I had a gander over at the support site. People *are* mentioning issues with the software, and the tone is similar to that here. Posts with titles such as Squeezebox Radio - Disastrous software for months ... and Squeezebox 7.5.1 Update--Same Old Problems would certainly give them a clue that there might be a problem. And, given these posts (and the moderator over there stating "Please be assured that your voice is being heard") would lead any decent product manager to have a gander over *here*, where he/she should *know* (or would certainly find out in short order) that there is a fairly active community largely dissatisfied with the Radio software design. It's time for Logitech to either properly fund/staff this product line or sell it back to a specialty audio manufacturer. The Radio could have infinitely more potential, and the developers could focus on things like music and programming features, if the fundamental client/server design were sound and silly things like an alarm clock simply "just worked". -mark -- mbonsack mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82092 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio Accessory Pack
Mickey,
Similar to your recent comments on availability of Receivers and
Touches, can you comment on this pack? On order for two weeks ("order
in process"), with no clear statement of availability anywhere in the

I just noticed this on my Radio running off SBS 7.4.2. How bad can this problem be with current hardware? Drifts of minutes per *day*? The crystal/whatever does the local timekeeping should be able to keep time within minutes per week *easily*; if there's a once/day sync with SBS this drift should be less than 10s for sure. -- mbonsack mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74483 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Firmware update hangs
Over the last few weeks there's been quite a few firmware upgrades with 7.4.2, which the Radio will indicate when powered on from a standby state. If I elect to update the firmware, it takes an extremely long time (30 min or so) to download, then gets stuck at 99% and hangs there forever. A full reboot by pulling the power is necessary; a long hold of the power button is not sufficient to clear this hang. After this forced reboot and subsequent power on, the same prompt for new firmware is presented and this time it proceeds normally (~1 min to download with automatic reboot).

[SlimDevices: Radio] Connection problems to Squeezebox Server
Every so often my radio gets into a state where the little blue wifi connectivity icon in the lower-right corner turns blue indicating that the Radio cannot connect to SBS. The weather screensaver applet itself works fine so I know overall connectivity is OK. The only way I can reconnect to SBS, despite multiple retries via the radio front panel, is to hard reset the device. Then it comes up OK every time. Anyone else seen this? I'm running the latest 7.4.2 but it seems to be independent of any particular SBS release. -- mbonsack mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74644 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

A flailing arm after being woken up has an equal chance of turning this knob in either direction. A misplaced right turn when the user intended a snooze could be a real bummer. The only way to use the big knob in the middle with a flying arm is to limit it's use to *one* function -- pick one, but only one. That goes for left/right turns or pushing it in. -- mbonsack mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

That way I could tap one of the presets with the radio off and be presented with my list of Pandora stations from which to choose without having to go through the tree.

I have to navigate to "My Apps --> Radiotime --> Local Radio" to get the configuration I set up on Radiotime. The SBS/MySB "local" entry off the Internet Radio menu tree still behaves just as if you visit the Radiotime site as an unregistered user -- in my case the Radiotime unregistered local list maps to Vista, CA -- and it has no FM stations. No big deal; just a different menu tree. It's clear that SBS/MySB menu picks are a direct link to those at radiotime; the search I mentioned above (for San Diego stations) is also available directly on the site.

I'm using the Radio and SB3, and the locals show AM only on both the players while connected to SBS or MySB. I'm in Carlsbad, CA and local internet radio returns my location as Vista, CA which is close enough. All of the AM stations listed are indeed local, with quite a few LA stations thrown in. Could it be that the algorithm used to determine what is local FM thinks that Vista is too far from San Diego to include those stations in the list? I'd even like to see some LA FM stations too just like it shows for the AM stations. -- mbonsack mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73398 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
