The problem comes if you want to do anything else other than stop/snooze. Eg, Get song details to see who is performing on the song, look at weather forecast, check the news via Info Browser, etc.
If you touch the knob, it stops the music. That may be unexpected, because you've forgotten that the music started via an alarm. I use an alarm for waking up in the morning. But I also use alarms elsewhere in the house, eg. so LBC News is playing in the kitchen, when I finally make it downstairs. i.e. to schedule music to start at a certain time; no need for snooze in this instance. It's a pity that the Radio doesn't have a dedicated Snooze button like the Boom. Very strange when you think that this is designed as an alarm clock. As a result, hacking functionality like that into navigation buttons and popup menus, etc, is always going to make things awkward. Not everyone is going to be happy with whatever the final outcome is, if alarms are not adequately supported through configuration. bluegaspode;502499 Wrote: > The problem with showing the 'Now Playing'-screen is, that it doesn't > show the current time big enough - so having the alarm popup with a > bigger time for me is more important than the 'Now playing'-screen. On my SB3 (bedroom - used as an alarm clock), I use the MusicInfoSCR plugin to configure the screen display to show Now Playing information AND the current time (which is adequately big enough). There is another plugin that can toggle the display to show date/time and then song info. The MusicInfoSCR plugin for SB3 also has a screensaver display setting whilst in Alarm mode. i.e. you could configure it to only show the time, and then when out of alarm mode, show NP. Radio/Touch doesn't have an alarm screensaver mode; it would help a lot if there were such a mode - there could be a screensaver mode to show an alarm menu (like it currently does), or show NP info, or show the time, or blank. -- Philip Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
