PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improvements in controlling a clock radio or providing information useful for a user. SOLUTION: A clock radio receives, over a network, instructions from a remote device that are configured to sound a local alarm on the clock radio. The clock radio is capable of using the received audio alarm data in sounding the alarm. A user can "snooze" the local alarm and have it sounded at a later time, or "stop" the local alarm and initiate streaming and playback of preconfigured audio data from the remote device. The preconfigured audio data can include a range of personalized and public media. The clock radio enables a user to step through audio files within a stream of preconfigured audio data and to step through additional streams of preconfigured audio data available from the remote device.
