Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Vs Boom
Yes, new Radio can be wired. Radio is mono, but sounds good. Batteries are (will be) offered as a package of a battery remote for $49, dunno if one can just buy an extra battery.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Power on question
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. Then simply pressing the Play button powers on Radio (wakes from standby) and immediately plays the last played station. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68584 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I literally stream 24/7 to my Boom, it is never off. :) Being dependent on an online service like SN/MySB has it's advantages and disadvantages. For me, I love having all my streaming services on such an online service as it simplifies both management and use of my Music Services and saved Favorite stations. All accounts and Favorites are accessible from any computer or SB player anywhere I go (assuming I have access to high speed internet). I bring my SB players to many functions with friends and family, they love it, no computer needed.

But seeing that Logitech is investing so much time, money, effort, and resources into MySB... plus investing heavily into two new players (both will be BIG hits IMO) one of these players (Radio) is almost specifically designed for MySB use I don't see MySB having such Roku-like issues for many years to come.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] preset and favorite bugs w/server 7.4.1
MySqueezeBox Integration only syncs basic player settings, not Favorites. Syncing of Favorites between SBS and MySB is coming but is not currently supported. I suspect this might be part of your losing Podcasts and Favorites as your Radio is switching between SBS and MySB. There certainly are many ways to control the SB players, but that's part of the flexibility of the SB system to suit many varying needs and different usage models. Better documentation of each type of control would be nice though. What might help you, and as I've suggested to friends family that I have turned onto the SB players, is to try and use one server (local SBS on your computer or MySB online) to control your player in the beginning to get a better feel for using the SB system. Preferably SBS as you have better and more control over the players and access to your local music.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] preset and favorite bugs w/server 7.4.1
Many SB customers use these players almost exclusively for Internet Radio usage, and the SB Radio is particularly geared for that purpose. So much so that out of the box setup pretty much insists on connecting to MySB online, which is great for first time SB users with no local server but is then overly complicated for existing SB users running a local server. As Radish suggests, for Internet Radio Podcast usage, just leave it on MySB online. You'll give up some UI and customization controls using MySB over SBS, but it also reduces the complexity for online content usage. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70268 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] My mini review of the Squeezebox Radio
To turn off operation beeps: Settings Audio Sound Effects None Initially the Album Art was about 1/3 smaller on the Radio and many wanted larger images. I would love to see a setting option for such art like Large (full screen like, it is now) and Small (about 1/4 to 1/3 smaller, text does not cover album). If it can only be a menu item within Settings that would be acceptable, but it would be better IMO to make it a simple on the fly option while in the Now Playing screen. I suggested a knob turn in Now Playing would re-size the art on the fly. A Knob turn currently does nothing in Now Playing (unless you push the knob). The idea being each right click increases art size by 1/3, each left click decreases art size by 1/3, max three turns each way, fourth click (either direction) brings you back to the original art size. But they seem to be interested in waiting for a third party plugin for this type of feature (assuming it is even possible at all). -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70788 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

MelonMonkey;483894 Wrote: I haven't seen any regular alarm clock radio where the alarm can still sound during a power outage. The 9v battery backup in these types of alarms only keeps the correct time for when the mains power comes back on. Many such alarms also break down after a while, can have their volume levels at zero without you knowing it, the radio station might be off the air, etc. Yes, there are potentially more failure points to a client-server product, but the Radio and Boom can sound an alarm without a server present. You also forgot the biggest failure point of all. Simply sleeping through the alarm. Myself, I usually wake up from 1 to 5 minutes before any alarm I set, regardless of what time it's for and regardless of where I'm sleeping. But that's just me. ;) I'm tossing my current clock radio when the SBS comes in. If you're not intending to wake up to music, then just use any old buzzer alarm - or the one on your watch, phone, iPod, TV, whatever. Don't know where you get that a $5 alarm clock with a battery backup won't sound an alarm during a power outage, mine do. My one clock went for weeks not even plugged in before I noticed the cord unplugged. Every symptom you detail (volume at zero, station off the air) are also potential problems to Radio and Boom (in addition to the dozen other things that can go haywire on a networked device). I am certain MANY will buy this great Radio for use as a bedside alarm/clock/radio and LOVE it for such use. But not I. :) Also, check out the Boom forum for the posts on when the failsafe alarm did not function. But then I'm not the type to lay in bed to listen to music either.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
I've never used Roku, but a SB player like your Radio must be connected to a server, somewhere, somehow to play a stream. You can connect your Radio to the SBS 7.4 server on your computer or you can connect it to the MySB.com server online (no computer needed). -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
Well, your computer has an operating system and other components a simple thin client device does not have. SB players are thin clients that require a connection to a server to function. And, actually, whatever program on your computer is playing the station stream is basically acting as the server per se. Absent a server some of the SB players have limited abilities like play from the line-in source and/or will (should) function as an alarm clock with a basic audio alarm (no stream). As for Roku I'd guess that your Roku player connects to the online Roku server without you even knowing it. But again, I've never used a Roku player so this is just a guess. My Yamaha AVR connects to (and only to) the vTuner online server. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

