There is also a stereo headphone jack (although the Radio itself has only a single speaker), and on the back, a wired Ethernet port and a 3.5mm jack input. On the front is a 2.4 inch colour screen, 6 numbered presets, a large rotary controller, a smaller rotary volume control, a power button, and 8 further buttons: Home, Alarms, Add, Back, Rewind, Pause, Forward and Play. There is an internal rechargeable battery which (says the manual) takes 6 hours to charge and then plays for 6 hours of course you can use it while charging. A recess in the back forms a grip for easy carrying in one hand. The unit has a beautiful though easily marked shiny black finish and surprisingly weighty, probably a sign of quality. Out of the boxĮnough preamble, how is it out of the box? What you get is the UE Radio, a power supply, a standard 3.5mm mini-jack cable, and a brief introductory booklet in eleven languages. It is intended to offer a simple out-of-the-box experience without any setup issues, whereas the physically similar Squeezebox Radio which preceded it was unashamedly part of the Squeezebox system.
UE MUSIC LIBRARY MY MUSIC FREE
Turn it on, connect to your Wi-Fi network and instantly have access to thousands of free internet radio stations from around the world, online music services, as well as the music stored on your computer. Other products in the new UE range – headphones, wireless speakers – have nothing to do with Squeezebox.Įven the UE Smart Radio does not use Squeezebox branding at all. Now Logitech seems to have abandoned efforts to beat Apple in home entertainment, and the UE Smart Radio is the only current product which still uses Squeezebox technology. Products like the Squeezebox Touch, reviewed here, won acclaim for their high sound quality and the flexibility of the system, but the weak point has always been that setup is too complex and quirky to win over the mass market. Squeezebox build up an enthusiastic following, and in 2006 the company was acquired by Logitech which set about bringing the system to a wider market.
UE MUSIC LIBRARY MY MUSIC SOFTWARE
The Squeezebox music system originated with a company called Slim Devices and consisted of open source music streaming server software and hardware players which you connected over wired Ethernet or later Wi-Fi. The Logitech UE (it stands for Ultimate Ears) Smart Radio has some history behind it.
