Music was never more accessible

I've had one of these for over a year now, and I've never enjoyed my music collection more. The evenings are TV-free because I can easily access my favorite cuts, put them together as I want, and repeat part or all as I feel inclined.
Setup was relatively easy. I was a novice at WiFi, but I had mine working for just about a month before adding the SqueezeBox. It installed easily; in less than 15 min. (not including wiring).
Really, though, I think the interface is the greatest. Click-n-hear! Maybe I'm a little too addicted to diddling on the computer, but this is real fun. (Good add-ins too).
One thing, sometimes (rarely) it seems to wonder into the darkness. I found that simply running through the setup menu (using the remote), accepting every entry as present, puts it back in our universe.
Given the hypothetical that my SqueezeBox breaks tonight, I'd order another one--express delivery--before going to bed!

Just got a second one

I had the Roku Soundbridge and seriously considered the Squeezebox 3 the first time around but didn't see what justified the $100 premium. Part of the cost seemed to be the fact that it was made in the United States (I think it's made in China now) but also that it was produced by a small company before Logitech bought it. After a move last year the Roku wouldn't turn on and I decided to upgrade. Boy was I happy--enough that I got a second one to use for the stereo in the bedroom.

Pluses:
* good design
* easy setup (if you're comfortable setting up your wi-fi); works fine with higher levels of network encryption
* simply works: press play and things happen; arrows and menus are intuitive enough while giving you a lot of options
* web browser-based controls are a little inelegant on the design side but work well if you prefer not to use the remote
* integrates fine with iTunes

Minuses:
* Seems to rely on the computer for all functions; I put my computer on standby  more

Great Device

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  more
