The Touch is a different story because it's constructed to also act as server, the hardware is overkill for the new simpler eco-system. A new UE Touch could propably use cheaper CPU, less RAM, no USB port etc., so it makes sense to launch a new UE Touch perhaps they can even spend a little extra cash and opt for capacitative display. My hope would bee that a new UE Touch (capacitative) could still run the current firmware (sans serverpart). This way it could still be used in the old eco-system. A stereo version radio (Boom replament) still makes sense.

So the radio knows how to keep track of time and alarm without SBS (or MSB) and it knows how to stream internet radio without SBS (or MSB). Logically, it should be possible to combine the two. I guess the problem is that for now it relies on the "original" server to tell it what to stream (URL stored on the server) and if this server is unavailable it will use the fall back sound. First option Couldn't it just switch to MSB automatically? is there any way to configure this? like "if SBS is unavailable for >5 min the switch" perhaps it's more complicated than this (usually is :-) ) Second option If the software was enhanced a bit the radio could store the URL for the internet stream localy (as it does with the alarm time) and use this information in case the server is unavailable.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm: shouldn't this scenario work?
If I leave my SBS PC running 24/7 my Alarm starts playing my selected internet radio station (favourite) in the morning just fine. But if I shut down the SBS pc in the evening (wake-on-lan is not supported) the alarm will play fall-back alarm-sound in the morning. Shouldn't it be possible for the Radio to play the internet radio station without SBS?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Syncronize issue
I'm not sure sync of internet radio is supported. But playing FLAC should work. Try to play some MP3 files in sync, they require less throughput on your wireless network than FLAC. If they work then your wireless network might have some problems, perhaps interferrence or range.

Streaming music (or video) reveals wireless issues that otherwise would go unnoticed. I can play WMA Lossless on 4 SB's in perfect sync on my old 802.11g router, and my server is also wireless (laptop). So don't blame it on SB hardware.
