Redesigned Squeezebox features WMA support, more

Slim Devices today introduced its third generation Squeezebox network music player. The new Squeezebox, which is available in black or white and wireless or wired-only configurations, has been completely redesigned, featuring polished material against a crisp brushed metal fascia. The player includes support for 802.11g wireless, dual internal antennas, 24-bit Burr-Brown DAC, digital and analog jacks, and support for SqueezeNetwork, the new service that enables Slim Devices players to connect to Internet radio and RSS feeds without needing a computer. Along with the simultaneous release of SlimServer 6.2--the companion open-source software--Slim Devices also introduced hardware support for WMA radio and files on all operating systems, wake-on-LAN support, support for Unicode fonts (providing for Chinese, Japanese, and Hebrew text), and an extended radio directory to easily access the best Internet radio stations. The new players are available for $250 (wired) and $300 (wireless).
