This is exactly what they are shooting for, but it is not easy to accomplish with so many different and varied user scenarios. For many, if currently on MySB then selecting My Music should just switch to the local SBS (it does this now with one extra click on the Radio). And if on SBS then selecting Internet Radio or any Music Service within Apps should just switch to MySB. But then for many others, like myself, I don't want to be pushed to MySB for such usage preferring to stay on SBS for it's added features & benefits when using Internet Radio and Music Services. I completely understand both preferences. But now how do you accommodate both?? That's the hard part. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71481 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to Switch from SBS to MySB?
Ideally this source switching would be done automatically and transparently in the background. This distinction between MySB and SBS is unnecessary and holds back adoption of the device by non-tech users, e.g. my SO. Logic should be built into the Radio (and other SB devices) that says "if what I request to play is available on the internet, get it there; if it requires the server, start it up and connect; if it doesn't require the server, let it shut down". Fortunately, I subscribe to Rhapsody which means I can pretty much just leave the Radio attached to MySB and play anything. Unfortunately, many of the things I play are already on my server in a higher quality format. -- Apesbrain Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71481 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Yeah, he's just looking for a quicker way to switch the Radio from SBS to MySB without turning off SBS or having to drill to Settings > Advanced > Networking > Connect to MySB Personally, I still think this should just be a universal "Switch Server" on the Home Menu. If I'm on SBS it offers MySB (which it does when you select Switch to MySB as a Home Menu item). But if I'm on MySB this option disappears (which makes sense since I'm already connected to MySB), but here I would have it say "Switch to SBS". I know switching to SBS is easily achieved by simply going to either Switch Library or My Music where SBS will be offered. It just seems more consistent and more sensible to have a simple Home Menu item that simply offers the "other" server, IMHO. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71481 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Hi, first, I do not have a radio yet, but planning to do so... So heres the way how it works with my SBClassic. I just press the left arrow on the remote for about 5 sec, after that it comes directly to the config menue where I can select the connection. But AFAIK the radio does not come with a remote... so maybe you could emulate this with direct operation.

You must switch manually.
