Well, it's all getting a little clearer to me finally. Amazon does
have that one they call "Boom" for $500, and then the "Touch"
for$250 and one called "squeezebox radio music player" for
$150. I'll have to read your article again to help me get what I'm
looking for. Actually I'd like to get a stand alone that doesn't
have to involve the computer at all. Thanks for your patience.

I don't know why I bother sometimes <smile>, I explained the
different models of Squeezebox in my review, the "Boom" was the type
I demonstrated, looks like a boombox.
The "Duet" is a hi-fi tuner model with a colour screen remote control.
The "Touch" is a system using a touch screen with SD card slot and USB socket.
As far as I know they're the only 3 model of Squeezebox system
available but none! are selling for $500.00, the Duet" may come
close and perhaps that's the model you're thinking of.
Whatever model you select you can control them in at least 2 of the
3 ways I described, the "Touch" obviously can't be easily controlled
from its own control panel but you can control it from the your
Squeezebox account or from an external app say for an IOS or Android
device, from the Squeezebox Server application etc.

Boom. Their $500 boombox sounded quite large, more like the old
boomboxes the kids had. They had a Squeezebox there that wasn't
called a Boom that was around $150. Maybe that's the one you were reviewing.

else, perhaps another Squeezebox model for example?

see it on Amazon at $500 which I can't afford. I also noticed one
there called Grace which sounds pretty good for about $170. Has
anybody tried one of these things and how successful was it as far
as blind friendly. I currently have a Sanyo W227 which is a great
radio but not at all accessible except for the eight presets.
