Just brilliant!
Imagine Jive Bunny had taken a shot at a party megamix of Daft Punk. Now imagine that Daft Punk had found out about it, beaten the hell out of Jive Bunny, and done it themselves. If you like Daft Punk, this is an unbelievably good album. There just isn't a bad (or even mediocre) track on it!
Buy it, beg it, borrow it - just listen to it.
Oh, and if you don't like it you probably need better bass! :)

One of the best music streamers
2 of 2 found this helpful I have no idea why Logitech stopped making these. Even now they are amongst the best networked music players out there. I've had Slim Devices since 2002 wiht the original SliMP3, and currently have a Squeezebox 2 and 3x Booms. For me this was easy to set up because I already have the server in place. I accept that if you don't have a Squeeezebox Server it could be a hassle.
What's good:
* Sound quality is great for its size. It's easily up there with the likes of Sonos who came along years later.
* Super simple in use. Totally passes the wife test.
* Format support is fantastic. All of my music is FLAC, but it will play pretty-much anything. And whatever it doesn't understand can be decoded at the server and streamed acress.
* Easy to expand. I bought one on eBay, plugged in power, picked my wifi, entered the password, and that was it. Straight into my library.
* A device for every purpose. Squeezebox Boom will fill a moderate-sized room. Squeezebox Radio has a battery so you can take it into the garden. The "main" Squeezebox line will plug into a hifi. Transporter will give you full-on audiophile quality to match your 15-grand speakers!
* Perfect multi-room sync. Put players in different rooms (or even within a large room) and sync them - they will stay rock-solid together.
What's bad:
* Hard to get hold of these days - you're basically huthing on eBay. This is probably not a system to start building these days, and those who have one already know what they're getting. You can run Max2Play on a Raspberry Pi, but I've not experimented with this beyond a pair of cheap headphones.
* The display. It's a fantastic display, but being a VFD it gradually gets dimmer with use (like over years). Not exactly a show-stopper, but it lets the package down a little.
* Fart-bass. I picked a device up on eBay which had buzzy bass. It got worse over a few years. Turns out that the speaker surrounds deteriorate and split. These can be fixed (new surrounds) or replaced (new speakers) quite easily, but it's there anyway.
* Wants a server on your network. It doesn't _demand_ one, but it's a little restricted without it. On the plus side, the server can be run on a Raspberry Pi these days, and many NASs will run it.
If you already have Squeezeboxes, you'll already know what you're getting into, you'll already appreciate the Slim Devices designers' attention to sound quality, you'll be familiar with the ease of use, and you'll probably alraedy love the things.
If you don't already have them, I find it hard to recommend buying into the ecosystem when the devices are no longer being developed or manufactured. Especially when I'll have to bid against you!
tl;dr - I know someone who spends 5 figures annually on hifi, and the only reason he didn't get Squeezeboxes is because they don't make them. He'd much rather have these than Sonos.

What a shame...
0 of 1 found this helpful This CD is basically a bunch of (mostly 3rd-party) remixes of songs from the Discovery album. Discovery was rather maligned by the critics when it appeared, and maybe not "click" when you first hear it, but when you finally get it, it's a great album. Daft club is like watching a good friend repeatedly punched in the face.
There are a couple of decent tracks on it, but don't bother - buy Alive instead if you don't have it.
