MSNBC columnist Gary Krackow has reviewed the Squeezebox and Transporter.
This is what music systems will look like in the near future. Computer-based files, wirelessly distributed throughout your home, sounding great. Squeezebox and Transporter are only the beginning.
2007-02-02
Greg King of TechGage has reviewed the Squeezebox v3.
There aren't many pieces of hardware that deserve a perfect score, and we are rather conservative in handing them out as well, but I feel that the Squeezebox is one of those products that just needs to be used by everyone. Ten minutes with the product and you'll be a believer too.

Stereophile's February issue has a cover article reviewing the Transporter.
Beyond the effortless musicality, I was completely satisfied with the Transporter's sound. The bass was taut, the midrange unforced, the top end smooth and extended...Is the Transporter perfect? If you ask me, it's pretty darned close.
2007-01-17
Son & Image magazine has reviewed the Transporter in their February 2007 issue.
The Transporter demonstrates a real pooling of expertise on the part of engineers, audiophiles, music lovers and other industry partners who are devoted to research and development of digital music network players and reproduction. The device has become a first rate alternative to the throng of network music players. In some ways it has even made inroads as a competitor to the CD player as we have known it for the last 25 years, giving us a taste of how music without physical media will expand to heights and horizons that we can now scarcely imagine.
2007-01-02
The Perfect Vision has named the Transporter the Networked Music Player of the Year.
It's not easy to please both tech geeks and audiophiles all in one go, but that's just what Slim Devices managed to do with the Transporter, a product that sets a new standard for design and sound quality among wireless music players.
Squeezebox3 was also named "The best bargain for streaming music from your PC to your speakers."
If you can't afford Slim Devices newest hi-fi wireless music system, the Transporter, then the company's original Squeezebox device plays a pretty good second fiddle. After installing server software on your PC, cable the Squeezebox into your stereo and start the music streaming over your Wifi network.
2006-12-13
PC World has announced their Geek's Holiday Hardware Wish List and recommended the Squeezebox.
Of course, sometimes it's nice to move to another part of the house—you know, not in front of the PC—to listen to some tunes. A number of streaming audio devices out there let you access music on your hard drive and play it through your stereo, but Slim Devices' elegant Squeezebox remains my favorite.
2006-12-12

SoundStage AV has finished reviewing the Transporter and awarded it Reviewer's Choice.
The Transporter, though, is much more than a WiFi DAC, and its no mere Band-Aid solution. The Transporter is a one-of-a-kind product thats uniquely styled, well built, rich in features, easy to use, and fine sounding. Theres nothing else like it -- at least for now -- and considering all that it offers, its not unreasonably priced. And when you use the Transporter with a computer running SlimServer, it becomes the first-rate front-end of a two-channel, music-serving solution. Its by far the most exciting and impressive product Ive reviewed in 2006, and one I just cant keep from saying too many good things about.

In December's People Magazine, Squeezebox was named the #1 gift for The Man In Your Life.

2006-11-17
Squeezebox was named 2006 Editor's Choice in the December issue of Stereophile Magazine and was also honored in the 2006 Joint Budget Products and Digital Source categories!
The "open-source" nature of the Squeezebox's SlimServer software allows it to stay abreast of new developments, and the Squeezebox itself is an elegant piece of kit. At $299 for the WiFi model and just $249 for the hardwired Ethernet version, what excuse does an audiophile need not to join the 21st century?
2006-11-17
Playboy featured the Transporter in their Potpourri section in their December 2006 issue.
Back in 2003 Slim Devices brought out the Squeezebox, an inexpensive gadget that lets you play music from your PC in any room in your house. The Transporter ($2,000, slimdevices.com) does the same trick but with audiophile-level sound processing and components. This beamer is easy on the eyes and even easier on the ears. We hope you ripped those CDs at top quality.

