There seems to be no option to save a new radio station to favorites while listening. Am I just missing something? Thank you .

I tried that sequence and the playlist gets cleared. This is with the small remote on the Boom. I think I misunderstood something.Ikabob

No, the tip was probably for the Radio where the + button brings up the context menu. That doesn't work on the Boom.
IIRC there used to be a favorites option when you pressed the right arrow button on the Now Playing screen, but that got lost in SBS 7.5 since they are now displaying the useless Radiotime menu instead of the SBS menu.Comment

It gets confusing because the same buttons on different players perform different functions.
From Now Playing screen, arrow back and hover over the selected station, then..
For Boom: quick press of KNOB
For Radio: press & hold KNOB or press "+"
..all sequences should offer "Save to Favorites"Comment

Can this be done via IR remote? Thanks.Ikabob

I'm just offering what workarounds I know of till they fix what they broke.Comment

Ah, ok. We need the whole menu back, not only "Save to favorites". There used to be technical information, too, like the station's URL and bitrate. What they should have done is to add the radiotime menu to the original NP menu, instead of replacing it.
I wonder when they sneaked that change in. I've been using 7.5 beta for quite some time, but I only noticed the changed menu after the code freeze.Comment

Yes, we definitely need the whole menu back. But how? It is a major loss in function IMO .Ikabob

Even the "choose a stream" is neat, where you may be offered like four different streams (at different bitrates) to choose from.
But this is POINTLESS information if I do not know which of those streams I am currently connected too.
My suggested options:
1. put the More Info tab back
2. put stream info (bitrate & format) as the first two context menu items, then offer me "You may like" etc..
3. when I hit "Choose a stream" but a bullet or short note next to the stream I am currently playing
Any one of the above would solve the issue, I'd prefer both 2 & 3 myself.
BTW: This change only affects RadioTime streams, all other streams are just as before offering bitrate & format info.Comment

Having *no* inside information, my guess is that RadioTime wanted to add these cool new functions and the Logitech team implemented these changes while dealing with (read: overwhelmed with) Radio & Touch release, SBS and MySB updates, MySB connection issues, etc.. so some basics were left to future enhancements. Just a guess.
BTW: If you select "Choose a stream", hover over your choice (highest bitrate more than likely), "Save to Favorites" is offered as I described earlier.
