THANK YOU! Your mockup screen looks very good to me!

This is exactly what I've been hoping we would see in the alarm
function for quite a while.  A LARGE time display while the alarm is
firing so I actually can figure out what time it is without having to
check my watch in a dark room.  

It is very clear from the thread that there is no pleasing everyone,
however I have to say that I'm dismayed by the increasing demand for
there to be a 60 second timeout of the Alarm screen (it might take me a
full minute to wake up and I still need to know what time it is when I
look at the damn alarm clock!) or the elimination of the alarm screen
entirely.

If you want to use the Squeezebox as an Alarm clock then there has to
be a simple LARGE display of the clock, possibly the alarm time as well,
and some very basic dialogue choices for snooze.  What gaspode has
described would be close to perfect.

If you don't want to use the Squeezebox as an Alarm clock but simply
want music to start playing at a certain time then I would recommend
that there be two use cases.

1.  Alarm clock user (90% I would guess).
2.  Start playing music at 'x' time and play like normal with a normal
screen, no timeout, etc.  This I would think could be done through an
applet.

Logitech needs to focus on use case number ONE.  I have written a
review of the Squeezebox Radio on Amazon and have gotten a lot of
feedback from other users frustrated with the alarm functionality.

At the end of the day the majority of the people who buy this want the
alarm clock functionality to work as close to a regular $10 radio alarm
clock as possible.  Make the time display as readable as possible and
give the option to snooze as much as user wants.
