Like I said earlier, in about a year of ownership this has only affected me once, when my server crashed, but this is really pure luck. The problem is there is no fallback in the current alarm settings.
In order for me to wake up to a streaming radio station, the boom has to be networked, Squeezecenter has to be running, the internet connection has to be working, and radio station has to be up. If any of the last 3 aren't working the alarm just doesn't go off. If the boom isn't networked it plays some sound for a minute and stops. All of which are unacceptable for a high end device like this marketed as an alarm clock. I can make a case the Boom is a great alarm clock. I have access to a tremendous amount of content. I can have it fade as I got to sleep. Powersave shuts down the device once the songs over, and AutoDim makes it go completely dark for most of the night. But this lack of redundancy in the alarms is a black mark on this and other Squeezebox products. The boom forums have been full of this complaint for a while now. Logitech should fix it or stop touting it in their marketing material. -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68252 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
