Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] For those of you thinking about returning your Radio ...
Well, first let me say that I love my SqueezeBox 3 (now Classic). I look upon it as the single best investment I ever made regarding hifi and geek devices I bought in my lifetime. I'm so happy with it that I told all of my friends, colleagues and family about it and several of them now consider buying the Touch. The outstanding functionality and software support over the years for the SB3 was the main reason for me to buy the radio although I was completely aware at this point that the software was a little buggy. This is also the main reason that I didn't return it: I'm pretty much convinced that the guys at Logitech will fix the software issues. Then again, the software problems are much more serious than I originally assumed. There are several issues which affect the core functionality as an alarm clock. While they don't make the Radio unusable for that purpose, they are more than annoying and could easily scare customers away. I'm not even sure if I would call the current software a legitimate beta software. It's more like an alpha version where some features work, some work sometimes, some don't work at all. While I understand that it was a marketing decision to release the Radio in this immature state, it was really a bad decision that could hurt the reputation of the Squeezebox product family and also the sales of the upcoming Touch. At least I can't seriously encourage anybody I know to buy the Touch when it comes out and I'll have to look for a different Xmas present for my sis. Considering the much more complex software of the Touch, it's at least very probable that it will be plagued by even more problems. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69719 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Waking up with Last.fm - no alarm menu
Ok, slightly different behavior this morning: The Radio started playing Last.fm at the correct time but still displayed the clock screen saver (again no snooze/off dialog). Pushing back/left brought me back to the main menu, which was responsive, but neither by pressing left/back not by pressing Home, I could get to the snooze/off menu. When manually choosing Last.fm the Radio obviously connected to Mysqueezebox.com and then displayed the snooze/off menu. So obviously this issue is caused by the Radio losing it's connection to Mysqueezebox.com and not being able to reconnect because of some bug. At least it's not a problem of the internet connection or network as the Radio is streaming music correctly. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio battery on Logitech UK... kinda
I've just spent the most irritating 15 minutes on the phone with someone in Logitech's ecommerce team regarding the issues attempting to pre-order via the website. For some reason the first half of the call was spent convincing him that the Squeezebox radio actually accepts a battery. He then asked me if my existing battery was faulty! Er, no, it doesn't come with one. Idiot. In the end I had to walk HIM through the website as he couldn't grasp the fact that I was trying to order and it was generating an error. After all of that, he confirms that there are issues with the website and promises updates via email. Yeah, I'll hold my breath for that. On the assumption that Logitech has outsourced their ecommerce site, they seriously need to slap around the idiots that are running it. -- twynne 2 x Booms, 2 x SB3, 1 x Duet, 1 x SB Radio twynne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70002 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
