  1. Re:Squeezebox rocks! on Review of the Squeezebox · · Score: 1

    No, the defect was very minor and difficult to replicate
    I bet 99% companies would never admit that it existed.
    Companies are only interested in customers before the customers shell out the money to buy the product.
    Slim Devices guys are different....

  2. No way man on Review of the Squeezebox · · Score: 1

    You never owned the box, so how could you know?

    It is way better then the soundbridge. Buy one and try it out. There is 30 days return policy.
    Excelent internet radio support for example.
    Great community of hackers.
    And many, many more....

    It is great. Changes you life :) Sorts of like Tivo.

    Yes, the box is great. But what really makes a difference is the company and their approach to customers. One time they posted instructions on how to open the box and add a capacitor to fix the headphones hum issue. And the operation did not void the warranty!

    Cool toy for geeks and others too! Here is a good review:
