I was running Radio (7.4.0/R7790) and Server (7.4.0/R28672) which was operating *generally* reliably until I set my XP server to sleep to save power (and $$). I don't use the mysqueezebox.com. 7.4.0 on the Radio did not wake up the server reliably when my alarm was set. Determined 7.4.0 Radio firmware did not support Wake on LAN (WOL, Magic Packet) capability, so I moved to 7.5.1.
Not only did 7.5.1 immediately fix the WOL issue, the screens and menus on the radio are much more responsive, and the (new?) expanded artwork resolution option (default) helps a lot. It also seems that synchronization is more consistent (did not check to see if Logitech messed with this since 7.4.1). Good job all! The WOL feature sends a wake packet to the server five minutes before an alarm; I set the Server to sleep after ten minutes of inactivity. As is usually the case with WOL, the server kept waking up from misc. packet activity until I configured the NIC to only wake on Magic Packet. But I now have to use a small WOL application on my laptop (from www.depicus.com) to use the Web interface; but that is OK.
