As already mentioned, 6 hours is the official Logitech estimate. My experience, when I have had it on long enough at one stretch to run the battery down to the warning level, is that it has run 9-10 hours. That is not at full blast but loud enough so I could hear it across the room and I am not in

Thanks for the replies...I am outside the UK and the squeezebox radio has the BBC Radio applet installed that connects through Squeeze.com (not through a Squeezebox Server)using WMA format (I had re-buffering issues using AAC). On Demand does work using the BBC web site. -- dclingaman -

Let's look at this from the Logitech viewpoint. I suspect that the radio is not much of a revenue generator for Logitech relative to other products, given the radio's sparse sales and underwhelming reception from the press and reviewers. Also, I doubt that the whole Squeezebox product line is g

Honestly, I'm pretty much 100% convinced, that at least some people at Logitech are fully aware of how crappy the whole alarm design and implementation is and chose to ignore it for whatever reason. As they chose to ignore all the other flaws and bugs. Heck, it's not like there weren't hundreds of

Since it is a BBC problem - there is nothing Triode needs to do. While the applet advice is good - many users of SB3, Boom etc have this problem so all they need to do is change the BBC iPlayer plugin settings (WebUI Settings/Advanced/BBC iPplayer) to use WMA. -- bpa --
