Could you precise why tinyLMS should be avoided so much ? I use it with
USB keys or SD cards of 32 GB and it seems CPU use of tinyLMS is low on
the SBT.
For small libraries the Touch's USB/SD is fine. But there are numerous
issues with using this vs the full LMS server on a computer.
- Touch must rescan entire contents on every device swap or Touch power
up
- while scanning Touch can become sluggish (sometimes not even usable)

Toby10 lays out the reasons very well. And as he notes, your use with
just a few USB keys or SD cards with not too many
Too many questions here to reply to each separately.
When using one of the software players on a computer on your network
(hardwired or wifi) it connects to the server just like any other SB

A quick one: essentially any USB drive can work connected to a computer
running LMS. It is only when connecting to the touch itself to use
tinyLMS that you have to be picky because of potential drive issues. And
you should really avoid the tinyLMS option if at all possible.

I am a new owner of a Squeezebox Touch. I've been happily using it for
listening to Internet radio streams, and I've been reading various
posts on this forum seeking information that will help me assemble a
SBT-based setup that meets my other listening interests and priorities.

and some apparent misperceptions. I don't think I can address all of
them, but I'll try to get to the key ones.
