Thanks for your response. Yes, WOL does work on this player (pCP with a raspi touch screen). For example, if the pCP touch player is *off* and the server is *asleep* and I turn the pCP touch on (by touching the screen), the server wakes as it should. If the pCP touch is *off* and the server is *awake*, the alarm turns on as scheduled. As I said in my previous post, my Booms work as designed, i.e. a scheduled alarm will wake the server sometime before the scheduled alarm, so I don't believe that I have a LMS problem or a lan problem. It may be, as you said, that the pCP has no memory of an alarm, or that only the Logitech boxes are able to work this way. My work around is to set a "scheduled task" in the Windows 7 server that will wake the server 2 minutes before the scheduled pCP alam time. Cumbersome yes, but it will have to suffice until pCP/squeezelite can be adapted to function like a SB player.
