The Slim Devices Squeezebox music player streams your digital music collection
and internet radio from your computer to any stereo system, powered speakers, or headphones within
your network (LAN). Squeezebox has an Ethernet port and built-in WiFi
capability, so it can be hardwired or connected wirelessly to a 802.11g network.
SlimServer software is downloaded from your internet connection and facilitates
communication between your Squeezebox and computer.
