CEDIA 2007 – Logitech Squeezebox Wireless Music Streaming

So how many of you are familiar with Pandora the Music Genome Project? How about Rhapsody? Maybe some other internet radio station? Well imagine a single device that could stream from all of those sources plus your own computer's library.

Such a device exists, and it's made by Logitech. Technically it was first made by Slim Devices, but Logitech bought them and I guess they made some upgrades.

There are digital outputs that can output in 24-bit DAC for the audiophiles. There is a remote that you can use to navigate, and there is the obvious wireless connection with an Ethernet port on the back in case you place it close enough for a wired connection or don't have a wireless one.

It will play MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WMA Lossless, and WAV files. On top of that you can play music from Pandora, Rhapsody Direct, Live365, Radioio, and Shoutcast. There is also a clock with a nifty (for college students) 7 day alarm that you can set to your class schedule.

I have never used any of the other services, but I use Pandora all the time, I for one would kill to get my grubby little hands on one of these. Thankfully no one has to die, as long as I can come up with the $299.99 one of these costs.
