Play all of your music from the palm of your hand
The multi-room controller with 2.4-inch color display makes it easy to browse playlists, albums, artists, and more. Even search by name. Convenient scroll wheel, simple menus, and intuitive buttons make navigation a breeze.
Experience incredible sound quality
Expert engineering and sophisticated audio rendering technology provide sound clarity to please even the most demanding audiophile.
Enjoy a hassle-free, wireless setup
Advanced 802.11g wireless technology eliminates the need to string wires everywhere just to listen to the music from your computer. And setting up an additional room is simple as pushing a button — even on secure networks.
Listen even when your computer is off
Access millions of songs, thousands of Internet radio stations, and music service providers such as Pandora, Rhapsody and Slacker, without ever turning on your computer using SqueezeNetwork™, our unique Internet service. Even your personal music collection can be stored online in an MP3tunes music locker and played through your Squeezebox.
