Great Toy - But here's a tip that will save you some $$$
First off, this is a great device. A have been upgrading my Squeezeboxes for several years and the Duet is by far the coolest. I have a friend that spend three times this amount on a Sonos and they have the same features, including access to internet radio and other subscription services such as Rhapsody and Sirius. However, I found out a piece of information just after I bought and installed my Duet that would have saved me a lot of money.
If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, yo...

Logitech Squeezebox Duet Network Music System
By William Higgins, Editor-in-Chief at http://www.5dollarmusic.com
The iPod revolutionized the personal music experience, but the Squeezebox Duet will revolutionize how you listen to music in your home!!!
I am really blown away by this product. With springtime upon us I used this the time this past week to wire my den and back porch with in-ceiling speakers. I had an old Onkyo A/V ...

Now with Sirius radio! Count me in!
It's hard to review the Squeezebox Duet without comparing it to the Sonos system, current ruler of this class of products.
Since there are already many excellent reviews, I thought I would focus on a comparison of the two, to help you decide which system best fits your needs.
Controller
----------
Both controllers are responsive, pleasant to hold and operate. They are well built, and their LCD screen of excellent quality and easy to read.
Squeezebox: thin, light, e...

The promise of open and easy access to all of my music finally fulfilled.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) A promise fulfilled. Quick, convenient, and effortless access to both my own local music files, but also internet radio and popular online music services. Easy to configure, easier to use. Attractive, intuitive, and responsive. A wonderful solution, and I'm rediscovering music files I hadn't touched in years. That's my review, and if you're looking for a quick and easy synopsis, that's it. What follows i...

A Few Flaws Stand in the Way of Playing Your Music Anywhere...But It Does Work Eventually
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I was unclear why this was called a Squeezebox Duet until I discovered it to be a two-part system - the Squeezebox Receiver base station and the Squeezebox Controller remote. The functionality of the base station is pretty clear - it's a black brick that pulls audio from a networked PC or the Internet via your Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet home network. The remote is a multi-room controller with a 2.4-inch full-colo...

Great idea, poor product
Bought the first Squeezebox Duet at the end of June. Fired up fine. Within a week the remote began to fail. Within days of that the remote failed completely.
Logitech's support was excellent once I got pass the first level gatekeeper. Per their instructions I re-set the unit several times. The remote might work for a couple of hours or a day and then fail. I also learned at that time that the problem with the remote is widespread.
On the 30th day of ownership, Logitech advi...

as much as i love the Squeezebox "Classic", the Duet is not yet stable enough...
the duet is basically qthe classic squeeezebox with a change in user interface philosophy - the album info now migrates to a nicer (albeit small) interface on the remote's (called the "controller") nice color display. before you'd have to look at the SB itself to look at what was playing on its LED display. the player itself (the "receiver") now offers no song information, just status information via a button that changes colors depending on whatever operation status its in.
so look a...

Poor Quality, Network stinks, Remote forgets!
Ok, first let me state that I am a techie...have always been one. However, I am an average consumer in that I expect the product to work as advertised.
I spent about 3 hours today attempting to get the Duet up and running. My home pc is on a wireless G network...about 30 feet from the Duet and also about 40 feet from the router...the Duet is about 25 feet from the router.
1)The software on the pc is stated at version 7.0.2 but looks and feels more like version 1.0. It's ...

Not ready to market!
We have been trying to set this thing up since Christmas. Three weekends wasted. The flowery reviews above are clearly written by marketing people for this thing. We got it working a couple times, but the music would be choppy, skipping, and repeating. So, we tried an Ethernet cable. It worked, briefly, until we removed the cable to test to see if the system really was using the cable or the wireless. We never got it working again. We powered down the unit and rebooted the controller. I ...
