Agreed. There should be NO menu shown when the alarm fires. Most alarm clocks just have the alarm go off. You either keep it playing by doing nothing, or you turn it off entirely. When the alarm goes off, you should see the time for perhaps a configurable amount of seconds (say 5 seconds), then it automatically should go to the now playing screen. -- eap ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69446 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
