First, while similar in function, the Boom and Radio are very different in design and capabilities. The Boom is a slim (aka "dumb") client that can't do anything except tell time without a server (SB Classic can't even do that). The Radio has a full-fledged operating system, so configuration and other things can be done right on the device. Second, you can do almost all the same settings for the two devices (see below for a key exception). The difference is that the Boom depends on the server, whereas for the Radio you do many of the same settings on the Radio itself. And you can do these settings on the Radio without running a local server.

Many, including I, think exactly the opposite: why open up a web browser to contact a remote server to change the configuration of a device sitting right in front of you? sSNICKERSs;526212 Wrote: > There is also something missing : I can't change the order in the menu, > with my Boom I can do it ... from my PC whith mySqueezebox ! That, in my view, is a major problem with the interfaces for the Radio, Touch, and SB Controller (since 7.4).
