It's not as flexible, but there are two font sizes.  The smaller, by
default, is used when you're using the touch interface and the larger
when you're using the IR remote.

One thing that may help viewing from a distance is that there are
several Now Playing screens to choose from.  The default NP screen shows
artwork on the left, and text for track title, artist and album on the
right.  You can switch that to a text only screen so that more text fits
on the screen, which is especially helpful when the larger text is being
displayed.

The larger font size, however, is smaller than the largest size used on
the Classic ("Full").  It's more like the next size down ("Standard").

It does support WAV.  Also, if the alarm works halfway decently it will
be competition to the Radio as well.  Probably won't sound as good
(although it is stereo), but how many people care how good their clock
radio sounds?

It would behoove Logitech to consider fixing the alarm bugs in the
Radio sooner rather than later...

[SlimDevices: Touch] font sizes display Touch

2009-12-12 Thread Rocdefrost

Does anyone know if you can choose various font sizes with the Touch as
with the Classic? I sit 6 meter from my equipment so a large font size
is handy.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as server

2009-12-12 Thread realmassy

I currently use a duet and an external HD attached to my server: file
system is EXT3. What about the Touch? Will I be able to plug my drive
without formatting to FAT or NTFS? Thanks.

I don't think that's what he means. 

I think he means using the touch+HDD as a basic NAS to serve files to
other devices on the network. 

The touch runs Samba, so files can be transfered to and from the HDD. I
have played a few audio and low bitrate video files on my laptop that
were stored on the Touch's HDD, but I have not done any real extensive
testing. It certianly won't run the ps3 server software, but if the
device supports samba it can be used as a NAS to some limited degree. I
will probably be using it as an extra backup for my photos etc.

Oh, that would be a real competitor to the SB Touch.

The obvious disadvantages it has compared to SB Touch:
- No FLAC support (probably no lossless format support I'm guessing), I
suspect this also means that the audio circuits isn't a good as the
Touch.
- No third party support
- Probably no support for synchronized playback with multiple players.

However, even though it has some disadvantages I wonder if most users
really care, the advantages like large screen, lower price and support
for video should look pretty appealing to most users.

I suspect the HP Dreamscreen 100 might look more appealing than SB
Touch for most users doesn't already have an investment in Squeezebox
devices.
