My alarm wakes me up every morning to a radio stream. On the very rare occassions when the radio stream is down (not a fault from logitech) the fallback alarm sounds.
In the evening my son fells to sleep while listening to his lullabies. And when my parents are here at tea time I play our 'soft music' playlist also without problems. As already pointed out not running a local server might get you into more trouble. At least some in this forum claim that the alarm is not working reliably when just using mysqueezebox.com. I don't know if this is just a local problem or a general one. Also remember: The software running on MySqueezeBox.com actually much the same as in the local server. If there is a huge bug than this affects both. A local server also give you more stability as you can choose, which firmware version you want to run. (Note - this only works well with a 24/7 server - as otherwise your device needs to switch to mysqueezebox.com and asks you to revert to the mysqueezebox.com-firmware version). Most people with a local server also chose to run the 7.5.1 beta/preview version some weeks ago, because it was much better than the official 7.5.0-version. Or choose to run the pretty stable 7.4.2. MySqueezebox.com users had to wait very long until now they finally got the 7.5.1. and had to cope with 7.5.0 as they can't choose, which firmware to use. -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
