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 some years ago there is a core of community members who continue to develop the software.
As has been said, you will find that you need to leave LMS running to be able to access BBC Sounds. The plus side of using the BBC Sounds plugin is the ability to browse the schedules, listen to programmes that have already finished or pause/rewind live broadcasts. In addition to streaming radio, many of us play our own local files as well as streaming from Spotify (Spotty plugin), Qobuz & etc. Steve franklekens wrote: > I've had the Logitech Squeezebox alarm clock for a long time, but my > questions are definitely newbie level, I'm afraid.
