The interactive mode uses a media server plugin that provides the song titles. We haven't found a way to embed metadata in the FLAC stream like we can with AAC & mp3.

I've noticed this too for what it's worth

I really love to play the RP flac stream on my Logitech Squeezebox Touch. There are 2 modes: regular and interactive. Recently the iinfo & images of what's playing don't refresh on the regular stream though. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

Momma's got a squeezebox, Daddy doesn't sleep at night.

I love my Squeezebox Radio and highly recommend it. RP, live365, Shoutcast and so many stations to listen,
and the alarm option rocks too.
This is an interesting review about Mondo radio versus Squeezebox

No it's the dedicated RP Roku channel. 
 
edit: I haven't looked into the Shoutcast options Dave linked to.

Here is a list of the current ROKU music options

 You can select any shoutcast station plus it has Pandora and TuneIn and a dedicated RP app.

Can you choose what stream you get from the Roku box?

If you have a TV nearby you can also use a ROKU box to get RP and other stations. You can still hook the audio out to your receiver from it.

Not that one (the transistor radio model), but the Squeezebox Touch. It is optically connected (SPDIF) to my surround system. And I am totally happy with it (you can use the touch screen, the remote, or the Android phone to operate it). I use my Android to peek what is on RP. 50,000+ internet radio stations, but the SBT is glued to RP :- p. Who needs choice?

 

So has anyone purchased this new Logitech Squeezebox advertised on the front page?  I'm getting a price list together so that I can wire our house for internet radio and I'd intended on just using a PC with a line out of the soundcard into a stereo receiver.  This looks like it might be easier to use and just run a line out of this into the receiver.  I'm reading some mixed reviews on it and wanted to see if anyone has one.

Does momma Martha have a squeezebox?

Feel free to PM when you get it and want to trick-out the boom!

Thanks for that. I went ahead and bought the squeezebox boom and will also wait for a battery powered unit.

YUP, you're right! I was just tossing out an option for @PFM in case mobility was more important than the model.

But that is for the Squeezebox radio which is a different animal than the Squeezebox Boom

That adapter will not work with the Boom as far as I know.

You can get this which permits some mobility:

Hours between charges

The battery can power your
Squeezebox Radio for up
to six hours, and it charges
when your Squeezebox
Radio is plugged in.

I only have a SB3 but  I know a couple people that own the Boom and love it.  Good sound quality for a boom box.

Can't beat the price

Thanks. I see that but the price looks right so maybe with a long extension cord...

Well it is not battery powered for starters.
