Bud and Dane,
Have a look at the following link. Be careful because it is long and goes
on to the next line-
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Squeezebox-Network-Player-Internet/dp/B001DJ64D4/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335494320&sr=1-7
but, also have a look at-
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Squeezebox-Radio-Player-Screen/dp/B002LARRDU/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335495172&sr=1-3
which seems to do the same as the squeezebox boom but in a smaller unit.
If you go to the Logitech web site, it would seem that the Squeezebox Boom
is no longer available and that would explain why the amazon price has been
driven up so high.

Subject: Re: which web radio?
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.

They had smaller ones there but they didn't call them 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.

Hang on, they're certainly not worth $500.00 so you must be getting the
Squeezebox you saw on Amazon confused with something else, perhaps
another Squeezebox model for example?
As I said in the review, I only paid $200.00 for my Squeezebox Boom and
that's about what everyone else I know has paid, some have paid nearly
$300.00 but certainly not $500.00.
