Squeezebox Boom has six Preset buttons below the display. You can think of these as a miniature list of six favorites that you can recall instantly at any time. Adding an item to a Preset will also add it to your Favorites, if it’s not already in there.
Setting and Using the Preset buttons
If you’ve used a car radio, then you’re already familiar with how the Preset buttons work. Just press and hold one of the six Preset buttons to assign the currently selected item. To recall that item, tap the Preset button. As with Favorites, a Preset can be
a track, an album, a radio station, or a playlist.
Managing your Favorites using SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter
If you would like to add or remove a lot of favorites at once, you may find it easier to do so from your computer. Go to www.squeezenetwork.com, sign in to your account, and then select Favorites.
If you’re running SqueezeCenter on a local computer, you may use it to manage your favorites. Highlight the Favorites menu item and select the edit (pencil) icon.
TIP: if your Squeezebox Boom is connected to SqueezeNetwork, adding a Preset or Favorite stores the item in your SqueezeNetwork account. If your Boom is connected to SqueezeCenter, adding a Preset or Favorite saves the item in SqueezeCenter. SqueezeNetwork and SqueezeCenter each maintain independent lists of Favorites and Presets.
Adding a favorite radio station that’s not in one of the guides
The radio station guides offered via SqueezeNetwork and the Squeezebox Boom menu (RadioIO, RadioTime, Live365, and ShoutCast) make it easy to browse thousands of radio stations and add them to your favorites or presets. If your favorite online station isn’t available via one of these guides, it’s easy to use SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork to add it if you know the URL for the stream.

Squeezebox Boom’s Alarm
Squeezebox Boom has a sophisticated alarm system. You can set multiple alarms per day, and set alarms at different times on any day of the week. You can choose to be woken by an item in your favorites, or by Squeezebox Boom’s
A
If you’ve selected an online source for your alarm (such as your favorite Internet radio station) and your Boom loses its connection to the Internet for any reason, your Boom will automatically substitute a pleasing (but effective) alarm tone to help ensure that you wake up on time.
How To Set The Alarm
Select Alarm Clock from the Home Screen. The first menu item is All Alarms On/ Off – a useful option if you’re going on vacation. Scroll to Add Alarm and click the navigation wheel. On the next menu you can select the days you would like the alarm to sound (every day of the week, or any combination of days), the item to play, and the volume.
The Snooze Button
Like any good alarm clock, Squeezebox Boom has a snooze button. While the alarm is sounding, the large button on the top panel will delay the alarm. The SLEEP button on the remote control (located between the HOME and POWER buttons) also functions as a snooze button while the alarm is sounding.
