I'm very happy with my second SB3 as a 'clock radio' (actually a 'clock-flac-player'!). I have two decent speaker boxes (one each side of the bed) driven by a sony mini hi-fi system (sitting on one of the speakers), fed by the SB3 and its remote sitting next to the bed. I have the screensaver set to 'time' (and at a low brightness) so that at any time during the night I can see what time it is, even while music's playing. Don't worry about the fiddly SB3 menu system - set it up from SlimServer (just once), with whatever playlists you want for each specified day, and with your appropriate wake-up volume setting for each chosen day. I leave the Sony amp's volume up 'loud', and control via the SB3 remote. For example, falling asleep I use an SB3 volume of '20', and I have each of my (weekday only) alarms set for volume '60'. The SB3 has the required sleep function (with good choices of sleep times), so I can fall asleep to quiet music and be woken up by loud music (which fades-up from zero volume beautifully - full marks to the SlimServer programmers for that thoughtful touch!) Works a treat for me - couldn't be happier with my alarm arrangement. Daniel
