In Use
Setting the Logitech Squeezebox Radio up is an easy enough task. The actual startup of the machine takes a while, on average about 45 seconds before things get rolling. I assume this is the devices way of searching for and reconnecting to your wireless network each time. Wireless network setup is easy enough, but typing in my security key was tedious with the scroll wheel.

Thankfully, after you enter the security key once, you don't have to do it again. The Logitech Squeezebox Radio makes it easy to navigate Internet radio streams and when configured correctly and aimed at your server, the Logitech Squeezebox Radio will play your music as well, including tracks from iTunes.

The 2.4-inch screen is full color and work surprisingly well. With a small screen on a streaming media player, I didn’t expect much. The thing is more like a screen on a PMP or a mobile phone with good color and contrast.

The screen displays album art and can even browse Facebook if that is your thing. The Logitech Squeezebox Radio can function as an alarm clock with an automatically dimming display when nighttime rolls around, which is a great feature. There is nothing worse than a bright light in your dark room at night.

Sound quality from the Logitech Squeezebox Radio is good with nice highs and mids and decent bass. The single speaker means that you only get mono sound, buy you can connect stereo headphones. For mono, the Logitech Squeezebox Radio sounds good and will work well enough for casual users.

My favorite thing about the alarm clock on the Logitech Squeezebox Radio is that you can program it with a schedule for up to seven days. That means you don’t have to remember to turn your alarm off on the weekends, the clock just does it for you. The clock even sets itself from the Internet. A rechargeable battery pack and a remote control are options, but weren't included with my review unit. The Logitech Squeezebox Radio will work with all other Squeezebox components as well as part of an entire music system.
