Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch problems
I mentioned some problems I was having with the internal server in this thread and a Toshiba Canvio drive was recommended. I got one and am happy to report my problems seem to have cleared. Specifically, I went from a Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable External USB 2.0 500GB Hard Drive to a Toshiba Canvio Plus 750GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive. Neither drive is externally powered. My library is about 10,000 songs in a mix of AAC, MP3, and FLAC. One thing that is different in the new setup is that the drive has just audio files. My problematic drive had a bunch of non-media files, too. While I am not claiming to know the perfect recipe, using a hard drive "known to work" by others in this forum seems to have helped me. I am also relieved that the internal server isn't inherently limited to a small library. Again, luck may differ, but for me things are looking up. -- asher asher's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78386 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Is Touch bitperfect at less than 100% volume on 16/44.1?
The touch is bitperfect at 100% volume. Search these forums for "digital attenuation" as to opinions on the use of less than 100% volume, when using the analog outputs. It makes for interesting reading. If you are using the touch as a digital transport, use 100% volume, then what you get out is what was put in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Brightness Logic
I noticed an option for testing the ambient light sensor - Settings->Advanced->Factory Test->Ambient Light Sensor. There are 2 channels and I'm seeing some unusual behavior. When my room is completely dark the sensors read zero which I would expect. But then they start bouncing between zero and 65529. Being a programmer I'm suspecting that the 65529 is the sensor going negative but being interpreted incorrectly somewhere and the most significant bit being treated as unsigned so its getting a very large number instead of a negaive number. This is just a guess and I'm sure that most forum readers will not know what I'm trying to say. I'm hoping that this information will be usefull to one of the developers, of course I can be completely wrong. Both channels are behaving this way. When the lights are on the value for the channels always stay positive. -- fred7 fred7's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79057 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

The Touch successfully installed the firmware and rebooted. I waited for the Touch to start and show the main menu. I turned on the hard drive which was detected. I then started (tiny) Squeesebox server and after about 5 seconds it failed with the message "Local music service has been stopped due to a problem." After several attempts at rebooting, reinstalling the firmware, removing the .squeezebox folder (i thought it might have been corrupt causing the server to fail) I waved the white flag and installed an older firmware. I guess this will need to be looked at. Which begs the question, when prompted to download the latest firmware, how can we choose 'No, not yet'? The only option appears to be 'OK'which starts the installation which may not be at a convenient time. The Touch is 'locked out' until the latest firmware is installed.

They may have worked in itunes, because things were ripped there and placed in various places that ITUNES knew about, but no one else! I just spent a weekend at a friends house "fixing" his music setup. He had "backed up" his old harddrive to a new hardrive and somehow a large part of his music ended up as hidden files buried deep, deep, deep in an odd directory structure under a "backup" directory. I eventually found it and fixed things. He also had downloaded or ripped songs with itunes that ended up in all sorts of weird locations. Once things were moved, nothing could be found. Of course I consolidated everything and pointed to the right directories, so for now he's good. But without 1. good tags and 2. good organization, you're likely to have problems. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79118 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

For me it is definitely just "fade out" and "fade in and out" which produce the gap, "crossfade" and "fade in" are ok and the song plays to the end without a gap. And "smart crossfade" makes a difference here as well in that it does not produce a gap (with "fade out" or "fade in and out") if two consecutive tracks of the same album are played. So, for me the symptom really looks like "short gap when fade out starts". -- Stefan Bellon ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME (music) PLAYER
Based on my experiences with my Touch: 1) It worked out of the box - once connected, it updated firmware, setup was relatively simple, and it scanned my media library without issue (USB-HDD). 2) Once I started having issues, if I didn't know about this forum, I would have been screwed. Many problems are easily explained, but there doesn't seem to be a decent FAQ for all the issues that have come up. 3) Library management & tagging is ultra important, and there should be a definitive - if you want it to search and act like this, tag your files as follows. Most of my subsequent issues with my library were due to the recycle bin on the drive, and inconsistent tagging of files. Now that I have figured out the way I need to tag, no issues. And I erase my entire HDD and copy my "adjusted" library from my PC. So, I would say that if you expect everything to work without any problems, you are optimistic.

Once you have the firmware upgraded you don't have to use the beta server you just installed on the computer. In this case its just being used to install the beta firmware. There ARE other ways but this is the easiest.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Re-Buffering
Oddly, I can run a Random Song Mix without problems but if I try to run a saved Playlist, I get the same re-buffering. This can't possibly be due to to actual data transfer between the devices so can only be down to poor software & insufficient processing power in the Touch. Surely the software should ensure a reasonably full buffer before it commences to play? Crapping out after 10 seconds suggests that something is very wrong indeed. I just hope 7.6 arrives before my Touch is due back to Logitech & that it addresses these issues, but I'm not optimistic. -- rbz5416 rbz5416's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12089 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79055 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

don't miss the point that my completely non-technical brother has his touch working using the embedded "tinySC" sofware, and an old external USB drive with 54,000 tracks with NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER. I have one too with no issues whatsoever (but in my case, I am using it with a SbS running 24/7, so this is not a fair comparison).

