Description Daniel Barrett 2010-01-22 04:31:42 UTC
On a traditional alarm clock, you can press a single button to answer the question, "When is the next time the alarm will ring?"  On the Squeezebox Radio (and the Boom presumably), this simple, important question is difficult to answer. You have to browse through multiple alarms and submenus, and hold information in your head about all the active alarms, to learn when it will ring next (or why the little "bell" icon is displaying).

I suggest that when the Radio is off, if you push (and hold?) the alarm button, the Radio should display the next time that the alarm is scheduled to ring.  For example, "7:00 Mon".  The Radio already has a display mode to display a day & time together (its normal clock) so you could leverage that.
