Slim Devices releases Squeezbox2
About 2 years ago I took the plunge and dumped our entire CD collection (about 400 discs) to a small server. We purchased a SlimP3 player and a Linksys wireless to ethernet connector and we were broadcasting from the "media server" to the living room with full access to our collection from the handy remote control. We've since added a TiVo, which can play music from the same media server.
The SliMP3 has performed flawlessly. The large display is readable from quite a distance, and the remote is intuitive. I chose this device because it has this great display and doesn't require a TV set or entire media center to set up. We have ours in the living room where there is no TV set - it seems like most similar devices require that for display purposes.
The SlimP3 continues to evolve, and I just received word that their newest device is ready to go:
"...Slim Devices has been hard at work on Squeezebox2, our next-generation network music player. Squeezebox2 features include:
- True 802.11g wireless
- Lossless compression (FLAC) support
- Audiophile-quality digital and analog outputs
- Enormous audio buffer
- Grayscale display with more than twice the resolution
- Pure-software audio decoding on a screaming fast processor
- Bridging, cross-fading, visualizers, and more..."
