Slim Devices Squeezebox 3 Digital Media Streamer review

Slim Devices’ Squeezebox offers another solution to the wireless music problem, but manages to do so at a comparatively bargain price. This unassuming piece of equipment, available at just £220, costs under a third of a basic Sonos system yet it does a very similar job.

..The SlimServer software allows you to stream music directly to software media players such as Windows Media Player. That means you can stream tracks from your music collection PC to other machines on your network without having to buy another Squeezebox. It also means (if you have a static IP address) that you can access your music from a Wi-Fi connected laptop on the train to work, or a PC in a friend’s house.

..It won’t be for everyone, but with the Squeezebox Slim Devices has most of the wireless music bases covered. Not only is it good to listen to with the right kit, it is also very easy to use and has a myriad of ingenious features. Sure it can’t quite match the elegance of design, engineering and sheer desirability of a Sonos system but Slim Devices’ little Squeezebox is a masterpiece of innovation and well worth the money.
