What do people say
Some Positive
As far as sound quality goes, it is far better than expected. There is virtually no distortion even at maximum volume. I even plugged a set of Computer Speakers into the Headphone Jack and it didn’t make that much of a difference. The Base levels aren’t that deep, but they are there. I can put it in my livingroom and pump it up near max volume and hear it clearly throughout the house.
I haven’t tested the Wireless strength extensively yet, but I was able to hook it up in the garage (1 Floor below and 50 feet from the router) and the signal strength was near full.

I find the Squeezebox to be an extraordinarily great Internet Radio device. Or rather, an Alarm Clock/Internet Radio. While limited by the small, single speaker to ‘mono’ sound, the quality of the output is quite impressive. I suspect there’s a large cache built in because, when listening to the same Pandora output on my computer and on the Squeeze, the Squeeze came pretty close to crystal-clear while my computer’s output was below par.
It’s impossible to say how many stations can be tuned to but the number should be in the thousands. It’s not always easy to find what you are looking for but quick and dirty searches are possible by simply entering the station’s call letters or you can go geographically by continent/country/city/genre.

Some Negative
What don’t I like? I had the radio only three days when it lost all it’s presets. I re-entered them and all has been well since. This is a well known bug. I am using [...] and NOT using my PC so the problem is likely there. Presets should be stored locally, not on a server. I saved all my presets as favorites so they MIGHT be there the next time this happens (then again, maybe the favorites list will be erased, too). I’d like to see an easier way to set the sleep timer. You have to use the menu and it should be a simple button press. Why not use the power button and cycle through sleep settings? i.e. ON … 45 … 30 … 15 … OFF? There also needs to be a simple way to snooze. Maybe the big button in the middle?
The auto-dimming setting gets awfully dark at night! I should be able to set a minimum brightness level that suits me.

This could have been the hottest product. It has a lot of potential. Its too sad that Logitech is frustratingly indifferent to customer issues and have rendered this product extremely unstable with their firmware upgrades as other reviewers have pointed out. I just bought this radio. Did the firmware upgrade. The presets are disappearing. Alarms are dicey. Radio stops playing the station after some time. I checked the forums. Noticed lot of people are having these problems. What annoyed me further is that Logitech didn’t respond to any of the forum posts.
