I'd add one restriction (for the start): - 'only one alarm time' (adjustable for certain days of the week). This maybe would make it easier to cope with 'I hit snooze and now its the next alarms time'-scenarios.
I miss: - (for the start) fadein of the mp3 . - (for the second release) I'm a Radio fan. I didn't want to wakeup to the same tune every day. Which means you had to support starting a server stream (and watching that it wouldn't stop). Maybe one could avoid the SB-server and directly connect to a stream. In the end (for most streams) the Radio always streams directly from the source (I think). Problems to expect: - the server might want to 'take over' the audio system which you just used locally. When rebooting, on network failures ... always expect a 'stop'-command ;) ... - if there is already a stream playing when an alarm starts: you 'take over' the audio system yourself without the server knowing - so again the server might try to get control back. I'd wait until logitech publishes its Roadmap for the next release. I still have a fading glimpse of hope that they'd put alarm functionality on their list. Maybe you should ask Mickey directly (under disclosure to prevent a new long thread here) how the current official priorities for alarms are. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.4.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
