Squeeze Box Love'n'hate


I tellya, had I known this thing would be such a pain in the backside.....but yet I love it....when it works!!! Perhaps it's because I'm a MAC guy and my computers just work. This 'interactivity' with the SQ3 goes beyond my extent of how much I want to be involved with digital. I'm also a vinyl guy and I have no trouble with the interactiveness of playing records....in fact I savour it!

So what is it with the SQ3? Well sometimes it's busy 'buffering' when I want to listen to music. Other times it just shuts itself off. And then there's the times when it won't shut off.....unless you unplug it. And at times it loses it's network......whatever, it's just plain frustrating!!!!

Anyone else have this experience?

I bought one of the first Squeeze Boxes. At the time I had a Gateway w/xp and simple home network. I got it setup up and it played one song then my Gateway blue screened and my router died at the same time along with my wireless access point. All of that happening at the same time may have been a coincident, I don't know but I never hooded up the Squeeze Box again.

Months later I bought my first Mac and dumped Microsoft based products altogether. I now use a Mac Mini as a Music Server. So, you can say the Squeeze Box helped me become a Mac person.

Owning a Mac is like being an Audiophile. Those other people just don't get it! Right about now those other people are asking, Get What? but you Mac people know.
