Unable to save presets on Boom

[itm]

I've been trying to save a radio station to one of the unused presets on my Boom, but even when I hold the numbered preset button for 30 seconds it still doesn't save. Is there any other way of saving a radio station to one of the numbered buttons (e.g. via the web interface)??

Someone here posted about this failure not long ago. He managed to store one preset after each reboot (hold power off button).
If that won't work you could alter the server.prefs manually.

Thanks for that. Editing server.prefs seemed to work well.

Does anyone know what causes this problem, and whether it is permanent? (i.e. the inability to save to presets on the Boom using the number keys)

Do you have any idea where I would find that posting? This issue is
pretty much news to me.

Sorry, I was looking for that post quite a while without finding something. As I stumbled over it, I can't remember where and what about the thread was.

Try this

Using the LMS web interface make the radio station a favorite.
On your boom scroll to your saved favorite (don't start it playing) press and hold a preset button, you should get confirmation that it's been saved as a preset.

I also have this bug.

Try this

Using the LMS web interface make the radio station a favorite.
On your boom scroll to your saved favorite (don't start it playing) press and hold a preset button, you should get confirmation that it's been saved as a preset.

However, this works.

Ah yes that worked for me too - thanks!

I found a slightly simplified method that worked for me. Once the station is "tuned" in and playing, press the "play" button one more time (right arrow) on the device. That enabled presets to be saved on my system.
