Review: Logitech SqueezeBox Media Bridge Music Player
Review: Logitech SqueezeBox Media Bridge Music Player
September 2007 By Kim WilsonDespite the awkward Web interface, my only disappointment with the Squeezebox was the frustration I encountered when trying to sync my computer, which is hooked up to a small audio system, with the Squeezebox so I could play the same music in two locations. A Logitech product manager explained that I needed to download yet another piece of software, called SoftSqeeze, for this functionality. I was never able to get it to completely sync with my Squeezebox. Close but never exact. In general, SoftSqueeze was glitchy and froze up often. It also seemed to slow down the Web interface. Basically, I found dealing with this piece of software to be a maddening endeavor. Sure, multiple Squeezeboxes can be synced together and this might be the better solution but SoftSqueeze is a free download.
It’s really a shame too because the Squeezebox is an awesome device with tremendous potential. Out of the box I fell in love with its sleek design, simplicity, ease of set-up and operation. However, the love affair began to fade when I tried to personalize the Squeezebox using the Web interface and sync it to Softsqueeze.
The folks at Logitech tell me they are aware the Web access needs some attention and that it’s forthcoming. yy
