OK it started to play my choosen album after a 5-10 minute hang, progress ? Btw sort by year sort it the wrong way the newest release at the top. for music chronologically by the oldest album first makes sense to me . In most cases in an artist/bands career the 2-4 first albums are the good ones , then they are basically running on empty and cash in from a dwindling fan base as long as they can. example who needs another rolling stones or deep purple album ? after the late 70's -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79782 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Artist scan in SBS vs. Touch's built-in server
Hi there, I have a collection of around 1000 FLAC albums on my PC, and the same collection on a WD Essential Passport plugged in my Touch. Recently I notice something strange: My Touch's built-in server has 400 only artists for 1000 albums, while for that very same collection my SBS detects 2000 artists. It seems to me that SBS regards each song artist in compilations as separate album artists, while TinySC groups them under Various Artists. If so, how can I make my SBS behave the way TinySC does (because I don't want to scroll through so many artists while browsing my collection).

[SlimDevices: Touch] My Brand New Touch Does Not Seem To Work
For the life of me I can't figure it out. None of my digital or analog AV cables fit the connector on this thing. Maybe the major online retailer sent me the UK version? I know the Brits use some funky interconnects that we don't see in the States. Even if I did have one of those SCART things, it really bothers me that the Touch only seems to play one song by one artist. I'm sure I'm going to tire of that pretty soon. One good sign, however, is the HP logo on the back of the Touch. I guess Logitech has contracted out Touch production to them. That should solve any hardware shortage problem; soon every Walmart in America will have an ample supply on hand! /irony Seriously, I hope that Logitech can trace the a**hole who did this repack through the MAC number and get me some justice. I've been tracking this thing all week waiting for it to arrive! Oh, major online retailer agreed without any issue to expedite shipping of a real Touch to me right away.
