Only this one fallback.mp3 is saved directly on the Radio.
This is very unfortunate - especially for MySB.com users - as people think by using these sounds they get a more fail safe alarm. What they are doing then is that they not only rely on MySB.com for the alarm trigger, but now the sound as well. And I guess most Radio stations out there have better hardware to support reliable streaming - as its their core business - than Logitech whose main focus with MySB.com is not the streaming part, but the remote controlling part of Squeezeboxes. I'm not sure yet how much space is left on the Radio, to have an Applet that comes with some mp3s and is able to replace the fallback tunes. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84806 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