2006-11-16
"you want this" is how MacNN's Dave Cryer describes Squeezebox in his review for MacNN with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars:
The Squeezebox works impeccably. This device appeals to anyone who has their computer in a separate office and wants to access their music library elsewhere. The extra features make it useful as an alarm clock and you can read your latest RSS feeds before starting your day. If you want very high quality music streaming, then the Squeezebox should be at the top of your shopping list.
2006-11-15
SoundStage AV announced that they will have a review of the Transporter next month.
2006-11-13
PC Pro has reviewed the Squeezebox3 and named it their PC Pro Labs Winner!
But all this would be pointless if the basic music server function wasn't any good, and thankfully it's the best we've used. The freedom is immense: searching and browsing is simple, but it's the extras like the Random Mix option that elevate it above the competition.
2006-11-01
The Gadgeteer has reviewed Squeezebox v3.
The Squeezebox from Slim Devices is a very convenient and stylish way to stream your music collection from one part of your house to the other with minimal setup. Learning to use this device is both simple and fun, making it my favorite device for this type of task.

2006-09-07
Liz Gannes from GigaOM has written an article about Slim Devices, our history, and how things operate within the company.
I was one of the first outsiders to take in the companys newest device, the $2000 Transporter, a fully geeked-out network music machine. (The New York Times is running a snippet on it today) Dolly Parton and Beyonce never sounded so good. And no, they were not singing a duet.
2006-09-07
The New York Times has published an article on their web site discussing the Slim Devices Transporter.
Audiophiles have been feeling left out when it comes to wireless digital music systems. Many systems transfer music with some fidelity, but few well enough to please connoisseurs delicate ear. Now there is the Transporter from Slim Devices, a high-end digital music player with enough pedigree to walk at Westminster.
—John Biggs

Eric Hetherington from GoodSound has given the Squeezebox a very favorable review.
So, the Squeezebox is not the only device to perform the functions it provides, but it does seem to me to be the best-rounded of any such product when functionality and price are considered. It has more features and usability than stand-alone Internet radios, it costs less than products that offer similar functionality and it supports open-source software development.
2006-08-16
Steve Kennedy dropped by to see how Transporter was developing and he liked what he saw. Concluding "Slim Devices' Transporter looks good and sounds great."

Hexus.net has reviewed the Squeezebox and has awarded it an Editor's Choice award:
It's hard not to be impressed with the Slim Devices Squeezebox. It's fantastically easy to set up and the intuitive software will have you listening to your favourite tracks well within an hour of opening the box.What's just as pleasing is the fact that it's more than just a digital music streaming device. Slim Devices has added a number of extra features such as SqueezeNetwork and RSS ticketing support, to make it useful on a number of other levels. It's also versatile enough to play almost every music format and it certainly wouldn't look out of place in your living room.

You may even decide to ditch your CD player completely
2006-07-31

2006-07-24
The best digital analog converter available, the cleanest power supply you can buy, and every digital input and output you could think of.
2006-06-06
AVReview™ has published a round-up review that includes Squeezebox. Guess which was the group test winner?
With a 24-bit Burr-Brown digital-to-analogue convertor (DAC) sound quality is fantastic via the phono outs or through either of the digital connections. We had Bowie's Sound And Vision pumping through and were blown away by the sheer clarity. Furthermore, the menu system is so quick and intuitive that simply browsing through your music collection is almost as fun as listening to the songs themsleves.
2006-06-12
Stanley Miller II reviewed Squeezebox for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and liked what he saw:
Nothing has unchained digital music from the computer quite like the iPod, but a device called the Squeezebox is equally brilliant. ... After trying out the third generation of the Squeezebox for a few weeks, on loan from Slim Devices, the Mountain View, Calif., company that makes it, I can confidently say it's one of the best home media adapters I've played with.

This neat and stylish device enables you to stream digital music - both stored tracks and Internet radio - over the air from your computer to a hi-fi. If you've been hanging back from joining the media-streaming revolution, it could be the gizmo that brings you onboard.
2006-05-04
MaximumPC Magazine has bestowed another rating of 9 out of 10 and a Kick Ass award for the new Squeezebox in a review subtitled "It just keeps getting better."
We've long been fans of Slim Devices' audio-streaming boxes, having praised both the Squeezebox1 and Squeezebox2 with Kick Ass awards. So we won't keep you in suspense: We can find no reason not to do the same for the Squeezebox 3.

PCWorld.ca did a roundup of network music players and picked Squeezebox as their favorite:
The Squeezebox is our top pick. The elegant device uses 802.11g Wi-Fi (the SoundBridge uses 802.11b), and is the only one of the three to support WPA encryption, the more-secure successor to the WEP encryption in the other products. An alarm clock and a headphone jack make the Squeezebox a fine bedside companion.

