Thanks Andy. It doesn't sound like we will have ShoutCast in the near future (if at all) but we appreciate you keeping the lines of communication open with them. For those that want to email ShoutCast as a listener that misses ShoutCast on their SqueezeBox player go to http://www.shoutcast.com/, then click Send Feedback.

I am not familiar with any of these so I do not know how they compare to ShoutCast. What I really liked about ShoutCast on a SqueezeBox were four main things: 1. Large selection of stations 2.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Questions Regarding Alarm
Sadly must agree with the consensus here - but the stupidity of it it makes me weep. The radio is so clearly marketed as a bedside radio/alarm and it could have had mass market appeal - had it not failed so abysmally at this one basic function. I know it's an awesome network music player, and I'd love to recommend it to friends family - but for the the alarm's failings. WHY, LOGITECH, WHY ? How much effort could it really take ? The irony is that the alarm is 99% reliable for me, thanks mainly to a local SBS server (ReadyNas) and Erland's custom plugins. But I'm now too terrified of updating the SBS software (currently 1.5.0) for fear of de-stabalising the alarm. -- squishy squishy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35390 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83998 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Questions Regarding Alarm
Actually, I bought a Radio so it can sit on my desk at work and play music, rather than for an alarm clock. I didn't want the larger size of the Boom, and I'm not playing it real loud, so Stereo isn't an issue. Plus I like to see the album art as well, and the weather screensaver (add-on applet) when not playing music is also nice. I have a Boom at home in my bedroom, and it works great as an alarm clock on my local SB Server. However, if it comforts anyone here, when using MySB on my Boom, the alarm is definitely less reliable (I don't think it's quite as bad as some here are having with the Radio, but I've certainly had my issues with it). -- virgiliomi virgiliomi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33715 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83998 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Questions Regarding Alarm
I belong to those that - with the help of a local server - has 99,5% reliable alarms. I'm waking up every day for work to a radio stream I configured. Only in 1% of cases I hear the fallback alarm. As I'm one of those who has deep insights into the alarm code I also trust it's fallback mechanism a lot. I think not waking up to some sound is not an issue - it's rather waking up to the wrong sound (i.e. the fallback alarm) that is annoying people. The Radio is very strict in starting the fallback alarm - tiny network glitches or problems with the alarm streams (this includes the 'inbuilt' sounds, that are streamed from MySB.com) cause the fallback to sound. Here are the most important things for a working reliable alarm: - use a local server - it will trigger the alarm reliable at the right time (except on days when daylight saving times change and your server is not configured correct). Using MySB.com introduces unreliableness for the alarm trigger - don't have your server do heavy stuff (like backups) at alarm time - don't use 'inbuilt' sounds. These are streamed from MySB.com, which might not be considered reliable for streaming the sounds (Just think of how many people have their alarm scheduled at even hours - and all those users start to stream the same file at the same time). Download the file if needed and install it as local mp3. - don't use BBC streams. In another thread we realized, that these change their streaming URLs at certain times every day. This leads to a dropout of audio for about two seconds = and the fallback alarm will sound. If you alarm is around one of those times you will hear the fallback every day. - always (!) configure your alarm via the Radio. Don't use the WebUI or the iPhone or iPad-Apps. Only configuring the alarm directly on the Radio ensures, that it has a proper connection to the server and knows the alarm time to properly setup the fallback alarm. If the alarm is only configured on the server, you will never know if it was synchronized to the Radio at least once. This seems like a long list - but all points are very easy to follow (except setting up a local server - but the original poster wanted to do that anyway). There are even other workarounds available on this forum if things are still not working (like installing your own fallback mp3 directly on the Radio if you don't like the inbuilt sound or changing the volume of the fallback alarm). So while the alarm might not be easy to make reliable without the background knowledge - people with a local server definitely should not fear the alarm feature. Also there are at lot of people willing to help in this forum. Oh - and what did I have to read about iPhones? They didn't sound their alarms from 1st to 3rd January for many users?
