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

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

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
