Logitech Smart Radio is semicatchy :p.  Hopefully for $179, msrp it will
include battery, but it really needs to be no more than $120 or so.

I am probably not adding much to the table, but my wifi radio connected
to SBS via wifi  and the internet via cable modem, never has the
fallback alarm 
activate.  I wonder if it could be a router issue I am running a
Linksys160N with DDWRT.

Glad it works for you!  Sometimes Mediafly will autodelete the podcast
it plays, but in anycase you dont have to delete older versions as they
will just roll off in time.

Mediafly is also nice if you have an android and/or iphone as you can
get an app for them and have your podcasts wherever you are.

Another thing you could try is to install the app MediaFly and use it

have to put these credentials into SBS if you are running the server or
MySB.com if not. That is how I do it.

It also won't do alarms very well.  But as an aside you can get an

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] batteries out of stock ...

2010-04-07 Thread vw195

On the logitech blog the following was stated on March 17.  I was
wondering if anyone in the know still believes this to be the case, or
will the silence remain deafening and customers remain uninformed?

Matt Cuson | March 17th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
To our customers in the U.S. who have placed orders for the Squeezebox
Radio battery pack:

As you are aware by now, we did not have enough of the battery packs
available for everyone who wanted to purchase one. If you have placed
an order at Logitech.com, your battery pack will ship on April 12. We
have updated Logitech.com to reflect this date and we changed the “Buy
Now” button to “Preorder Now.”

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you – I wanted to make
sure that I had a solid update before I posted a response. Thank you
for your patience.

Best,
Matt

Obviously the logi in logitech doesn't stand for logistics.  There is a
surplus of batteries in Europe, yet we can't get any in the states. Not
only is this bizarre, this is by far the worst service I have ever had
for any consumer electronics I have (not) purchased.

Heh well a battery pack shipped from the EU (or UK) would cost as much
as the radio with the current exchange rate.  Therefore, I am simply
going to whine. :)

Erland I do understand your sentiment however as the US seems to get
the new releases first in most cases.  Nonetheless I ordered the battery
pack in the US when it was in stock.  Evidently they had 6 or so in the
US  This is not a release date issue imo.

Yes, but slim devices is based in Mountain View, CA :) 

Nonetheless, This battery fiasco is ridiculous.  They had plenty of
time to build up stock while batteries were sitting in the warehouse,
but then mere moments after the release of batteries, the batteries were
sold out.  Now batteries are for sale everywhere except the US where
they are expected in April.

I am getting only ~30% of my desired functionality of my radio due to
the lack of a battery (Which has been delayed 4+ months now)  I love the
radio bugs and all but this is starting to irk me.

It seems my hardware presets only work now if I manually connect to

It has a few UI issues and bugs software wise that need to be addressed,
but I replaced a reciva based internet radio with this one and its
already much more irreplacable and less buggy than the reciva one was. 
It will probably cause me to get a boom if I find an excellent price for

Thanks for the information.  I didn't realize the alarm was available on
mysb although it does make sense. What doesnt make sense is that the
alarm volume level goes from 0-100 but on the website it goes 1-11
(Although I like the idea that you can turn it one louder than ten :))

[SlimDevices: Radio] Possible bug in Alarm

2009-10-13 Thread vw195

I've had an issue where the volume on set on an alarm does not ever
change despite the fact that I modify the global volume.  I need to do
more testing to confirm that this bug, but I had the alarm set initially
too low and have constantly increased the volume on the slider to what
should be a noticable 50 with no change in alarm volume.  Incidently I
used the rooster :p

I am wondering if the alarm volume should be adjustable, because it
simply does not appear to change for me

Currently I am wireless, and SSH is bulleted.  It never does ask me for
a login.  It simply says Connection refused.

Try this: Goto Settings> Advance> Remote Login and click the enable
box. Now leave the Radio at that point without making any other changes.
Now use Putty to attempt a login. I know this shouldn't matter, but when
I have trouble logging in, this always works for me.

The logitech site has red ones in stock if you are interested. Just the

still showing preorder.  Amazon was supposed to get them launch day so I

I can't speak for others but the thing that frustrates me is that
Amazon always releases first day, and I just don't understand why they
still say pre-order.  Bestbuy doesn't have them in their system either,
so I am at a loss where they all are.  Oh well, hopefully in a few days
I will have one.

Actually according to this thread
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68123&page=4 Amazon
should get it today or tomorrow. 

Technically the way it should work is that the unit should be available
on its release date everywhere. 

I would have ordered from logitech except Amazon had free shipping so I
opted for that.

Hope you are correct as far as Amazon goes.  I upped the shipping to
next day, so if Amazon gets on the ball in the next few hours I could
have it by tomorrow !!! (need to work on my patience)

Yes it would be good to get some information from the logitech guys,
but they are all strangely silent.

If the radio is going to be launched on 9/28, it seems to me there
should probably be a release build of 7.4 SC.  If there is, I will go
ahead and install it, ie be prepared.  Thanks for any feedback

[SlimDevices: Radio] Ad Hoc radio through phone

2009-09-21 Thread vw195

After I get my radio, I will probably want to take it into the office to
show people.  Unfortunately no WiFi is allowed at work so I want to use
my Windows Mobile phone with WiFi router software, which operates via
adhoc.  I know other squeezebox devices can use adhoc, but just want to
know that this should work with the radio.

TIA

How do you get those screenshots after you take them? Can you SSH into

On the Logitech preorder site it would ship on Sept. 28th. That site is
currently down however :p

Wow that is fantastic that the battery lasts that long.

What size is the battery??

Does it add a lot of weight to the radio?

I think if you contact them after it comes back they will honor the
earlier price since you have documentation.

I am getting a little worried that the estimated ship date of Sep. 30th
may drop since Amazon still has not issued a preorder date. Do any of
the beta testers think the software/hardware will be ready for primetime
by the 30th?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Where is the broadcast FM?

peterw;457713 Wrote:

Attached is an interesting link that states:
You can estimate the approximate Audio information [1] content of FM by
using the bandwidth and dynamic range. FM pretty much tops out at about
15K and the dynamic range is about 70db. Each bit represents approx 6db
so we need just under 12 bits and a sampling rate of 30K.

Thus = 12 x 30,000 x 2 (2 channels) = 720Kbps (CD is 1411kbps) that is
uncompressed

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f133/radio-bitrates-366117/ 

Seems to me that FM would need at least 128kbps with MP3 to achieve an
equivalent.  Why limit oneself streaming when a higher quality can be
achieved (if not for bandwidth constraints)

I just preordered at the $199 price and hope it will drop down to $179

I hope its available in less than a month. I'm missing my bedside
