Without your PC
The Boom is just a big
Black box of quiet. Turn your computer off and the Boom can’t stream files (obviously) or pick up any internet radio stations (not so obviously). There’s no DAB or FM tuner

We really liked the Logitech Squeezebox Boom, though arguably setup and feature navigation on the largely similar Philips NP2900 product was easier still. It’s a chunkier device than the Philips but would still fit neatly on a shelf or bedside table...
Abstract: The Squeezebox Boom is a well-built audio streamer with front-panel controls and a small remote. We liked the chunky rubberised dial, which made it easy to enter our wireless password and scroll through lists of content. The large mono display is bi...

There’s no faulting the Squeezebox for what it does (play music well) or how loud it does it (er, loudly). It’s what it doesn’t do (work without a computer, pick up normal radio) that makes us doubt we can squeeze a full £200 of val...
Vast codec support; terrific PC software; simple operation; Last.fm integration; podcast support
No support for DRMed WMA files; headphone socket unusally positioned
