I queried the cause of the full-volume repeating sound in November. 20 seconds of it is ATTACHED to drive you mad: just let it happen beside you, asleep! Is this the 'backup alarm' that 0xdeadbeef writes about? How can one stop it or replace it with something calmer? It seems to come on at full volume (not just to me) - for 10-60 seconds before alarm (BBC Radio 4) fades in via SMS - non-stop from onset of alarm some days when set for France Inter via MSB - suddenly, within 60 min alarm period, coinciding with a router failure (is the radio or router the culprit?) This mix suggests that the radio firmware kicks this in whenever there is a problem during the alarm period (but not at other times) Logitech support have not met this behaviour, it seems If I have to live with it, how can I change the awful sound? Any help much appreciated Peter +---+ |Filename: jinglejangles2.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9412| +---+ -- peter.s peter.s's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75541 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Battery is shipping!

Arrived 11/00 today, 2 March. So Thursday to Tuesday, shipped from Luxembourg. Clear heavy plastic packaging with a neat opening: not the usual struggle with a Stanley knife. Comments. It's a squeeze to fit in (what do you expect given the brand?), indeed impossible until I realised that two copies of the sticky label had been attached on top of each other. And the battery cable needs a half-turn twist...

Each morning the radio is set to come on at the same time. In the past I was normally swamped by very loud repetitive music, but if lucky, BBC Radio came through. And then, increasingly frequently, it would cut out after 3-10 minutes. By then my PC's (wired) ADSL connection was dead. External connectivity could only be restored by resetting the router. Today, post-upgrade, a minor difference. The BBC came on OK straight away, and then got pushed out by the loud repetitive music after 3 minutes! No Internet, but LAN still functioning. So I reset router and went back to bed. Could this be caused by the Squeezebox? I've been blaming my ISP! (Belkin N wireless/modem/router, 2 months old. Windows 7) Peter -- peter.s peter.s's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75667 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Good Christmas gift for Mom?
Kphinney asks "I was asking if others experienced the problem. You made your case well known, but no one else seems to be making a fuss. Please, anyone else have Onlybeef's issue of dropping and having to reset "daily" as he does?" I live in the UK. And my alarm will not bring up a radio station (though it'll pick up My Music). If I set an alarm during the day, that will work. It just gets up to mischief once I am asleep, and that makes the cause difficult to diagnose. Just now its Diagnostics say DNS not found and cannot ping - but it was working before I went to sleep. Infuriating. Yet another reset to do...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Internet Radio: stations & categories
Thanks, Toby But my question was meant to be more general: how does Squeezebox manage / update / maintain the directory of radio stations? I assume it is fed at present from one central server with 'manual' input. I think the radio is a fascinating implementation of networking techniques for a very consumer-oriented product - but its success depends on delivering up-to-date information content consistently.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Internet Radio: stations & categories
How do these get extended and improved? They are incomplete - e.g. only 3 stations are listed in National Networks for the UK. And poorly organised - e.g. lists are not sorted alphabetically. Even the names of stations/channels don't match their 'real' names. Almost all the talk on this forum is from technical enthusiasts, but you must get this right to become a consumer product...
