I use the alarms to turn on the SBT as my alarm clock every morning. I set it to turn on a radio station rather than alarm sound.
Is there any way to get it to turn itself off say after 2 hours? Perhaps integrate the sleep function?
Wishful thinking: can I get it to change stations at pre-determined times?

Not sure about the answer to the first question, but to change stations at a predetermined time you could set another alarm, with the different station as the alarm.

Indeed, I hadn't thought of that.

Will give it a try.

ok I set 3 alarms 2 minutes apart - radio station 1, radio station 2 and music tone. Originally Posted by dood

I will experiment with some radio stations that don't play, and could use these as off alarms.

or create a short mp3 file that has whatever sound and/or silence that you want. Save it as a favorite and make it your third alarm. Originally Posted by dood

Finally a use for those annoying "silent tracks" that are on some albums between the main album and the "bonus tracks"! Try "A Quiet Moment" from Peter Gabriel's New Blood album. Originally Posted by garym

To set the duration of the alarm, go to Server Settings.
Go to the Player tab
Choose player from the drop down menu and choose Alarm from the other drop down menu
On the "Alarm Timeout" select the number of minutes the alarm runs
To run multiple alarms make sure the time for the following alarm is set for the time plus the number of minutes on the "Alarm Timeout"
e.g if you set the alarm for 7am with an alarm timeout of 15 minutes, the next alarm should be set for 7.15 am to allow the first alarm to finish.
