I have speakers in the lounge, dining/kitchen and deck so I'm not sure I'll use it anywhere else. Maybe in the study or to move to the other bedrooms etc as required. I think they are great. I use mine as a bedside alarm clock, waking up to Internet radio. Good for the shed/garage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes you can - there is a minijack input on the rear of the Boom next to the subwoofer output. But why would you, just configure the Squeezebox Server software to link to the Itunes library on your Mac or PC and all the music will be available to you wirelessly (or cabled ethernet).

nixon76 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Not sure he carries his computer with him when he visits his girlfriends though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarillo Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 yes nixon you are right. I have my house, am away in motels one week in three, and am often at hers - which means my stereo is not in front of me all that much and don't muck about with laptop at hers. Ipod works as it is with me whenever I am not home but so far every ipod player I heard was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikecrumpets Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 It was only ever designed as a portable music player, you can trust Audiophools to try to turn a relative sows ear into a silk purse eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
