There are both plugins, which run on Squeezebox Server, and applets, which run on the Radio itself. There are quite a few applets, mostly that allow you customize the information displayed on the Radio's LCD screen. Most of them can also be used on the Touch. You can find out more about them from the various sub-forums, especially 3rd Party Plugins, SB Radio, and SB Touch.
I think the general view about the alarm is that if you rely on mysqueezebox.com (instead of running a local Squeezebox Server), the alarm is hopeless. If you run a local server then the reviews are mixed. I run a local server, and in the six months I used the SB Radio for my daily alarm (4-5 days/week) it went off on time, every time. Not everyone has such happy experiences. If you are running a local SBS, try it out, but for "mission critical" alarms like job interview or picking up spouse at airport, it's best to have a backup until you are sure you can trust the SB Radio. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84681 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
