What a truly great bit of kit.
Connected first time to my pc, 80gig of music scanned relativly quickly and now i have almost instantaneous acsess to my music and radio..Great screen, responsive remote.Really wonderful.
Once things settle down i might look at the duet remote but not really sure i would NEED it.
More important to look at a nas or home server though will keep an eye out on peoples experiences with the former and the new Squeeze centre software.
Anyone hesitating over purchasing either version of the Squeezebox should not.It really is that good.
cheers

Can I ask you where you got it 2nd hand? I had a few bids in on fleabay but most went for close what I can get a brand new one for, so that's what I have done. Fair play if you got a bargain though.
I had always intended getting a SB with display and will wait for the reviews on the duet. Fingers crossed my SB3 will turn up tomorrow, so I can get cracking. It's an odd design though and despite how good the display looks, I still think it's going to stick out a mile, so I wanted to wall mount it out of the way.
As I'm looking at getting another universal remote, I thought I would hang fire to see if the duet one lives up to the hype. The other Harmony (Logitech) remotes have pretty shoddy build quality and cr@ppy buttons. Don't get me wrong, I love my Harmony 525 as it's a breeze to set up and apart from the odd glitch is a pretty fine bit of kit that I would recommend to anyone. I am in the middle of configuring my ancient Pronto for the bedroom and it's a hobby setting that thing up..... especially now it's an older model. I will probably get a duet for the living room and a NAS to house all the music and my photos. I will stick with external drives to house my DVD back up collection though.
