With our notebooks often doubling as digital music jukeboxes, it’s easy to feel tethered to a system when we want to listen to our favorite tunes. Logitech looks to free us from our notebooks with the Squeezebox Duet Network Media Player, a receiver and controller (with a full-color LCD display) that lets you sing along to ditties from virtually anywhere in the house.

Simply hook up the receiver to a stereo system or home entertainment center and stream music from your Mac or PC through the magic of Wi-Fi. Additional Squeezebox Duet systems lets users listen to different songs in each room or synchronize the receivers to hear the same song throughout the house. Even better, Logitech’s SqueezeNetwork, Logitech’s always-on Internet radio and music aggregation service that pulls content from Pandora, MP3Tunes, and Rhapsody, lets Squeezebox Duet owners stream music even when their notebooks are off.

You can expect this dose of $399 freedom in late January.
