Slim Devices Rocks the World With Squeezebox2

Market Wire, March, 2005

Slim Devices, Inc. today introduced Squeezebox2, the next generation of its award-winning Squeezebox music player and a major step forward for the network audio category. Squeezebox2 was designed to bring out the full potential that digital music files have to offer. The player is available for purchase from Slim Devices' web site (www.slimdevices.com).

"We're breaking new ground here," Said Sean Adams, CEO and founder of Slim Devices. "Not only have we redesigned the hardware from the ground up, but we're also introducing a major update to SlimServer, the amazing open-source software package that powers our products."

Benefits of Squeezebox2 and the supporting technologies:

--  Superior sound quality -- Squeezebox2 features Burr-Brown(TM) digital-
    to-analog converter, legendary for their pure sound and low THD levels.
    Optical and coaxial S/PDIF outputs are also provided, powered by ultra-
    precise crystal clock oscillators, a large audio buffer, and full support
    for PCM and FLAC lossless audio compression.

--  Locate players far and wide -- With external and internal antennas for
    extended range and built-in support for true 802.11g, Squeezebox2 can be
    located up to three times further from an access point than competing
    products.

--  Animate your music -- Squeezebox2 displays visualizers that move to
    the beat of the music.  Now with more than twice the resolution, the larger
    320x32 vacuum fluorescent display makes it easier to see your music as a
    well as hear it.

--  New Colors -- Squeezebox2 comes in two colors, Basic Black and Triple
    Platinum to complement any stereo or bedside table.

--  Bridging -- Squeezebox2 doubles as a wireless bridge, extending
    Internet connectivity to any room in the home. Products such as
    Playstation(TM), XBOX(TM), Tivo(TM), VOIP phones, and home theatre PCs can
    now be easily connected to a home network without running ethernet cabling.

--  Find Songs Faster -- Easily search 100,000 song libraries in seconds
    to find the perfect song for the perfect moment.

    decompression in firmware on a powerful 32-bit, 8-way multithreaded
    processor. Squeezebox2, together with SlimServer 6, supports all the most
    popular audio formats, including WMA, AAC, MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF,
    WAV, Ogg Vorbis, and more.

    "always-on" access to your favorite Internet radio streams from award-
    winning providers such as Live365(TM), SHOUTcast(TM), and radioio(TM).

    based on the audio characteristics of any song using built-in support for
    MusicMagic(TM) and Moodlogic(TM).  Automatically import existing playlists
