If its actually on the Touch asking, it is a Firmware Update, not an SBS Update. Firmware updates are r and SBS production versions are 7.5.X and the next big one will most likely be 7.6.0. So if a player asks for an update/download, it is a Firmware update. If SBS on your server says it has a newer server version available, it will probably be a production SBS 7.5.X or 7.6.0 when it becomes available. But you are right in that if the player has told you it has a Firmware upgrade available and you downloaded it, you will most likely see an improvement in your player.

You must have been running the 7.6 beta version of Squeezebox Server on a computer on your network. Beta versions of the server will download beta versions of the firmware for SqueezePlay based players (Radio, Touch and the Controller). It gets even more confusing with the Touch because its firmware contains a server (aka "TinySC"). We've been told that in the 7.6 branch of the software that this internal server is based on the 7.6 beta version of the "big" Squeezebox Server. > Beta or not, good to finally be able to use the Touch as I want without > any issues.

I assume you have installed a 7.6 nightly, and therefore you will see "A new software update is available ..." messages on the player to update the firmware. It would be more appropriate, I think, for this message to say "New player firmware is available ...". I think the SBS Web UI Settings > Software Update screen doesn't help by having a single option in SBS for automatic SOFTWARE downloads. This includes the SBS software, and player FIRMWARE for Squeezeplay players.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Browsing albums sorted by artists
Well, it would help if you said what interface you were using for the part you say is working correctly. Is that the web ui? Anyway, to change the view on the Touch you need to change the settings on the Touch. As described earlier: Settings > Advanced > Album sort order. The same applies for all the SqueezeOS devices, including the Radio and the SB Controller. For that matter, even on the web ui, if you use a different browser or a different computer I am pretty sure that you need to change the setting each time. I think on the web ui the setting is maintained by a browser cookie, not by SBS. Btw, when you change the displayed sort order there is no need to rescan. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78537 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Pants - Or Am I Missing Something?
Just set up a Touch. I can live with the 100 song playlist limit in TinySC but there appears to be no easy way to import playlists from SBS. So it looks like they need to be re-created from scratch. Creating them in the first place was a 24 carat PITA through the web interface, it's going to be even worse via the touch screen or IR remote. I've tried editing them to replace the path & replace \ with / but when playing them the current playplist reports "nothing". It appears that the Touch won't play playlists from SBS either. Gives the same result of saying it's going to play but the current playlist says "nothing". Can't selectively scan a USB drive. Just unplugged the USB backup from my SBS server which has a separate folder of MP3s for portable use. SBS is configured to scan just the flac folder but TinySC seems to want to scan the whole disk leading to duplication. -- rbz5416 rbz5416's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12089 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78751 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Hi-res is no different than any other format. It can be well done and sound good, giving value over 16/44; or it can be badly executed and be a rip off. However, I do agree that if the "rip-off" tracks are too prevalent, the format will die. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Duet through Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF X-150 amp, MF V DAC3, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Physical setup of Touch
Hi, having looked at the system-pics thread as well as other places, my impression is that most who use the Touch place it alongside the amplifier, cdplayer, DAC, etc. i.e. on the rack. I also understand that the screen is not really readable from distances above approx. 2.5meters/8feet - of course, even with really long arms, thats far too much for using the Touch interface :S So I was wondering why folks do not simply place the Touch somewhere closer to their seating arrangements? I think I would do that. The only thing I can think of against, is having to run audio-cables to the rack. 2.5meters is perhaps a bit long for analouge RCA-lines. On the other hand, many are using external DAC's, and in this case a coax-run of 2.5meters is actually prefferabe (over shorter cable-runs). What have I missed, or could/should additionally consider.

Yes - install SBS 7.6 on an external server and the SBS inside the Touch will update when it connects to the external server. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
