I've been in the market for a long time for a new alarm clock. The radio stations I tend to listen to are moving more towards the Internet rather than direct broadcast.
I'd like to buy a Squeezebox Radio, but it just seems fundamentally broken/flawed for what I want. In order of feature importance: I want a reliable alarm clock first and foremost. I'd be happy to have one that plays BBC World Service via Internet (without use of a server on a PC). If the Internet is down I'd like it to stream some other noise or as a last resort buzz loudly to wake me up. Then I'd like one with a really big snooze button and auto-dimming display. Then reasonable sound quality. The rest I don't find that important: not even the 7 day alarm. I'd be prepared to pay decent money for this product (e.g. price of the Squeezebox Radio) Why don't there seem to be any products anywhere that do these simple things reliably? I've been looking for ages, and every single review comes back with the same issues with poor reliability of the alarm function, or no snooze button, or no Internet radio. I mean how difficult can it be? Is there any Squeezebox device out there or planned that can do this. -- Martin77 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin77's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86841 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
