If you have a large MP3 collection, and your home is networked, a device like the Squeezebox will come in handy, letting you play your MP3s through your home theater or stereo equipment, rather than being stuck listening to your tunes through your PC or portable music player.
Laptop Mag has a review of the Squeezebox, and finds the device performed admirably, as well as being easy to set up: “The device powers up in about two seconds, and browsing music is fast, even with thousands of songs. Playback starts immediately. When using the remote to browse a sizable library, switching from one album to another was far faster than getting up and changing CDs.”
Available in wired and wireless configurations at Amazon.
