Squeezebox Reviews
Audioholics Magazine
"Slim Devices has taken a great thing and made it even... well, greater. This is one box that should have a prominent place in anyone's home theater. I am enamored by its upgraded body work and the consistent attention to firmware updates and software upgrades cannot go unnoticed. Slim Devices is a company that is paying attention to its user base and it shows. [...] Go get yourself a Squeezebox." (Full Review )
PC World
"The Squeezebox is our top pick. The elegant device uses 802.11g Wi-Fi (the SoundBridge uses 802.11b), and is the only one of the three to support WPA encryption, the more-secure successor to the WEP encryption in the other products. An alarm clock and a headphone jack make the Squeezebox a fine bedside companion." (Full Review )
Digital Trends
"Slim Devices’ latest version of the Squeezebox is a hit. Great features, open-source software, wireless compatibility, and a remote make it worth your time and money. The price is affordable for those who are looking for a wireless music solution but don’t want to break the bank or give up their savings. Slim Devices offers excellent support with their software and installation, and the documentation is terrific." (Full Review )

"I thought hard and long about buying the Olive Symphony before I finally returned the review sample. There was no such heartsearching with the Squeezebox. Not only am I buying the review sample, I might get another to use in the bedroom. (One server can handle multiple SBs.) Love that remote control. Daddy's got a Squeezebox, Momma's not gonna get any sleep tonight!" (Full Review )
Globe & Mail
"New Squeezebox is still one of the best wireless digital music players I've seen. And because Slim Devices is constantly updating the software, it's only going to get better." (Full Review )
