How often does your home network go down? For me it happens about as
often as a power failure (usually caused by a power failure), and then
no alarm clock that I have now works.

longer on the boom.
The other older players can not be improved on, it's only the boom (of
the old players ) that have an on board real time clock and can function
without any server at all,
making it better than an SB3 in

Why think of these products as anything other than great network music

Like I said earlier, in about a year of ownership this has only affected
me once, when my server crashed, but this is really pure luck. The
problem is there is no fallback in the current alarm settings.

Right. This is the question that needs to be answered. Is it too quiet?
Not obnoxious enough? Does it need to play for longer (if so, how long)?

The alarm code has not been touched since before the Boom was released
despite having several outstanding bugs against it. My Boom and SB3
alarms have failed recently for three reasons:
1) The alarm code does not handle the new BBC iPlayer playlists
2) There is a bug in the way it lists
The Squeezebox Radio does not have a special purpose RTC chip, it has a
low power general purpose microcontroller with an accurate crystal. It
also has, like Boom, a backup super-capacitor, which can power that
microcontroller for up to 24 hours when the power goes out to keep time.

Mine is on for 5 minutes before I emerge. At least.
What's wrong with playing the tone until the user presses stop or off ?
Why should the interaction be any different from the normal
I'm not a tester, but according to another thread the alarm clock
functionality in the radio is the same as the boom. If you have trouble
with the boom you'll have trouble with the radio.
I hope Logitech will get their stuff together and fix the functionality
of these multi-hundred dollar alarm

Good to hear!
I wish the same was true for the Boom, which is not so reliable because
it most of the time works, but not always. And with this invention of

month because the Boom failed to wake me up...

I just wanted to pipe up quickly...although (especially with the battery
pack and WiFi)the SB Radio is a super music player due to its
portability, great sonics, killer interface, etc...I am mostly using
mine as my alarm clock/bedside radio.
I have gone through a dozen such devices in the last
16 matches
