Looking For A Replacement Internet Radio

[Jamil]

I own a Sangean WFR-1. It worked for a few months without issue, but now it is defective. It now reboots itself instead of making network connections. I tried playing around with it in an attempt to fix, but it has some hardware issues. I was using this as a clock radio, and it did support Twonky audio served by my NAS. I'm going to avoid Sangean in the future.

I would like to order a new clock radio that can play media stored on the NAS. I'm actually not even finding very many of these devices being made.

Any suggestions on a replacement that has a clock with alarm functionality built in? It must stream audio from my NAS. Internet radio would be nice too, but it is not required.

Thanks.

I have recently purchased a Logitech Squeezebox Radio and I am very happy with it:

You can install the Logitech Media Server in your NAS, so you can stream your music files to your Radio, as well as tuning radio stations.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will use the device primarly as an alarm clock to wake up to. This was what I was using the Sangean for.

In searching Logitech's forums, there looks like people are having issues with its alarm features:

I do not see that this had been resolved in this thread.

I was not aware of that problem, since I do not use the alarm to wake up!.
I have only used the Squeezebox Radio's alarm once to alert me for a live transmission I wanted to listen to a few hours later, and it worked OK.
It's obvious that every owner have his own preferences on how to use his equipment...
Anyway, I cannot understand how long time need Logitech engineers in solving an (apparent) simple problem; maybe it is not that simple!
