I like the music to be turned off automatically after a timeout, for example 15 minutes. I like to be able to stop the music manually if I like to. The problem with the 7.4.1 alarm clocks is: - It doesn't show what's playing - It doesn't hide the alarm snooze window when the alarm is deactivated automatically after the alarm timeout Both these problems are solved in 7.4.2 with the 59 second auto hide snooze window feature. My alarm usage has actually changed a bit since I got the Radio. With my old alarm clock I used two different modes: - Beep mode: turn off the alarm as fast as I can then lay down and wake up for a minute and two and than get up - Radio mode: listen to music a while and then turn off the alarm and get up. With the Radio I instead us this mode: - Let the alarm play music and when the music stops after 15 minutes it's time to get up. The new behavior actually suit my needs as long as the music stops when the alarm is turned off with the timeout. I'm guessing it does stop the music after the timeout ? Personally, I'd still like off to mean off, I'd rather use the Home button to hide snooze window. When I manually want to turn off the alarm I like to do it with a button, I don't like the idea of having to turn the knob to just turn off the alarm. I wonder why off doesn't mean off anymore ? If it would turn off the sound, we could have a behavior like: - People that use snooze have to use it within 59 seconds - People that doesn't use snooze and want to turn of the alarm immediately can do it either with the knob or the off button - People (like myself) which like the music to play until the timeout ends, can just leave it playing and after 59 seconds it starts to show the Now Playing screen saver instead. The music would be turned off automatically after the timeout or manually by hitting off. bluegaspode;502395 Wrote: > > - could you handle three menu options in the morning ? > Yes but I suspect there are also people that can't -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73506 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
