I've been running Squeezebox Server WHS plug-in since it was made, almost a year ago. It works perfectly well. Just be sure to install the plug-in version, not the standard Windows version (although the latter works well also). -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Cyrus 8xp - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus Themis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71346 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Windows Home Server works quite well as an SBS host. Since it's meant to be on 24/7 (or close to it) you never need to boot up computers in order to listen to your music. I'd advise keeping your music library on there as well, it simplifies things greatly (as well as being duplicated if you choose for safety). -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.5 beta + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet Squeezeplay on all PCs gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71346 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I love the flexibility and ease of use in listening to my music I've got by having Squeezebox/es. The Duet did take a while to get working well, but 7.4.2 for Windows certainly has made using it a pleasurable experience. -- kesey kesey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Sigh, HFS is out, I just disabled it a few minutes ago.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
I don't think it's relevant whether or not HFS+ is a valuable addition to the Linux community as a whole. It's obvious that it isn't. Linux is a marginal player at best. It's also not very relevant if a Logitech engineer thinks it makes marketing sense to have that support in the product they're working on. What's relevant is whether or not HFS+ would make a valuable addition for Logitech who is trying to sell a commercial product to as many people as possible. Does it make financial sense to contract out to get it done? I can probably make a business case for it if I were being paid for my time. Whether or not a drive comes "pre-formatted" isn't as relevant as what format do customers normally format external drives themselves, whether manually or when prompted by the system. NTFS pre-formatted volumes are going to be reformatted HFS+ when used in a Mac. If you don't value Mac customers, that's fine, but not likely something that should be bragged about in the forums. Logitech as a corporate entity clearly doesn't share that same view as numerous business units have made it a priority to support Mac OS. That includes the streaming audio unit since SBS runs perfectly well in Mac OS. If smaller companies like SageTV can add HFS+ support to their streaming devices, I'm sure Logitech could make it work.

Re: Play audio CD�s via USB on the Touch...
I have a plugin CDplayer which plays audio cd's on PC's through SBS. To make it work on Touch would require porting the audio cd playing application icedax/cdda2wav. I have plugged a USB cd drive into Touch and there is some recognition of it as a USB drive although I am not sure if there are more CD drivers needed for the kernel. After that there is the question of performance - is there enough CPU to handle SBS, Touch display and also rip audio from CD. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71352 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

It is not possible with the shipped Logitech.

Hi! Is it possible to attach a USB-CD/DVD player to the Touch and play audio CD´s? We got a couple of hundred of cd´s not ripped yet and my wife wants to listen to them "the usual way" until they alll are ripped! The idea is to use an old external USB2.0-CD/DVD drive attached to the USB port of the Touch.

I think John Swenson has direct experience with this (if your listening:~) I'm really only interested in sending 16/44.1 into SPDIF of my DAC. I want the best possible(lowest jitter) signal into the Dac and don't mind going through a steep learning curve getting there. I'm now storing all music remotely on a server running Windows Home Server. I recently bought a FIT-PC and before going through set-up for a NetJack based set-up, I was wondering if the new Squeezebox Touch could end up being superior? If I used the Fit-PC I would still have to get the USB out to a SPDIF. I was thinking of a couple of the new Async converter units like the Musiland 01usd but even then how would my Dac communicate in an Async fashion with it? I mean the Musiland (or others like it) might control the signal from the computer but on the other side what happens on the dac end if your only using them as USB/SPDIF converters and not Dac's? -- miab miab's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34270 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71347 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