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME (music) PLAYER
As to the Touch being a NMP, it is more then ready for Prime Time. Both the analog and digital outs are better then any player to date other then the Transporter. As a digital transport, it is killer and gives the Transporter a run for its money. If you like the Touch, I say buy one and order a Vortexbox Appliance while you're at it. For $670, you end up with an all-in-one dedicated music server/ripper and the Touch player. No WiFi, No Network, only three connections to the Touch (power, Ethernet, Audio/Digital out), only two connections to the Vortexbox (once setup its headless so only Ethernet and power). For $785, one gets a 2TB dedicated music server and Touch. The Vortexbox uses very little energy and is fairly small. At smaller then 12X9.5X3 inches, it will fit on just about any 19-inch audio shelf along with the Touch. If the Server just has be very small check out the Vortexbox 500GB Micro. The audio out of the Touch is fantastic, so as to its primary and main job of being a NMP it is wonderful. Can there be issues using the TinySC feature, sure especially if one is asking it to do to much or wanting everything that is in SBS. I use TinySC all the time with USB drives without problem one. Will it work with every USB drive out there, no it will not. And also look how I am using it without problem, in my SUV as my main music player, at the beach home, and the cabin on the weekends. Granted as soon as they have 5 or so in stock, I can stop moving my Touch around so much, but for now taking it out of the house, putting it in the Expedition, taking it into the cabin, back into the SUV for the trip home, and back inside once home, is hassle free other then the moving. One last option is to buy the Touch and a USB drive that is known to play well with TinySC. But if you want all the bells and whistles of SqueezeBoxServer, they are just not going to be there because as a 'feature' TinySC doesn't have them. A dedicated Music Server is in my opinion the way to go. It gives on everything and all of the Squeezebox experience. A dedicated server can be as small and as simple as one wants. I run a WiFi router with my main system, but I don't have Internet or other computers on the Network (unless I want to use the WebUI). Its just my dedicated Music Server, Ethernet into the WiFi router, Transporter Ethernet to WiFi router, 2 SB3's Ethernet to router, the rest connect by WiFi. It could just as easily be a Vortexbox Micro, one Ethernet cable, and a Touch! Or add a small WiFi router and add Squeezeboxes where you want them! For me the WiFi lets me put a Squeezebox just about anywhere. It allows me to use iPeng on my iPhone and lets me use the WebUI from any laptop or PC that I let see the Squeezebox WiFi Network. I also do this at the cabin on long weekends. I bring the Touch in from the Expedition, use my 1TB Toshiba USB drive, I have an old D-Link router I keep there, and bring a SB Radio and Boom alone. I use a pair of AudioEngine A5s with the Touch. I use the Touch and iPeng to control the 3 Squeezeboxes. No Internet at the cabin, the WiFi network is just so the music from the USB drive plugged into the Touch can get to the other Squeezebox players. I have been doing this for over 6 months without issue. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79118 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME (music) PLAYER
I think the complaints are related to three different things: 1. People that try to use the built-in server with a medium or large library 2. People that relies on MySB.com central server 3. People that have used the large fonts on SB3/Classic and can't see the text on the Touch because it's visibility from a distance isn't as good as a SB3/Classic If you don't fall into one of the above categories, I can strongly recommend you to get the Touch. It's definitely the best Squeezebox that has ever been in my home and I also have a Classic, Boom, Duet and Radio. However, if you fall in one of the above mentioned categories, I would be very careful to get the Touch at the moment. It's probably better to let the software mature a bit more if you need the built-in server or relies on MySB.com. If you have some specific feature which is required for your happiness, it might be worth to verify if it exists on the Touch. There are still a few features on Classic/Boom/Transporter that doesn't exist on the Touch. The firmware doesn't have as high quality as Classic yet, but as long as you have a separate computer with Squeezebox Server and doesn't have some unusual setup, I wouldn't worry about that. Honestly, I can't think of any bug that distrubs on my music listening experience. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79118 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME (music) PLAYER
I'm not discounting anyone's problems here, but just to report some alternative info: My brother purchased a TOUCH (his first SB product). I walked him through setup over the phone. Within about 15 minutes, he had it up and running with updated firmware, etc. He is using the internal "tinySC" with an attached harddrive (not sure what it is, but a 3 year or so old, separately powered 500GB harddrive with about 54,000 mp3/aac tracks). I had him let the drive scan overnight. As of the next morning, he's been using the Touch 24/7 with the attached drive, running tinySC, and also listening to Pandora and various internet radio. He's reported zero issues over the last 3 weeks. He's running 7.5 software and is connecting with WIFI (about 70% signal). To him this is all just magic. He probably would have been fine setting it up without my help. The only things I really had him do that he wouldn't have known, was to (1) move his router slightly (that increased his wifi strength from about 45 to 70) and (2) NOT TOUCH ANYTHING OR USE THE PLAYER until it had a chance to do a full music scan off the USB drive. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79118 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME (music) PLAYER
No, you're not being a worry wart(!), but your concerns are valid. I, too, am very disappointed with things as they stand, and I have spent half a grand on two SBTs with the initial expectations that they would do what they say on the tin -- or rather what the website wording states. They don't, and my initial posts were met with disdain by several on the forum when I mentioned consumer regulations in the UK, designed primarily to protect consumers from companies selling products that are not fit for purpose and/or do not perform according to how they are described on the vending website. In fact, I bet if we were to conduct a poll among SBT users on here, as to whether they are satisfied with their purchase / whether the SBT does what they expected it to / whether the SBT performs all features as expected, we'd get a mixture of responses. So, yes, I would hold off on getting one, at least until the developers have sorted out the firmware and have addressed the numerous problematic issues detailed herein, which seem mostly associated with HDD recognition / reliabile connectivity issues. Anyone who says this is nonsense -- well, just read the numerous posts to this effect. If I know someone personally who is looking to buy a media streamer / network music player that purports to do what the website states, in this case, and I quote verbatim from Logitech's website: "You can access music and pictures stored on flash drives and memory cards." and "It doesnt matter if your library includes 100 tracks or 100,000." -- well, I can't simply recommend it with the software in its current incarnation, again based on both my experience and that of other users. Would you buy a car, knowing that some owners have had to return that same model to the garage / go on a car-user forum / call customer support to get it to work reliably, because it drove fine for 100 miles, but then stopped working?

