Editorial Review:
Connect the Squeezebox Receiver to your stereo or powered speakers and create a musical oasis.

Setting up an additional room is simple as pushing a button, even on secure networks. 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 Internet service.

Perfect - and this can be set up without the controller:
I've been wanting a Squeezebox for some time but didn't want to pay for the controller. The Logitech Squeezebox software has long been open source and has a large and very active online community that is supported by the company. I looked through their forum (http://forums.slimdevices.com/) and found that one of their senior members wrote software allowing the Squeezebox Receiver to be configured WITHOUT the remote control. A link directly to the software, as reported in a comment to a previous post, can be... more info
Incompatible with the old Squeezebox:
I have an old Logitech Squeezebox, and I thought I could buy an extra receiver and use as a slave to extend my listening to another room. It didn't work. Because, according to Slimdevices phone support staff, you have to have the new remote control with a built in display to set the Receiver up on the network.

If you already own a Controller, then you can use it to control this stand-alone receiver, allowing you to... more info Easy way to expand your sqeezebox network:
I currently have the Logitech Squeezebox Duet Network Music System which includes one receiver (like this one sold here) and the controller. I wanted to add an additional receiver without spending $400, so this worked perfectly. My one squeezebox controller now controls both receivers, so my husband can listen to talk radio in one room while I get to listen to my favorite Pandora stations in the other room. This will not work stand-alone as the other reviewer stated, but if you already own the Squeezebox... more info Accessories:
