I was looking for. I wanted to play music throughout my second audio zone and control it from an Ipod like device. The Device even plays multiple Network radio stations like Pandora when you get sick of your own music collection!
The good:
All your music anywhere in your house from a single device without having to boot up the computer!
The not so good:
Yes the wheel is a little touchy. No the battery doesn't last forever. I can't stream video.
If Logitech could incorporate this device with video into their Harmony 1000 remote it would make the high end multi-zone whole home A/V dealer programming market obsolete!!!
If it streamed video and was incorporated in the harmony remote this truly would be the ultimate device for multi-zone whole home audio video applications. One step at a time.
