The easiest way to listen to pure digital music in every room

Mountain View, CA-November 18, 2003-Slim Devices, Inc. today announced the introduction of Squeezebox, a wireless networked MP3 player with built-in display that streams music from the user's computer to any stereo or home theater. It is available through Slim Devices' website, http://www.slimdevices.com/, and through authorized resellers for US$299.

With Squeezebox, Slim Devices introduces:

• 802.11 wireless and ethernet networking;
• high-quality digital outputs to connect to any home theater or stereo receiver, as well as standard RCA outputs;
• support for MP3 and uncompressed WAV and AIFF;
• 1/8" mini-jack for headphone or powered speakers; and
• compact design with soft-touch feel.

"Digital music enthusiasts want ubiquitous access to their content," said Patrick Cosson, vice-president of Sales and Marketing. "Squeezebox frees the digital music stored on a computer so it can be enjoyed throughout the home. To provide maximum flexibility, the player can be connected to any stereo, to any network, anywhere in a home."

Squeezebox, with its easy-to-read display and custom remote, is an elegant solution that takes advantage of the power and capacity of a user's existing computer. The player is small enough to fit in a stereo cabinet, on a shelf, or on a bedside table. Multiple players can play independently or be synchronized to provide an affordable whole-house audio solution.

Squeezebox is easy to set up-simply load the software onto a networked computer and connect the player to a wireless or ethernet network. Squeezebox automatically configures itself and is ready to use.

SlimServer, Open Source software created with a worldwide community of developers, powers the new Squeezebox player. Together, they support Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, and Solaris.

In 2001 Slim Devices introduced SLIMP3, the original MP3 network music player. SLIMP3 received numerous awards and rave reviews, including:

• MacWorld US gave it 5 mice. Editor-in-Chief/VP of Content Rick LePage said, "Thanks to SLIMP3, even my stereo has gotten MP3 savvy."
• Computeractive (UK's best-selling computer magazine) called it, "Stylish but unobtrusive...Extremely well thought-out."
• Mac News Network gave it 5 stars. "...SLIMP3 has quickly become my favorite gadget in the house."
