audio

I just added a Logitech Squeezebox Boom to my bedroom. I can't say enough good about the Logitech (formerly Slim Devices) Squeeze products. I already had a Squeezebox in the living room, and decided that the Squeezebox Boom would be a great addition for the bedroom.

It has a line-in jack so I can take the audio from my LCD TV and jack into it for much better quality than the TV's internal speakers.

I doubled-up on the upgrade and added a Logitech Harmony 610 universal remote. My cable box remote refused to control the volume on the Squeezebox Boom since it acts much like a DVD player. I already had one of the Harmony 510 for the living room TV so it was a natural step. I love how configurable these things are.

Surprisingly, the Harmony wouldn't do the "stop" command for the Squeezebox. You'd think that with both being Logitech products you'd get full button support. I used the learning feature to teach it the JVC DVD remote equivalent that works for the Squeezebox interface.