I've had my Touch working in my system for a month and a half now as a replacement for by SB3 (Classic) and it works excellently as a player for my existing Squeezebox server system. The sound quality of the Touch by itself was so good that I chose to sell my external Lavry DAC. So, just used as a player with an external server, I don't know they have much tweaking left to do. The knotty part is if you wish to use the Touch's internal server. In following the threads (and doing a bit of experimenting myself), this is where more work is needed if you plan on using a large external USB drive directly plugged into the Touch. However, even in that situation, not everyone has a problem. Keep in mind that Logitech has a 30 day return policy.

[SlimDevices: Touch] NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME (music) PLAYER
Like many of you, I was excited at the prospect of buy a Touch for some time. And like some, my interest is primarily in connecting it to an external hard drive, rather than to a wireless computer-based system. Convenience, high fidelity, and stylish, affordable package - the Touch seemed to offer it all. However, after reading the many threads on this forum with informative posts from beta-testers and other folks with the technical know-how to understand what's going wrong and why, I can't see myself buying a Touch now, or in the near future. Even with the many delays due to software development, I get the feeling that the Touch is far from ready to provide a reliable and enjoyable experience to someone like me who knows good sound, but who lacks the technical knowledge to identify and fix bugs, or who has $1000-2000 to purchase a more sophisticated alternative (if there is one). Sorry to be such a party-pooper. I really wanted a Touch-EHD component to add to my modest but great-sounding stereo system, but with all I've read here from you guys, I think a purchase now would just lead to disappointment. Please, if you have the time and the interest, share your thoughts on my dilemma. Am I being realistic or a worry-wart? What would you do in my situation?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Newbie with album artwork issue
I would like to add to the answer above. I run 3 classics, 1 Duet and a Touch, using version 7.5. Since the Touch has been connected to my system (Windows Home Server), the artwork has not always matched the track being played. All of my artwork is listed as Folder.jpg or Cover.jpg. This was most prevalent in CDs where there is punctuation in the title.(ripped either as MP3s or FLAC) For example "Now That's What I Call Music! 75 CD1 or CD2" Now if that was listed as " Now 75 CD1 or CD2" then the Touch showed the correct artwork. If that title was expanded to 'as printed on the CD', then the Touch would show "random" artwork. By removing the punctuation (t's & !) I get the correct artwork with each music file. This did not occur on the Duet,(running 7.4) or if it does I have not seen it (old age). So this may be a contributor to your problem, depending on what is listed on your music tags.
