Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Status of radio battery?
Couldn't agree more with the other posters here. I have now put my squeezebox radio back in its box as without the battery pack I can't use it in the place I purchased it for. I notice now that the battery pack has completely disappeared from the website which is not a good sign IMHO. I also don't want or need the remote, just the battery pack. kantblue -- kantblue kantblue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70815 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

[SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable
I am very unhappy with my new SB Radio. Why the alarm does not work every day? Sometimes I am awakened, sometimes not.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Status of radio battery?
Before the Radio was released, there was discussion about the Accessories Pack in the Beta forum. This may not still be the plan, but Logitech did intend having the two items as separate accessories eventually. Although I would guess they would only be available through Logitech and some specialist retailers, where as the Accessories Pack will most likely be available on shelves along wide the Radio itself. These things take time, especially at this time of year and when you are importing everything from China. There are only so many ships and containers sailing around the world to fulfil the western worlds desire for Christmas gifts and other paraphernalia. Production schedules will also be tight, there may be a complete shortage of AA cells from that supplier, there may be a very low production rate from the factory assembling them together into the pack and testing them until back logs are worked through. Only a few of the beta testers have batteries, I still have a beta hardware unit and probably won't get a retail version until the start of the year sometime. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70815 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio too loud
:) Yeah everytime something doesn't work as it should buy something else to integrate with it that will make it work! That would make a lot of companies happy!! :) Anyway what is more annoying with this is that you can't say don't sync volume if you have three devices. If you say on the radio don't sync volume then it wno't go up and down when the other two devices go up and down. But if you move the volume up and down on the radio the other two devices go up and down. Only other solution is no syncing of volume on any devices! which is not a solution for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Price drop on Squeezebox Radio - partial refunds for recent purchasers?
Isn't the point that YOU wanted it NOW so you ordered it when you did. If you ordered/bought it before the price went down at Best Buy or Amazon what is there to complain about? You bought it and got it when it cost what you paid for it. I understand buying it from Amazon and having the price go down the next day, but in that case, Amazon will refund the difference within 30 days just for cases like this. As far as Logitech goes, the price IS $199 so that is what is what. So if the price is $199 why would Logitech need to refund anything? There is no statement on the website that says they price match so nobody should be expecting that. Most manufactures that sell direct don't price match, why would they compete with their retail distribution chain. Either way its sold, they get the money. They get to keep more if they sell it for MSRP. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71524 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm and Sync?

I'm an iPeng user, although have never used the master power on/off button. It's a new feature since 1.2: The main power button acts on all devices of a synced group, as does the main volume bar. However that doesn't address what happens when an album plays in its entirety -- the players would all stay on. That's true. What _I_ do here (again: simple in iPeng on the players screen) is to shut off all players except the one in the bedroom and then set a sleep timer for the one in the bedroom. Thinking of it, you don't need the latter since the bedroom one will be the one to do the alarm anyway. And if you don't fall asleep to music you could just use that main power button to turn off all devices when you go to bed - this is what this feature is made for - OK, MY man use is tu turn them all off when I leave the house but that's similar, isn't it?
