I've said before that I feel the menu is more pain than gain, but if it must exist, I see no reason why your preference (to keep playing) couldn't be a third option in the menu. Also seems like the intent is to allow developers to override the alarm menu via apps - so maybe you'll have to hope that this gives you the functionality you want. But for me, the radio should get the basics right, out of the box - and for me its not yet doing that. Philip Meyer;508818 Wrote: > 3.

Totally agree - but seems that we're outnumbered. Personally prefer to hit the power button to stop the alarm - although in my build (7.4.1) when you next power-on (could be days later), the alarm menu is still there. IMO this is a bug. Powering off the radio should cancel "alarm mode". Is this still the same in your build ? Philip Meyer;508818 Wrote: > 4. Configured alarm for 9:17, but when it fired on Radio, clock says > 9:16. As I understand it, the server fires the alarm at the appropriate time. There are various posts about the radio clock drifting from the server time. One option might be for the alarm to act as a time-sync event. In other words, the radio would update its local clock at the moment the alarm fires, because the alarm is effectively a broadcast time. -- squishy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ squishy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35390 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74319 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
