The Touch has a ton more memory and a much faster CPU. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72888 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

It looks like the perfect device for what I want (need). Skipping plug-ins and all the other fancy stuff of the Duet, one would think that the basics (as mentioned before) could be run from the Duet without computer or server as well. The receiver lacks a USB connection though. -- Polar Polar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72888 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Yes. You can plug a USB hard drive into the Touch. Doing so will start up "Tiny SBS". (It even did so when I plugged in my cell phone to charge the other day...) That 'Tiny SBS' is mostly the same as 'real' SBS, major points missing: web UI and transcoding. It will gladly act as a server for other Squeezebox type devices (ie, SB2/3/Class/Receiver/Controller/Transporter/Boom/Radio and other Touches...) So, yes, you can turn off your PC and still have access to any music that is plugged into the Touch. You'd still need a computer at some point to rip or download new files (which you can drag to the Touch), or to make backups (you don't want to redo everything when your HD dies) but day to day operation doesn't need a PC. Again, yes, a Touch can act as a server for a Duet. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72888 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox Touch without computer or disk station?
Besides listening to my favorite internet radiostations (presently stored under favorites)I play - as said - only my own music collection. Does the Touch also provide a menu (like the Duet) where you can: 1)select your stored favorites 2)select random play of the own music collection (stored on a connected USB stick) and does it also display the corresponding artwork on the screen? WITHOUT having to install software on a computer or disk station (or better: without the need of a computer or disk station)? -- Polar Polar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72888 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
