Logitech Squeezebox Duet

By Mathew Honan

Nice job with the firmware upgrade, Logitech! When we first reviewed the baby Squeezebox five months ago (issue 16.06), we weren't totally impressed - the device seemed difficult to use. Well, we've changed our tune. The Duet now connects your computer's

Easier to set up than a lemonade stand. Exceptional value. Hot mix of internet radio, Pandora, Rhapsody, Last.fm and top podcasts from Odeo and Podcast Alley, plus optional service from Sirius. Remote displays news from the BBC, The New York Times, and mo...

Can be slow connecting to large libraries via WiFi; our 10,000-tune trove sometimes made the Duet controller sing solo. No DRM support.

Logitech Squeezebox Duet

By John P. Falcone

Digital audio is great--especially if you've got a multigigabyte music collection sitting on your computer or you subscribe to an "all you can eat" music service like Rhapsody. The problem, for a lot of people, is that they're stuck listening to all that

Logitech Squeezebox Duet

By Michael Brown

An acquisition by Logitech brings lots of changes to the Squeezebox, one of our favorite streamers-and all the changes are good!

Terrific remote control, inexpensive, open source.

Piggybacks on your Wi-Fi network, compatible only with 802.11b/g.

But after thoroughly testing the Squeezebox Duet¡ªSlim Devices¡¯s first new product since being acquired by Logitech¡ªwe¡¯ve concluded that Sonos has little to worry about. But the Squeezebox Duet isn¡¯t a failure¡ªin fact, it¡¯s the best...

Logitech Squeezebox Duet

By Nate Lanxon

If you can work an iPod, you can work the Logitech Squeezebox Duet. This multi-room audio streamer is easy to use and attractive, too. It supports a plethora of codecs and could be the best, most enjoyable way of setting your PC's music collection free

Easy to use; great design; open-source; huge codec support; Internet radio; on-demand music from Internet Archive; Last.fm integration; gapless playback

Software not included; LCD screen could be brighter; no USB port

A truly superb music streamer, with just about everything a streamer should have built-in and painfully simple to use. No matter if you're a novice or an IT pro, you'll love it and it'll love you back

Every six months or so, a new manufacturer takes it upon itself to flog the terminally-wounded horse that is the ultra-mobile PC. Samsung has cracked the whip three or four times, Asus had a go, and we've seen countless others try and ultimately fail...

Logitech Squeezebox Duet, the ultimate music remote?

By Jonathan Bray

Award: Recommended!

You've got Gigabytes of music on your PC. You have an expensive stereo system in your lounge room. Enter the SqueezeBox Duet.

With its new Squeezebox Duet, Logitech has advanced the cause of dedicated audio streaming a notch further, and it�€™s done it by giving its Squeezebox a split personality

Logitech Squeezebox Duet

By Andy Zarkesh

The Squeezebox Duet differs from most media streamers in that it doesn't display track information. Instead, it comes with a separate handheld device on which you browse your PC's music collection. Your choices are then transmitted via your wireless netwo...

A browser in the hand is worth... �279? Undeniably cool, but too expensive for multi-room and not without its faults.
