Squeezebox Digital Music Player #

JonCheyer pointed me to his new favorite toy, Squeezebox, from SlimDevices. It's a small digital music player -- comes in wired and wireless versions -- that plays a variety of audio formats: MP3, WMA, even Ogg Vorbis and SHOUTcast. Squeezebox gets the music off one of your computers which runs the Squeezebox server software. The software is written in Perl and is OpenSource. The device itself looks nice, and has both digital and audio speaker outputs. At $280 for the wireless version, the price is a bit high, but as Jon points out, these folks are doing it OpenSource with all the pluses associated with that. If that's your cup of tea, it's worth the premium. (I8I)
