I'm surprised that some of you do not know how the zune system works. The issue I am concerned about is not purchasing individual songs for $0.99 or whatever. It is the music SUBSCRIPTION service that I need. I pay $14.99 per month and can download or stream (I prefer to download the tracks), and

Just FYI for anyone who uses a Radio with SB Server: I downgraded to 7.4.2, re-enabled sync with mysqueezebox.com and everything works great. It's shocking how great the Radio is and how terrible the alarm functionality is. It makes me think there's a fundamental design flaw here in what

[SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio in the bathroom

Has anyone tried using a Squeezebox Radio as a bathroom radio. I am thinking of putting it on the shelf (an extension of the vanity) on the other side of my 6x7-foot bathroom from the bathtub. I am wondering if the humidity when I take a shower is going to be too much for it. I have friends

I'm sure I've read of others using it in the bathroom just fine before. The designers would never give an official recommendation because it wasn't designed -specifically- for that use and only basic environmental testing was carried out (if any). However, I think some unofficial comments have

Thanks for sharing your experience/viewpoint. I don't own a radio. I have had thoughts of buying one/two but these ongoing problems have scared me off. My classic and boom are rock solid...rarely a problem. The boom is our clock and alarm and it has never missed. Consumers should be able to
