Well, indeed I develop realtime software in the automobile business for more than 11 years now and if I'd deliver software quality like this, I'd be either fired or in jail by now. So I figure a job at Logitech would be kinda relaxing compared to the quality standards I'm used to. Unfortunately, I

Honestly I think the complete software design is broken to the core. They seem to try to fix this by adding patches and workarounds instead of fixing the underlying issues. Maybe they are not able to find them or simply know too little about real time systems and robustness, maybe they figured the

I've not had the time to sit down and test what's going on but the alarm is still naff and I reckon radio streams stop on their own accord now. Such a shame it's a great product but the alarm does not work reliably. Tom -- TurnipMan -

I don't know if it's unique to my situation, but with 9009, I've also walked by the radio in the middle of the day and found the "Connecting to MySqueezebox.com" screen displaying, sometimes over and over. And when this "loop" starts, I have no recourse but to reboot the radio, and then it's fine

Ok, 4th day, same old problems. Correct stream started, stopped after 5 seconds, then the backup alarm faded in (although the internet connection was ok all the time), then I started the stream manually via preset button, but it stopped after a few minutes and then only silence. -> maybe a little

Yeah, ok, the alarm worked three times in a row now, so it seems to be back on a way to be trusted again. However, not one of these 3 alarms was completely flawless. All of them started, stopped and started again (including the fade in). That is better than the behavior it showed before, but it is
