Do you have issues if you don't use SpotifyConnect? I use Spotty, but
not Connect and have no issues. Michael, the developer of this plugin
has said many times on this forum that the "SpotifyConnect" function
doesn't work very well.

No, not flakey at all. Rock solid and usually just works. But something
is causing you problems. Are you sure the touch and LMS are on same

Not unless you add a "DAC" (if you're using RCA input to your stereo

And you first need to install the EDO applet on the TOUCH itself.
Without EDO the TOUCH doesn't play through the USB connection.
since you're running LMS 8.2 you may want to tick the "community

RADIO, or duet CONTROLLER's firmware to 8.0.1. I've been running this a

Just adding my 2 cents to the OP's question (and confirming all the
other advice). Yes, one must be running LMS somewhere to use the Touch.
It is not a player that one simply directly connects to a computer. It
is a "network streamer". LMS manages the local music files, or internet

Given that you have two Touch players with exactly the same symptoms all

Why not? The Mac running LMS is connected via wifi to router (one hop),

1. In many ways the squeezebox/LMS ecosystem has never been stronger.
The rPi revolution (and piCorePlayer), among others, has solved the
discontinuation of the hardware. The usergroups at this forum are doing

That tells me that the TOUCH is not talking to your local network or the

a factory
and if headless is ok (like the duet receiver), then you could also move
to an rPi3B+ with a hifiberry DAC+ Hat running piCorePlayer to replace

No, LMS will be installed as part of the piCorePlayer software. Read
through all the getting started steps and I think it will make more

PiCorePlayer. One burns the SDcard with piCorePlayer OS,

I think yes. You'll be running a "tiny" version of the LMS server on the
Touch. And other players on your network can be connected to that LMS

First thing I would do is:
1. turn OFF (unplug) Touch
2. Turn off computer/NAS running LMS
3. Unplug modem/Router.

1. plug in modem/Router and let fully start
2. turn on Computer/NAS running LMS and let fully start (i.e., can
access the webGUI of LMS)
3. Plug in Touch and it should find
