First off, a big thank you to Roon for the continued development of a wonderful product. The evolution of Roon and your communication with its users on this forum is fantastic. Each time I use Roon (every day) it brings a smile to my face. As someone who’s tinkered with audio gear for over 40 years that’s something that hasn’t happened very often.
As I read the community forum and watch for updates I was bowled over by the Internet radio add and Squeezebox support as an endpoint. Squeezebox?..I have one of those somewhere. After rummaging around I found a Squeeebox3 buried in a closet. Even found the remote!
Set-up was straightforward as outlined here and before long I was streaming my music library to an upstairs bedroom. Great.
All is good. Just a couple of ‘nice to have’ requests.
The Squeeebox3 interface has a Sleep Mode initiated from the remote in 15 min increments. When I press the sleep function it pauses playback, no sleep function. For Internet radio it would nice to be able to pause after a set time.
Remote Power button - I believe it used to put the SB3 on standby which would display a dimmed screen with the current time. Now it just pauses the audio stream. If I hit PLAY it resumes.
It seems as though Roon is taking over the Squeezebox exclusively. The SB display always shows a Roon logo. If that’s how it has to be, fine. I’m just pleased to able to resurrect the SB and amplify Roon’s value. If it’s a relatively easy fix to allow SB to retain these functions I for one would be grateful.
