Thanks again.  I'll try tonight the BBC R4 MP3 I quoted above - that's a
long-time Saved Favorite, and seems to work every time I try it, so no
obvious time restrictions.  In another ALARM thread for back in the day
I noticed few folks with a broadly similar error to the one I'm having
recommended trying a slightly different start time for the alarm itself,
so I'll vary that by a couple of minutes too.

As to the "blueness", I'm referring to the Default GUI of the LMS
Server.  Up alongside the Pause/Play/ Jump buttons is the icon for
REPEAT.  Three options: Off (grey) , Repeat Track (blue), Repeat
Playlist (blue with squiggle).  I always have that button Off.  But this
morning it was On/Blue.  As you say, that probably Alarm itself
necessitating a Repeat.
