Nothing wrong with an Echo show Uses BBC Sounds, decent audio, and I
think alarms survive an Internet failure.

Welcome to the forum. You will find this is a very friendly site. Many
issues which individuals face have been seen by others and help is
usually quick at hand. Although Logitech ceased developing the software

I probably need the Controller too, then, given my general

I'll prob be asking other questions shortly when I can't get things set

You can either use the Net::UDAP tool (for PCs) to setup a Receiver, or

Yeah, I'll admit that I haven't listened to Pandora
interesting about ads. I've seen this mentioned before. I can listen to

Before spending a lot of money on buying one (or more) Squeezebox
receivers I thought I would give things a try using a software client
(SoftSqueeze). Of course, this doesn't exactly model the desired end

Thanks. If given enough time (I was running around doing too much

As for SHUFFLE. I did not have a playlist. I thought SHUFFLE would
shuffle through the subdirectory of songs on my PC. So now I know you
need to use Random Mix for that.