Clint DeBoer, editor-and-chief of Audioholics.com and president of the Home Theater Alliance, reviewed Squeezebox for Audioholics.com and awarded it 5 out of 5!
Slim Devices has taken a great thing and made it even... well, greater. This is one box that should have a prominent place in anyone's home theater. I am enamored by its upgraded body work and the consistent attention to firmware updates and software upgrades cannot go unnoticed. Slim Devices is a company that is paying attention to its user base and it shows. [...] Go get yourself a Squeezebox.
2006-04-13
Vince Veneziani reviewed Squeezebox for DesignTechnica and awarded it a 9 out of 10 and an Editor's Choice award!
Slim Devices' latest version of the Squeezebox is a hit. Great features, open-source software, wireless compatibility, and a remote make it worth your time and money. [...] Do yourself a favor: if you've been using your computer to listen to music for the past year, get out of that habit and get into Squeezebox.

John Atkinson has reviewed Squeezebox for the Stereophile March 21st eNewsletter:
Not only am I buying the review sample, I might get another to use in the bedroom. (One server can handle multiple SBs.) Love that remote control. Daddy's got a Squeezebox, Momma's not gonna get any sleep tonight!

Squeezebox offers a user-friendly, beautiful looking alternative that is a must purchase for anyone looking to stay on top of the technological curve.This little streaming box that could is a definite recommendation for anyone.

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision reviewed Squeezebox in the April issue and gave it 5 stars out of 5.
The Squeezebox 3 uses a 24-bit Burr-Brown DAC, and it shows. Through a Denon micro, songs sound good, but channel it through a £1000 amp/speaker combo and you light the blue touch-paper: Johnny Cash's voice on Hurt is heart-rending; the AmŽlie OST teleports you to the cobbled streets of Montmartre; while Leftfield's Space Shanty makes you hop around the room like it's 1995 all over again.

Good Gear Guide reviewed Squeezebox and gave it 5 stars!
This is the best media streamer on the market at the moment and a pleasurable merge of form and function. ... Of the many products that make their way through our test centre, very few have supreme design and also work beautifully. It seems that many companies value one or the other but it is rare to find a seamless combination of form and function. The Squeezebox from SlimDevices is such a device - it looks sexy and performs impeccably. ... If you are looking for a way to play your music in a room other than the one your PC is in, this is the device for you.
2006-03-10
PCWorld has done a head-to-head review of digital music players and Squeezebox is their favorite:
The $300 Squeezebox is our top pick.

An alarm clock and a headphone jack make the Squeezebox a fine bedside companion.

David Pogue has written a comprehensive review of the new Squeezebox for The New York Times. He's also made a wonderful video!
Over all, you have to love this sweet, satisfying machine. Its creators have sweated so many details, you want to hand them a towel. Now that CD players, tape decks and turntables are rapidly disappearing, the Squeezebox brings us one step closer to the era of the stereo-free stereo.

In the end, we enthusiastically recommend the Squeezebox to anyone looking to access their digital music collection without being tied to the music server. The convenience and accessibility afforded by storing CD's digitally cannot be ignored and the latest product from Slim Devices is the ideal solution for networking those files throughout the house.

2005-12-26
Wired Magazine has reviewed Squeezebox in the January 2006 issue and given it a full five out of five bars!
And the etched aluminum case is super sexy. But the Squeezebox's software is what really rocks: It serves up your entire PC music collection plus Net radio, podcasts and RSS headlines. Because Slim open-sourced the code, geeks have built endless plug-ins to do even more.