jmpage2;492375 Wrote: CECat. Little do you know that by purchasing a Squeeze device you have played into their plans to market you relentlessly through their Squeezebox website. This is a marketing decision made by Logitech. There is really no reason that the Radio must be connected to the Internet for setup and if you do some searching around you will find some workarounds that exist to let you get the radio set up without connection to MySqueezebox.com. I run my own Squeezebox Server at home for streaming of my own music library and simply point all of my Squeezeboxes to that. Except that won't help Susan as she specifically does not want a computer running. I agree wholeheartedly that the Radio should offer a connection to either SBS or MySB at initial setup. But essentially one or the other must be chosen, and for use absent a computer then a MySB account setup is the only real option. I think the whole SN/MySB handling all Music Services and Apps is a great way to go. A one time setup online at MySB.com and all my SB players will function anywhere, anytime, with or without a computer. Once setup one never needs to log in to their MySB account ever again. :) Susan: Try it, you'll like it! :) Create a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account using your computer, enter that login info onto your Radio at setup, you are off and running. But, I'd bet once you see the offerings potential of the Radio and the numerous free Apps, you'll be logging on again to try more Apps and free services. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Argh! Backup alarm every morning, but streams fine when preset pressed
I don't use SB players for any alarm functions (see other posts, I've said too much already), but I wonder if you couldn't do the following which *might* be a more reliable alarm function: - set ONLY a built in default alarm sound (forget trying to stream as the alarm) - dismiss alarm - press Preset to your desired stream Or can it be setup in a manner where pressing a Preset does both? 1. dismisses alarm 2. starts to stream that Preset For *me* it is the reliance on all of the items in the chain to all work as expected that I do not trust, all to perform a simple task. In some scenarios all of the following must be functioning properly to wake someone: electric power, computer, router, WiFi, modem, ISP, SBS, MySB, internet station . all to accomplish what my $5 alarm clock with a simple 9v battery backup has done flawlessly for over a decade.:) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72374 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Appears to be playing, but no sound?
Today: Radio Boom, both on MySB, playing same stream (not Synced), MP3 128k internet radio station: Boom: Kept playing stream, no problems Radio: Stopped playing stream, no error or stopped message, icon did display Stopped Earlier today (unrelated to above) Radio rebooted itself while playing and could not reconnect to MySB (blue icon), tried Try Again several times but failed to connect first few attempts, but did eventually reconnect. Boom did also disconnect from MySB at this time (best I can tell) but Boom's screen simply showed Stopped for the station stream, pressing Play re-started stream and required no interaction from me to reconnect to MySB. I presume the US-VA MySB server was taken down or rebooted? Radio not able to connect to MySB and Boom showing a stopped stream may not be related, I dunno. But it was very coincidental that both happened at about the same time (guessing as Boom and Radio are in different parts of the house). -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72182 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Once you escape the MySB login, connect to SBS (but SBS also has no valid MySB account), does the Radio continue to bug you about setting up a MySB account? Just curious.

The device may query a Roku server to check for firmware updates, but the internet radio functionality and a web server for configuration is all built-in. Way off topic, but this thread has pretty much run it's course anyway I had a chance encounter with a Roku user over the weekend at a Holiday party. We were both eyeing the party hosts Hi-Fi gear, so I knew we would hit it off. The conversation eventually turned to streaming devices. She has two Roku players, when I told her I use SqueezeBox players she slapped me and walked away. I'm kidding :) But she did reveal some interesting tidbits about Roku players that I think may answer how the Roku players can be utilized absent a server. The two most glaring tidbits were: 1. Roku players are limited to a total of 18 presets/favorites streams 2. Roku supports no third party Music Services (Napster, Pandora, Last.fm, etc..) Now, to be fair, she did say she only uses one model player (two of the same players in her home), she's never connected them to her computer, and she has not logged into the online Roku server in a LONG time. So she may not be up on the latest Roku offerings, but was rather confident the above issues were accurate in her usage. Are these stated restrictions true? Maybe you Roku users could comment? If they are true then that probably explains why a Roku player can be self managed within the player itself without need of a server. I'm not knocking the simplistic architecture of Roku players, but I guess simplicity has it's price: less configurable, less customizable, no Music Services, limited presets/favorites, fewer choices. I think it would be quite difficult to cram all of the SqueezeBox features, benefits, customizations, Music Services (and management of them), flexibility, etc.. into the hardware player itself. But then this feature rich architecture does require connection to a server. Advantages, disadvantages, and the associated price paid for each. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
