Thanks for your help. It's good to know the red exists - it seems to be the one I want! I hope there's some information about this on the UK site soon. I fear a $40 battery will translate to £40 though - as it does for most of the accessories available over here. The fact that the UK site mentions bathroom operation encourages me slightly. However the lack of anything about the battery or red colour, and the mentions of Rhapsody and Pandora (which we can't use) and a "color" display, make me fear that the site hasn't been properly localised and is just a slightly modified copy and paste from the US site. Despite registering my interest as soon as the Radio and Touch appeared on the site, I've had no information apart from a confirmation email. Hopefully things will improve after tomorrow when they expect to get their new email system working!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio using SlimCenter 7.3.3?
Some results of my investigation of playing radiostations (I'm testing with radio-stations from World->Europe->Germany->Berlin): RadioStreams with mp3-format play well on Radio connected to 7.3.3 server (Star FM, http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s8041&partnerId=16) RadioStreams with Windows-Media format don't play on radio connected to 7.3.3 server (RBB Radio Eins, http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s25111&partnerId=16) Radio can play both streams when connected directly to MySqueezebox.com . I tried the same with my 7.3.3-Controller connected to 7.3.3 server. When the Controller is selected as Player (thus Jive) I get the same behaviour (mp3-streams playing, Windows Media not). When the receiver is selected as Player it can play both streams. So I assume that a 7.4 server does something to the Windows Media Stream, that Jive (Radio or 7.4-Controller) can play them. Maybe the receiver has some built-in decoder to play those streams even with a 7.3 server ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] bass and treble adjustments?
Even though the Radio sound might be well-balanced, I find speech quite often sounding annoyingly 'boomy'. The SB Radio is less so than the otherwise excellent Wi-Fi radio 'Airstream 10' by loudspeaker producer Monitor Audio, which I therefore returned.

I've found that SB Radio is sensitive to quarter space placement (like many other devices). "Quarter space" of course being techspeak for "in a corner". Try moving the radio around a bit, and also, see if your head is in a quarter space when you notice this (i.e. bed up against a wall and your head rests in the corner) I generally have mine placed about 2 feet in front of a wall.

With all the EU and California and other worldwide regulations, you won't see many/any new products with linear power supplies -- virtually everything will use switching power supplies from now on. Most of those are wide range input, but definitely not all. So far, our products (the Squeezeboxes) always use wide range input voltage. Generally from 100V to 230 or 240 V. This was not true of the old Squeezebox Classic supply, but has been true of all products in the last 3 years or so. -Caleb -- ccrome2 Caleb Crome Sr. Hardware Engineer Logitech SMBU (i.e. the Squeezebox people) The future is here.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Would like one, but...
I'm not sure where to put it. I'm using a Boom at the bedside and it looks and sounds great. I'm using a Boom in my office with a subwoofer. Similarly it looks and sounds great. I'm using a Duet in the living room and that works well of course with the sound system. I guess I could get one for the guest bedroom but it would hardly be used. I'm also hesitant because version 7.4 of the software seems to be causing some minor problems on a new, dedicated server computer. I'm aware that the problems will likely be fixed in later releases. However, my desire for new tech is driving me hard to get a radio. Likely I'll replace the receiver component of the Duet in the LR with a Touch when it comes out anyway. -- jimzak http://zzzone.net http://have-a-nice-day.org http://www.last.fm/user/zzzoneDOTnet jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69619 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

[SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm Issues
Hi All, I've had my new Radio for a few days now, and I really, really like it as a bedside streaming device. However one of the main pieces of functionality I purchased the radio for was for it's alarm clock functionality, which I feel is very complicated and lacking in functionality. I've found a few bugs that have already been reported, and have added one or two of my own. If these are issues that you care about, please look at and vote, or comment on these bugs. Here are the issues that are bugging me the most. 1-Next set alarm time doesn't display on the clock. I can see that an alarm is set, but have to go a couple of menu levels deep to actually see what time the alarm is set for. This is reported as Bug 14708, and you can vote or comment on this bug at: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14708 2-I don't use snooze. When my alarm fires, I press the power button to stop the alarm. However, this leaves the alarm menu showing the next time I power the radio on, and in some cases will continue to play the alarm sound. This is reported as Bug 14702 and you can vote or comment on this bug at: https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14702 3-It should be easy to get to the alarm menu. The alarm button on the front panel is handy, but it doesn't function unless you power on the radio first. I entered Bug 14715 requesting that the alarm button functions regardless of the power on state. The preset buttons do this, so I believe it should be possible. You can vote or comment on this bug at https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14715 4-I'd like to be able to label alarms instead of having them just called Alarm 1, Alarm 2, etc. I entered an enhancement request as Bug 14716 requesting this functionality. You can vote or comment on this bug at https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14716 I'm sure there is stuff I missed, but if these things were in place, I think the Radio's alarm functionality would be a lot better.

It's really unlikely that the products will be unbundled, except as replacement parts: https://secure.slimdevices.com/categories.php?category=Accessories That said, the cost of the battery is so much more than the remote that selling them separately probably wouldn't save you much money (if any) at all.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] ETA on battery for Radio?
Dean, care to provide any info on the battery pack? I mean technical info, not marketing info. What are all the wires for? Pin assignments? Is there a thermistor wired onto the pack? It would have been so much more convenient for non-idiots to have had the ability to just insert 10 NiMH AA cells. Of course you'd get the brainiacs burning out the units by inserting alkalines or other non-compatible chemistries. :) US$50 is still way too steep (IMO) for a 10 cell pack. Logitech is taking a play from DeWalt here it seems. ;) At $200 I'd really expect the Radio to come with the pack and remote bundled. Especially if Logitech's manufacturing margins have been streamlined and proportioned in a similar fashion to their Harmony unit (inside info from some employee on that front). That said, I still think the Radio is a good value at $200 and I'm in for at least one to add to my existing setup. Though likely two, as I think one would go very well in our daughter's nursery. And yeah, if Logitech is paying more than $2 for that remote, they're overpaying. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69600 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

"Alarm 1" and "Alarm 2", etc. are really nothing more than place holder names with no descriptive identity. You should be able to label one as weekday, another as weekend, or one as husband the other as wife, etc. -- eap eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69630 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wi-Fi connection details
If you want to secure your network you should learn a bit about wireless security. Crazy SSID or non-broadcast ID do absolutely nothing to secure your network. Nothing. Any idiot with a a tool to break your encryption will also be able to find your network whether or not it has an SSID. Also, the characters valid for your passphrase has nothing to do with the characters allowed for an SSID. A number of products don't properly support WPA nor WPA2. The most popular product I can think of is called Windows. XP doesn't (generally) support WPA nor WPA2. Well, if you call a pass phrase of *exactly* 13 characters "support" - that's not to spec. WPA2 with AES is the only thing you need to set up and then pick yourself a decent pass phrase. WEP can be broken faster than you can type a new pass phrase and WPA with TKIP can be figured out pretty quickly according to reports (never done that one myself). -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69500 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

If its a new gadget Jones'ing that is drawing you to SB Radio, those are really poor excuses! The beauty of SB Radio is that it can go just about anywhere (other then in a current stereo system).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio use as bedside radio/alarm
I'm glad this has been asked and appears to have been addressed. I am also a sleeper who is extremely sensitive to lights in my room, to the point that I've had to put tape over the lights on many things such as the base to my Harmony remote that is in the bedroom. One of the questions that I have though is regarding the white numbers on black background. Are there plans to provide other colors for the alarm display? I've observed that blue is one of the hardest to sleep with colors and red is one of the easiest to sleep with.

But I agree that some of us are very sensitive to light for sleeping. And for me as well, blue is really bad. I know from sailboat racing that most of their instruments use red lighting so as to not destroy your "night vision" ability. Our eyes seem to tolerate a fair amount of red light in ways that blue or white just can't do.

Good question. I don't think we've really thought about it. I'll forward this question on to the UI designers to see how hard it is to change text color. I imagine it's quite simple. It could probably either be a built-in clock, or a plugin. -Caleb -- ccrome2 Caleb Crome Sr. Hardware Engineer Logitech SMBU (i.e. the Squeezebox people) The future is here.
