All I have had Squeezebox Radio for a little over month and I have given up using it as a reliable alarm.
I run the SqueezeServer from a ReadyNAS Pro which is absolutely fine; the ReadyNAS Pro is powered down on an internal timer throughout the night and set to wake up 20mins or so before my usual alarm time. The disks are set to spindown after 10mins of inactivity. Despite explicitly setting an alarm tone, most of the time I get a default alarm time. I think this is because the Squeezebox is unable to wake the Readynas Pro and trigger the selected alarm. Reading the forum I have read many reports of the alarm being unreliable. HERE IS THE SUGGESTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM All you need to do is to allow the user to save short alarm tones within the Squeezebox Radio and select them when setting the alarm tine. This would mean that the Squeezebox Radio would not necessarily need a network connection to play your selected alarm. And for goodness sake, why isnt there a simple beep-beep-beep alarm tone ? I am really frustrated with the whole alarm aspect of it, other than that it is fantastic !
