I may have used the term server incorrectly. (My apologies, I am not a DIY computer geek.) I would like the functionality of the Touch, but have it actually work. (I have been watching the Olive One very closely as it will have a hard drive option.) I like the ability to play music on the Touch or other connected SB devices and not have to run my computer. I dont want the hassle of setting up and maintaining a separate NAS. I do not need the additional transcoding ability of the full LMS software, but if I do need it, then I can always fire-up the computer. When the Touch actually works, my wife likes it because she does not have to deal with turning on the computer and switching between MySB.com and the local LMS. No problem in deferring the scope of Gen2. However, as a project manager, I find it helpful to know what is the final objective. I am really impressed by the technical knowledge and ability of people on this forum. Many thank yous to all the people that are spending their time and money making this happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881
