Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Ship date?
The Squeezebox website now says you can pre-order for shipment on October 1. Hey Logitech, I know you're working hard and I'm sure 99% of us don't mind waiting an extra few days or even weeks for the Radio. But it would be good customer service to email people who pre-ordered telling them that shipment is delayed by a few days. We shouldn't have to monitor the website or these forums to learn of the delay. -- bruce bruce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68552 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Get this. I have the Radio on my desk along with the Touch and am playing with the IR remote input on the Touch. Both players are receiving the IR signals, but I'm not paying any attention to the Radio. If it does something silly I just reach over and stop playback, turn it off or pull the power plug. But then out of the corner of my eye I notice these cool photos being displayed on the Radio's screen. Somehow I'd gotten into the flickr app's Interesting Photos. Neat stuff.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Does this new model have a auto-sleep button?
Considering I would have bought the Radio over the internet it's too much of a risk and simply too much hassle to buy it only to find the knob is not an adequate replacement for a snooze button, so I'll be waiting for the successor Radio II, or buying an alternative to replace my decrepit Sony FM radio/alarm with it's honking big - and well used - snooze button. I'd love to have bought a Logitech Radio but I don't see why I should take a leap of faith and potentially waste money on return shipping (and yet more on re-stocking fees) over something so basic/obvious as a snooze button on a product designed for use in as a bedside alarm.

Yes, but removing power will require a complete Radio re-boot (guessing around 60 seconds). But yes it will then start playing the station it was playing when it was turned off (removed power). In a more normal usage mode, the Radio will be turned off (actually, standby) by pressing the Power button.

I barely sleep anyway so getting up is no problem and it's rare that I haven't been up for a few hours before the alarm goes off at 3:30.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Does this new model have a auto-sleep button?
I read this thread with amazement. I have a SB Radio on order with Amazon, I placed the order on Sept 3 and simply assumed that a product marketed as a bedside radio (with alarm) would have a snooze button. This is the most basic of functionality. The Boom, of which I have 3, is frankly too big to be an aesthetic alarm clock replacement. Despite this, it has a snooze button, something I rely on each morning to give me that extra 9 minutes from 4:51 - 5:00. I am curious to _hear_from_Logitech_ why they decided to design this product without the snooze. This is clearly a fatal and fundamental design flaw. I am sure all the Logitech folks, especially from product design and marketing, will rationalize to themselves and others about the reasons for the choices, and defend the steps that took them to where we are today. Simply put, somebody dropped the ball big time! This is inexcusable, and I believe that Logitech should stop advertising and promoting the SB Radio as a viable alternative to a bedside alarm. I for one am canceling my order until version 2 of this product is released. Maybe next time the wunderkinds in product design will get the consumer input before beta or product release! -- morgan4x4 Whole House Squeezebox Powered Music: 3-SB2 7-SBC 10-SBR 3-Boom morgan4x4's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=243 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67409 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Mine was doing the same thing until I switched to mysqueezebox.com under Networking.