MacWorld magazine has awarded the third-generation Squeezebox a 2005 Eddy Award! This year's Squeezebox improvements came in two stages: a second-generation version that added support for speedier 802.11g wireless networking, a higher-quality DAC, and a bunch of other little tweaks that add up to major improvements in sound quality and stability. The third-generation version took all those features and dropped them into a gorgeous metal-and-plastic case. To top it all off, the included Slim Server software also got several big upgrades this year. Let the music play. |  |

Bob Buskirk has reviewed the new Squeezebox for ThinkComputers and rated it 9 out of 10!
Overall I was very impressed with the Squeezebox. It is small enough that it will not look awkward or take up much space in your home entertainment system. The wireless capability is what really makes this a great device; you are not limited by wire restrictions. You can control what is playing in the living room from your bedroom. There is no lag or drop in quality using the wireless either. You are not limited to use low end speakers either. The Squeezebox supports digital and RCA out so you can hook it up to your high end speakers. The display on the Squeezebox is very cool, the text is big and vibrant, and the spectrum analyzer makes it look even better.
2005-12-10
Mike Chin, of SilentPC Review, has taken an in-depth look at the new Squeezebox:
The huge range of supported formats, the multiplicity of ways it can be used, the functional cleverness of its display and remote, the wireless connection to the PC, easy access to Internet radio, and the capability to fit into even a no-hold-barred high end audio system — these are compelling strengths. In truth, Squeezebox 3 has rekindled my interest in music. I haven't listened to so much music at home or had so much fun with my stereo in years.
2005-12-08
Patrick Schoonveld posted a review on Slashdot of the new Squeezebox:

Gerry Blackwell of the Globe and Mail has reviewed the new Squeezebox.
New Squeezebox is still one of the best wireless digital music players I've seen. And because Slim Devices is constantly updating the software, it's only going to get better.
2005-12-03
Wes Keltner from Gamerz Edge has reviewed the new Squeezebox and seems to like it:
It is so well-made. We see a lot of products come and go here and if there were one that I hate to let go, it would be this product. It did everything I expected and then some. A true audiophile will appreciate the Squeezebox and for the general public, prepare to be floored. If you haven't been on Santa's knee yet, tell him about the Squeezebox. It's small, portable and will not only fit in his toy sack perfectly, but also on your entertainment center. Please? Santa?

Manroom magazine has a review entitled Not Your Mama's Squeezebox and says some nice things:
Bottom line, the SqueezeBox3 is a cost effective digital music networking device that should be at the top of every man's Christmas wish list. The new design alone is enough motivation if you were on the fence over the previous versions and the new features should be enough to send any music lover to their order page. And, if you don't have a clue what I am talking about, put down your club and buy one just to impress your geeky friends.

I haven't been this jazzed about a piece of new gear in a long, long time. ... If you've ever wondered just how good computer based audio can sound, I'd like to suggest trying the Squeezebox 3. ... The Squeezebox is extremely easy to use and is highly configurable to suit your personal preferences. You have all of your CD's right at your fingertips, organized in any fashion that you wish. And let's not forget the fact that you get some pretty decent sounding streaming music as side benefit of the Squeezebox. The Squeezebox is definitely worth checking out.

Ramon G. McLeod writes for PCWorld.com in a piece entitled "Squeezebox2: A True Audiophile's Music Server"
Squeezebox2 has convinced me that you can get serious, high end sound off a drive ... LORDY! Even my wife was stunned, especially when I played a few old 45s that I've transferred from vinyl to digital. The soundstage opened up and was amazingly deep, the bass came alive, and the detail I'm used to hearing when the CEC is playing CDs all returned.

Clint DeBoer, editor-in-chief of Audioholics, has reviewed Squeezebox2 and rated it 4 1/4 of 5!
While there are several products on the market that address streaming audio needs and provide solutions, it is difficult to find one that addresses audio so well. The Squeezebox2 is alone in its combination of price point, connectivity options (optical and coax S/PDIF), DAC quality and wireless-G capability. Add to that the additional features such a VFD, bridgeable Ethernet port and flexible plug-in architecture and you've got a unique product with some rather compelling selling points.

The Arizona Mac User's Group has posted a review of Squeezebox2, written by Arthur Whalem and given it 5 AMUGs out of 5! Quote:
If you are looking for an elegant way to play MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF and internet radio without dragging your computer over to the home theatre or stereo, Squeezebox2 is a wonderful solution. The beautiful 320x32 grey scale fluorescent display and the high fidelity Burr-Brown 24-bit DAC looks and sounds great with any home theatre. Squeezebox2 is a significant upgrade over the original Squeezebox. The new SqueezeNetwork is awesome and Squeezebox2 is the best external audio interface I have used.
