Thanks to those providing firmware links and assistance in this forum. 
I upgraded my squeezebox to smart radio, and then reverted back to
squeezebox due to problems:

*  Galaxy SIII could not find the radio on WiFi or with pin.  The smart
radio did associate with my uesmartradio.com account.

*  Deal breaker = the smart radio does not allow a custom or manual URL
for a streaming station.  I sub to Acoustic Alternative streaming and
must be able to enter an IP:port to listen.  uesmartradio.com has no
user controlled favorites as does mysqueezebox.com  

*  UE smart radio does not show album art for current playing song. 
Squeezebox radio does....i like seeing album art (same as songs in
Pandora).

*  UE smart radio screen has red ! icon over the battery icon, this does
not show on Squeezebox radio.

Is the firmware provided in this forum a early copy?  Possibly
buggy/lacking features?  Logitech should accept forum input and provide
"advanced" features by turning on a hidden "advanced" menu for those
that want it....a much better option than dumbing down your products and
loosing your existing technical users.  I have always liked Logitech
products, but am finding what I see with the UE smart radio troubling. 
Hopefully the "official" squeezebox > smart radio firmware update will
be something existing users will want to do! 

Rudy, and I support this message.
