# Best Deal on Logitech Squeezebox Wi-Fi Internet Radio and Wireless Music Player Lowest Price – Best Buy Logitech Squeezebox Wi-Fi Internet Radio and Wireless Music Player In Stock. Fast – Free Shipping.

Logitech Squeezebox Wi-Fi Internet Radio and Wireless Music Player

The Squeezebox is a terrific device! The Squeezebox itself stores no music, you have to have another computer act as a "server" to contain the music files. This server runs software called "Slimserver" and it will run on any Linux, and it also works from Mac OS X and Windows (including Vista.) I have over 400 CDs converted to FLAC (lossless) and they stream perfectly from my server, even streaming the average 30mb FLAC files via 802.11g - no problems whatsoever. You use a remote control to work the Squeezebox, there are no buttons or anything on the device itself. You can also use a web browser to connect to the Slimserver software and perform all the same functions as the remote and more.

One drawback I found was when I tried running the Slimserver on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my AMD Athlon 64 X2 (dual-core) system with 2gb RAM. The web interface was pretty pokey and would become unresponsive at times, even while the Windows machine was doing nothing else. I moved the Slimserver and music to my Linux server, again an AMD Athlon 64 X2 system running Debian 4.0 and that improved it 1000%. The other drawback I have noticed is that file format is important. The Squeezebox hardware itself can decode MP3 and FLAC formats in hardware, right on the Squeezebox. But Apple formats (MP4, Apple Lossless, etc.) and others such as Ogg Vorbis must be decoded on the *server* using supplemental software. The two biggest problems with that is, increased load on the server and lack of ability to fast-forward and rewind within a track.

Regardless, I like this device so much, I'm planning on getting another one that I can move around where I like, while leaving the first one permanently at the main stereo.

# Buy ZVOX 325 High-Performance Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System Fast Free Shipping. ZVOX 325 High-Performance Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System Today On Sale Excellent Deal.

ZVOX 325 High-Performance Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System

If I could give this speaker 4.5 stars I would. It is a very well made piece of equipment and absolutely simple to set up and use. Music sounds really good through this. You would be challenged to spend $300 for a receiver and speakers that sound as good. It is a major upgrade over built in TV speakers. It has solid bass that you will even hear at low levels. Voices are very clear and natural sounding. You definitely get a widened soundstage with this speaker and you would think that you are listening to 3 speakers (left, right and center).

As for surround sound effects, you may be a bit disappointed. My tv is in a corner which I am sure does not help. You aren't going to be fooled into thinking there are speakers behind you. I would think you may get slightly better results in a room with 4 walls and your tv in the middle of a "narrow" wall. Let's face it, it can be difficult to have a seamless surround sound setup in many rooms. This is a great alternative. I really don't think you could get more bang for your buck than the ZVOX 325. If you eventually upgrade to a real surround sound system, you will be keeping this to add to a second tv rather than selling it on EBay. If you have a learning universal remote, you can program it to control the volume as opposed to the TV's volume control.

# Save on Creative Labs Xmod Wireless Music System with X-Fi Technology !! Best Buy Creative Labs Xmod Wireless Music System with X-Fi Technology Cheap Price for Sale! Fast & FREE Shipping.

Creative Labs Xmod Wireless Music System with X-Fi Technology

None of the spec sheets mention mac and an email inquiry to Creative resulted in them telling me that it was not mac compatible, but I ordered it anyway and it works great. In fact you can plug anything into it to stream to a receiver--iPod, etc. I have a mac mini running leopard.
Make sure you use the remotes, so you can turn off the Crystallizer effect if you like. There is no software interface---again, making it OS independent.

Here is my set-up. The mac mini connects to the USB input of the transmitter (so then you don't need the separate power adapter--use this only for an iPod, etc). That's enough to stream to the xmod receiver across the room, which is attached to a set of powered speakers.

However, I also wanted to play through the speakers attached to my stereo tuner/receiver, which is near the computer. So I have the audio out from the xmod transmitter connect to one of the inputs on the stereo tuner/receiver---I use the VCR-input ports. (This was a mini to split RCA connection.) If you have a Phono input that is probably better since it accepts a weaker signal---if you go into VCR or CD you need to crank the volume. I tried using a pre-amp, but my pre-amp was causing distortion--I originally blamed the xmod, but that was not at fault.

Finally, I want to be able to stream the radio from the stereo tuner to the xmod receiver. No problem, I pluggeed the VCR-output ports on the tuner into the RCA audio-input port on the xmod transmitter. Just be careful switching the stereo tuner/receiver from VCR (playing, say iTunes on the computer) to radio, since the volume is cranked up to compensate for a weak input.

So far, I m very happy with this product.

# Best Price Grace Digital GDI-IRD4400m Wireless Internet Radio Featuring Pandora, NPR On-Demand and SIRIUS for sale. Limited Time Offer In Stock. Fast & Free Shipping In US.

