Feast on an endless buffet of music

A network music player presents you with virtually unlimited ways to play your favorites or discover new music. Access your computer's music library, Internet radio stations, and online music services through your wireless home network.

Our take on the Logitech® UE Smart Radio

by Ralph Graves
Logitech Smart Radio

The Logitech UE Smart Radio puts the world of Internet music in a portable box you can carry from room to room, and its downloadable app gives you full control from your smartphone or tablet.

An endless supply of music from the web

The Smart Radio connects to your Wi-Fi or wired home network and lets you choose from thousands of Internet radio stations. You can also tap into popular online music services such as Pandora® Internet radio, Slacker, Last.fm, MOG, and more. Not enough? The system can also play the music you've stored on any computer on your home network — you'll run out of time before you run out of tunes.

Great sound from a portable system

The Smart Radio features a built-in mono speaker system with a separate woofer and tweeter, each driven by its own cool-running Class D amplifier. It all adds up to clear, detailed sound. You'll espcially appreciate that when you're streaming high-quality digital audio files, including FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, and Apple Lossless. The system's built-in rechargeable battery gives you up to 6 hours of truly portable playback.

Convenient app control

Logitech's Smart Radio Controller app turns your smartphone or tablet into a powerful remote, so you can sit back while queing up your tracks. This free app is available for iPhone®, iPad®, and Android™ smartphones and tablets. It lets you select Internet radio stations, control your online music services of choice, or select and play music stored on networked computers.

The system's 2-3/8" color screen displays song info, station IDs and other text clearly. It can also show screen savers, visualizers, and other graphics from your streaming sources. Six preset buttons let you quickly access your favorite Internet radio stations.

MOG logo

MOG — over 15 million songs, available instantly

You can also access MOG through the Smart Radio. MOG is an award-winning online music service with one of the largest and best-sounding streaming catalogs in the industry. It's the only service to offer all of its music in the 320 kbps MP3 format — that higher bit rate translates to better sound. In fact, we use it frequently in the Crutchfield Labs to test high-end audio gear. MOG's "Primo" service ($9.99/month) gives you unlimited, ad-free access to their extensive music library of over 15 million songs on a wide range of devices including Logitech network music players, Samsung TVs, your computer, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices.

    Better than using an ordinary radio!

    Written By Planenaut, Sonoma, CA on Monday, April 29, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Neat design and good sound. Easy to navigate and one has the world at ones fingertips, in terms of radio stations. This far exceeds any normal radio and when you have poor radio reception due to hills and mountains, such as we have in Sonoma, the internet radio is impossible to beat!
    Pros:
    good sound quality, comapct size, quality finish
    Cons:
    If the broadband connection is intermittent then one loses the station and sometimes it doesn't come back automatically, so one has to get up and hit the button for the particular station again.

    Great Radio

    Written By DougG, Woodbridge, VA on Monday, February 11, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is a great radio. I originally purchased it for my wife but ended up keeping it and ordering her another one. Not only does it let you connect to services such as Pandora, but it scanned my hard disk and picked up all of digital songs and can play them in a random mix. Great sound, too. I originally was going to connect it to my PC speakers but found it unnecessary because of the excellent sound quality.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I purchased 10 of these for X-mas gifts. Everybody loved the idea and the radio. Easy setup and GREAT sound. Works right out of the box, no need to do any additional setup if you don't want to. Looked around alot before i got this one. Was a little worried at first after reading the reviews about the previous model.
