Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Several SB Touch issues....
1. I will check the audio settings. It didn't occur to me to do so because I've never changed them. 2. I have LMS installed on a Windows 10 PC, and also have a hard drive connected. But when I start the SB, I often have to reboot it or the PC with LMS to get them to talk to each other. 3.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Several SB Touch issues....
1. All of a sudden, the Touch is too quiet. By that I mean that its startup chime is barely audible, as are the noises that it makes when you search or turn it off. Is this a sign that it has issues? 2. This is probably an amateur user issue, but lately when I turn on the PC that I use to connect between my hard drive and the Touch, LMS loads. After that, I have a devil of a time getting the SB to connect to either the HD or LMS. I uninstalled and reinstalled Spotty the other day. Same issues today- I had to reboot the SB and my PC to even get the SB to connect. 3. Lists load very, very slowly on the SB. And tonight, when I tried to select an artist on my list (David Boswell), the SB would buffer, and then bring up selections for David BOWIE. 4. The SB itself seems warm to the touch. Not hot, but warmer than it used to be. Are any of these issues related? What can I do to try to resolve them? Thanks in advance!

[SlimDevices: Touch] SBT is not picking up CDs I just ripped onto my hard drive
I just ripped 5 CDs onto my 1TB Western Digital hard drive. I then opened SBS on the laptop I use strictly for that purpose. SBS added the CDs successfully to the folder on the HD that I use for the music that I rip. I then turned on the SBT to play one of the just-ripped discs. It wasn't listed in the new-music list, although a lot of OTHER music was listed, some from being added quite awhile ago. So I re-scanned for music in SBS. I did a software update on the SBT. I also re-booted both the laptop and the SBT (by pulling the plug on the SBT). I went into SBS settings and looked at the library. The CDs I ripped are in it and in my folder on my hard drive. The SBT will NOT find them when I search, either by album or by artist. What's my next step?

Why does the SB Touch want to do an update (the same ones over and over) every time it's powered up? And now that I FINALLY got Triode's Spotify plug in installed, why isn't it working? It brings up information, then I get black screens for each song title saying it's getting information or something, then whatever i'm trying to play reads stopped and won't work. Also, the mysqueezebox.com email address on the Touch itself is my current address. On the LMS Server on my laptop, it's my old email address. When I try to change the email and password to the current ones ON the Touch in LMS Server, it tells me there was a networking error connecting to mysqueezebox.com!

Last time my Touch did a software update, I noticed an orange logo labeled Spotify Core on my SB screen. Curious, I clicked on it.

When I tried USING some of the functions, my SB acted as though it would work, then an error message appeared referring to C:\\Spotify ? not being available or open. Does the Core logo mean that I CAN stream Spotify Radio if I have Spotify itself open on the laptop that I currently use to run the Squeezebox Server?

I posted this question on the Spotify forum and have received NO response (note: I can play Camel tracks through Pandora on the SB with no problem).

Another questionwhen I'm using the Squeezebox, how does it affect other users in my house using the internet? -- Ocean56 Ocean56's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84302 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

OK, as mentioned in my other post, my new Touch is set up and streaming Internet radio with no problem. The review in Stereophile suggests that streaming FLAC files has to be heard to be believed. I'm in the dark ages when it comes to PC audio files, so to my knowledge, I HAVE no FLAC files ON my PC! Can I save a CD to the PC hard drive AS FLAC files to try this out? I need to download Squeezebox Server to my PC as well, correct? -- Ocean56 Ocean56's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84308 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] New Touch owner questions...
Thanks for the fast response! I DID switch stations between tracks, and that's when I noticed a difference. The PC I'll be using is an older Dell, but it will be strictly dedicated to my music library. If the Vortex s/w works better, I have NO problem downloading it & using it to run the Squeezebox. I looked at their forum earlier, and noticed some comments regarding using external hard drives. I'll have to research that further... -- Ocean56 -------- Ocean56's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84302 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] New Touch owner questions...
My family totally surprised me and got me a Touch for Christmas! I've got it set up now and streaming from my Linksys router to my stereo system - it was simple and easy to do. But I have some questions: 1. Will the quality of my internet connection and/or the broadcast quality of either an HD radio station or Internet radio station affect the sound? I'm asking because I noticed that every once in awhile, the sound doesn't seem to be as good from one song to another. 2. I want to use an old PC (strictly dedicated to this music project), an external HD, and start loading my CDs on it, as well as Squeezebox Server. Can I download the Vortex (?) Linux program TO that PC, AND use an external USB drive? I've browsed through the forum, and see conflicting opinions. Or am I better off simply using XP, the Squeezebox program, and the external HD? 3. Do I need to only choose a certain brand of HD for the external drive?

And I can connect directly to the AUX ports in my receiver with the Squeezebox?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Newbie with Questions for the Experts
This is what I want to do when I get a Squeezebox... 1. Use an old PC to run the Squeezebox server. 2. Buy a large external HD to rip CDs to. 3. Also be able to stream Internet radio stations (I have wireless). 4. Play all of the above through my receiver. Can I do that? -- Ocean56 Ocean56's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83244 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

So I could 1. Get a Touch 2. Load SBS on, say, my laptop...3. Connect a large USB hard drive to said laptop and download my CDs to it (in FLAC or hi-resolution format)...4.

Hi, this is my first post! I don't have a Touch - YET. I have a couple of questions... 1. Can I connect an NAS to the Touch and download CDs to it? 2. Will I be able to connect the touch to my wireless router and stream Internet radio stations to my stereo receiver?