Grace Digital GDI-IRD4400m Wireless Internet Radio Featuring Pandora NPR On-Demand and SIRIUS

This radio is an excellent product. It set up in a couple of minutes and has proven to be reliable and very easy to use. My single complaint is the headset and stereo jacks on the device. There is an AM-like static present when I plug in headphones or connect in my stereo. The noise on the headphones is 'tolerable', but the stereo connection was terrible. I e-mailed Grace Digital Radio Technical support with my problem. They replied and stated that I shouldn't be having static on the audio output (I figured that out all by myself). They then suggested that I try alternative radio stations (AM and FM) and advise if I had a similar issue. I explained that the radio was not an AM/FM radio but internet and that all types of stations on the internet exhibited the same problem. They never replied back to me. I've attempted a couple of times to get a response from them to no avail. In one attempt, I suggested that, perhaps I should return the radio and obtain one from another manufacturer. Still no reply. In a word, customer support for this product - stinks.

# Bose? Wave? music system multi-CD changer, Graphite Gray For sale. Free and Fast Shipping in USA. Bose? Wave? music system multi-CD changer, Graphite Gray Today On Sale.Excellent Deal.

Bose Wave music system multi-CD changer Graphite Gray

My sister and I purchased this for our father for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. One issue I have with it is the COMPLETE lack of manual controls, you are utterly reliant on the remote, and the remote is tiny. I ordered a second remote in the larger size, which is much easier for my parents to read without searching for the reading glasses. But the unit sounds like a dream and has worked just perfectly. So, order the extra remote, best to have one on hand just in case you lose one or the dog eats one (yeah, our dogs like electronic remotes, if they can find them), it's well worth the small amount of extra $. With no manual controls on the unit, you're better off having a spare!

# Best Deal on Bose? SoundLink? wireless music system Lowest Price – Best Buy Bose? SoundLink? wireless music system In Stock. Fast – Free Shipping.

Bose SoundLink wireless music system

This compact little system is simply amazing. The clarity and depth makes my music come alive. It is exactly what you would expect from Bose. Sure it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I compared it with Sony (S-Air wireless system) - Sony is slightly cheaper but doesn't really match up to the Bose quality.

The setup couldn't be much easier either - just plug it into the wall, plug the USB key into your laptop and its all set! Another reviewer has complained about interference with existing wireless systems. I found no such issues. I am able to surf the web, use my cordless handset and play wireless music simultaneously without any interference.

ZVOX Mini Ultra-Compact Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System

I got this to hookup to my bedroom flatscreen, I was using the tv's built in speakers and everytime my very loud central air conditioner turned on I could never get the TV volume loud enough to hear over my a/c. Now with this new speaker it's ooo loud and crisp and clear with a nice warm low end to it as well. Definitely worth it's price and way better sounding than a Bose system of the same caliber. This is the perfect speaker if you just want to replace your television's built in speakers.

Panasonic SC-HTB10 120W 2-1-Channel Slim Sound Bar System with 3D Pass Through Black

This Panasonic sound bar has ok sound. Much better than the built-in, but it's no substitute for a full-powered home theater system. The best feature of this soundbar is it's ability to use the Panasonic Viera Link and HDMI/ARC features. When you use an HDMI cable to connect the two, the soundbar works perfectly with the TV...no need for another remote to control power or volume, and the TV shows the volume setting and changes on screen.

Recommended for newer Panasonic TV owners who are looking for a simple solution to improve built-in sound, just make sure you use HDMI to connect the two.

Sonos ZonePlayer 120 Amplified Wireless Multi-Room Music System

I've purchased 3 of these ZonePlayers now, and use them with the iPhone app from Sonos. While they are not cheap, they are just fantastic and, like an Apple product, they *just work*. I understand a bit about the technology that goes into these -- they are really just a internet-connected computer with an amp built in -- but it is really amazing how simple and fool-proof they made this product. I continue to be blown away.

# Myine Electronics IR001 WiFi Internet Radio Adaptor for sale. Free and Fast Shipping in USA. Myine Electronics IR001 WiFi Internet Radio Adaptor Today On Sale.Excellent Deal.

Myine Electronics IR001 WiFi Internet Radio Adaptor

This little internet radio device is jumping-up-and-down cool! Five minutes after opening the box I was listening to a newscast from France (in French, course) then jazz from Australia, rock from Iceland and later opera and classical music from Italy. How cool is that?

The device doesn't have any speakers of it's own, but comes with and RCA jack that you connect to your receiver, TV, boom box or even a little clock radio. There's an adapter included with a smaller plug for the later. There's a little LCD screen that you operate with a small remote control that's also included. The first thing I did after I connected it to my receiver was to turn it on and go through the menu and set the date and time and hook up to my home WiFi network. It came with a manual which is very well written and understandable, but I didn't even need it. When I clicked on "Network" the name of my WiFi network popped up, I selected it in the menu, entered the password, and it connected in about 15 seconds and it was ready to go. It was super easy. And since it uses Wi-Fi to connect, you don't need a computer. This goes directly to your receiver.

The IRA is classy looking, even though it's made of plastic. I posted some photos of it. I set mine of top of the Blu-ray player in my stereo cabinet. The display screen is easy to read and the menus easy to navigate. You can search by country, genre of music, stations, or new or popular stations. There is an automatic software update feature through the Wi-Fi network or you can check yourself to see if there are any updates available. It also has volume control on the remote.

The sound is crystal clear and since I connected it to our home theater system, I could hear
