You didn't overreact, I just didn't understand that you were talking
about the computer based control interface.

If the UE Smart Radio becomes a success, I'm pretty sure someone
(Logitech or third party) eventually will create a computer based
browsing interface if there is a lot of users requesting this. The only
issue is that there isn't any documentation regarding the API's, but
pippin has obviously been able to do it on the iPad/iPhone with iPengUE
so I'm fairly sure it would be possible for someone to do the same on a
computer.

For me personally, I have a lot more need for the computer based
browsing interface on my Touch, on the Radio's I rarely use a computer
and often not even an iPhone/iPad to control them. I think the reason
for this is where the Radio devices are placed (Bedroom/Kitchen) and the
fact that I often just want to listen to a favorite on the Radio's while
I do more browse oriented listening mainly on the Touch which is placed
in the main listening room where I'm often sitting with an iPad or
laptop in front of me.

This is the downgrade procedure I followed when I did it previously:

As you can see in the last point you should in the player settings page
on mysqueezebox.com have an option to cancel the UE Smart Radio upgrade.
Possibly it might require you to connect to mysqueezebox.com first, so
try entering one of the My Apps menus and see the option appears after
that, also try to restart the Squeezebox Radio, I'm not sure it appeared
directly after the factory reset or if I had to restart it a second time
before the cancel option appeared on mysqueezebox.com.
