There is a chance it isn't the remote but the IR receiver on the unit. I've got the same issue with my old Squeezebox Touch

Thanks@openmedia

Any chance to fix? If not do you know of any similar radio/music system?

Would you be looking for something that also plays music off a local server/NAS or are you only interested in the internet radio and music on demand aspects of a Squeezebox replacement?

You can often use a cellphone camera to check a remote. The camera can "see" the IR emitted from the remote, so point the camera at the remote and press a button, you should see the IR LED flashing.

I'm running a few Squeezebox devices still and just use iPeng (IOS) or the web interface for control.

I'll take a look around. I have a Classic which has died, and which has a remote, somewhere.

Hi,

I was going to list my Slim devices squeezebox v2 + remote in the FS thread - everything works perfect. Interested?

Cheers,

Kerry.

The OP says that he's bought a remote on TradeMe. If anyone else is interested I have a Squeezebox Classic with remote up for grabs. There's something wrong with it - I think part of the analogue output is not working properly (realised that I had a Raspberry Pi and a spare Dragonfly which replaced it, so didn't spend much time investigating) - so it's probably not worth much. Maybe a swap for something?
