Customer Review
I am a radio nut (which goes back to the days of tube) and the Squeezebox Boom Internet radio is the third. I have a Roku SoundBridge R1000 and Sangean WFR-20 also. All have their strengths, but the Squeezebox Boom is certainly an important step, but sets a new standard in high performance, capacity and ease of use.

For wireless transmission of your music collection from your PC or Mac, the boom is the best. E 'can handle most formats (almost anything except iTunes DRM protected files) and works well, without incident or delay. The Roku is the # 2 and the Sangean lanes 3 (hangs and stutters a lot).

For Internet radio, all work well. The Sangean is the only one that runs natively RealAudio Streams (as the BBC) but has problems with Clear Channel stations. They pick the stations I want without problems, so this type of tie.

If you want to interact with online music services like Rhapsody / Pandora / etc MP3Locker, booming great works, with a capacity more than the other two. The SlimDevices / people Squeezebox also update and improve their software much more frequently than the other two, so I hope to stay ahead of the functionality and services available.

In sound quality, the Roku and boom are pending, with the Sangean, but clearly a step forward. The subwoofer Roku seems to go a little "more in my room, but the boom is maybe a little" softer and more musical. Boom uses the same woofer and tweeter as the most 'picks Logitech Z-10 but with lower (due to a larger cabinet and new amplifier / equalizer circuits). Both sound absolutely great and the game pretty difficult.

Ease of initial setup, if you start from scratch, I think the Sangean is the easiest to set up, unless you want to transmit audio from your PC ... is a real hassle. Roku is the rise and require a little more work '.

Ease of use after established: Boom is much better. Not only the menus to make true sense, but the lighting of the controls makes the radio can only be used easily without turning on the lights. The control and function keys back to get you through all functions quickly.

As an alarm clock radio, the rise has more options than others, and the screen has a wide range of adjustment so as not to disturb a light sleeper.

All these radios are a lot of fun. Boom more and do better.Enjoy with Logitech Squeezebox Boom All-in-One Network Music Player.
