please compare squeezebox to networked itunes: I can even control things with an iTouch or iPhone using "remote" What would I gain by using this product?

The quality of the squeezebox output would be a lot better than the airport.

No unfortunately it only controls your iTunes Player. I've tried to use it with some of the recording apps like Auria and garage band but none of them worked with the remote.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. But the remote works only with Apple devices, though audio should be fine with most devices.

Maybe, but doesn't the ipod have Bluetooth? I have this dock but don't use it anymore. I now use a blue tooth adapter on my home stereo. Your phone, or ipod now is functionally the remote control. Works much better.

You can use airplay or iTunes, Amazon Cloud, gMusic etc. Airplay is agnostic about the application and source of the music.

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

My squeezebox connects to my server which has the Logitech media server installed. It can play the iTunes folder. YouTube needs a pc/laptop/bluray box connected directly to the amp.

Yes the Squeezebox Duet works fine with iTunes on my Mac. I've had no problems whatsoever.

I don't disagree with Shyamal, but in my home setup, I use the iOS volume control so I don't have to go downstairs to where the stereo receiver is. For background music, I don't mind missing the fuller sound. The convenience is worth it. It also works from my PC via iTunes, and the volume control works there too.

So that means internet on itouch works only if you have wireless? Also I know you can download Audio books, I was actually wondering about Ebooks....But thanks all the same and just so you know your reply did help. =)

That is why I stay away from Apple. Nice products but too proprietary. You could hook your phone via a cable, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Too bad cause this a great music machine. I have two of the logitechs.

The remote works on iphone and also with osX so i guess it should be no problem with ipod either. I havent checked though.

I am not sure how it works, but it seems to work well for me. It actually works better than when I had my AppleTV sitting in my entertainment cabinet behind glass doors. I have not had any issues. You can always download the Apple Remote app if you have an iPad or iPhone. I have found that the Remote app is preferable anyway because of the virtual keyboard and the Remote app connects via Wifi.

hey waves, can you please tell me how you made out with the itunes? I have been trying to find out the same answer before I purchase this receiver. Will I be able to just play my itunes from my computer since it and the receiver will be on the same network? I really like this receiver, and do not need the airplay- as long as this other method of accessing my music is available.Thanks for any help you can give me.

Miranda, I feel I didn't give you a good enough answer earlier and I don't want the contrarians to confuse you. Keep in mind that I am a Roku User/Owner and prefer the Roku to the Apple Product. I believe you are looking for a simple solution, not complicated? It is really going to come down to how much you're willing to do to make it work. If you want it to work out of the box with Apple Itunes... buy the Apple box. If your willing to do some server setups, file conversions and a fair amount of tinkering, then go with the Roku... you can make just about anything work with enough effort. The Roku will never have a native Itunes application as it is a competing device that is partnered with Amazon's VOD service. Because of this, and limitations of the Roku supported file types, there will never be a direct way to play things you purchase off of Itunes. I hope this helps.

Microphone and volume control, call answer, track skip for Apple products. Not sure of remote function for non-Apple devices...
