Dad doesn't get any presets, unless there's a NASCAR I don't know of and it's close enough to the toaster to interfere with his breakfast PB&J on toast. This just keeps the two of them doing their own thing without interference. I think my mind is made up and for $150 it really can't be better. Over the last few years I bought them each iPods and I believe they are yet unused and possibly Li-battery-dead. -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.

I don't think so. If you remove 'local library' from the picture, and all that entails (tagging, tagging, more tagging, fixing tags, etc) it gets pretty simple for 'net radio' type things. MySB has a very nice selection of radio and radiolike (slacker, etc) type. > > OOH -- can I remotely configure and fix her SBRadio? I guess with portforwards on the router, you could ssh in...

[SlimDevices: Radio] Good Christmas gift for Mom?
Mom and Dad are only as technologically savvy as my ability to visit. They have no always-on computer, no MP3, FLAC, ALAC, or WAV files, and absolutely no FM radio reception (NNY). For my Dad's birthday Mom bought him a new Sony Bravia and BluRay combo which includes Slacker internet radio. I'm more familiar with Pandora, but was able to set Mom up with the two available classical music channels Slacker offers. The problems start when Mom wants classical and Dad wants HDTV. Can I set up a SB Radio for Mom in the kitchen using my laptop and walk away after Christmas expecting her to be able to use it for Pandora, Slacker, and SqueezeNetwork without too many tech support calls? They have an adequate ISP and g-wireless. (As a gauge of their computer acumen: Dad has a laptop and can read his news and email, but I'd never expect to get an email back from him. Mom has a netbook, doesn't read her email, tries to do her taxes on it, but cannot for the life of her figure out how to reinstall her printer and waits until I dirve the 440 miles to fix it. My own savvy include a full-time MacPro server with 9000+ ALAC files, iPeng on my iPhone, two SB3s and one Transporter.) Am I so comfortable with the SD/Logitech devices that I'm over estimating my Mom's ability? OOH -- can I remotely configure and fix her SBRadio? -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using the SB Radio as a replacement for the SB Receiver

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stream from the Squeezebox radio to the Squeezebox receiver
Hi Appeland Thanks very much for getting back to me. I don't actually have any Squeezebox products yet so am quite new to how all this works - so don't worry at all about correcting me! Am I right in thinking I can have an NAS drive attached to my router and then use a Squeezebox receiver connected to my HiFi to play the music stored on the network drive? How would I set an alarm on the receiver?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Stream from the Squeezebox radio to the Squeezebox receiver
Hello, the way you are asking is not possible, no. To correct you (sorry) - everything streams from the Squeezebox server. You can also set alarms for the receiver on it's own, no need to get the radio involved.
