Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Add to Playlist - nicely
Yeah, that can be annoying. Not only does such an inadvertent screen tap stop the current playback it also wipes out the playlist you were building. A suggestion of adding a user selectable safety feature was brought up but it was never implemented that I know of. i.e. After setting this Safety feature to YES, nothing could be played nor wipe out a current playlist without a Context Menu screen popping up confirming you want to play the selected track. My only suggestions are: - use the full SBS web UI to create Playlists - if using the Touch server, save the Playlist after each addition of a song/album/stream/etc... -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82938 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Play has stopped working with The New Music menu option
Hi, Now working, thanks. Rather than do everything you suggested at the same time, I started with the FULL RESCAN of the music library. I wanted to do it bit by bit in case I get the same problem again. The rescan has fixed the problem.

[SlimDevices: Touch] PC control of the Tiuch
Am I correct here? I can control my Touch from my PC by going to Remote in Mysqueezebox but I can only control radio stations and not my locally stored music on another PC (which my Touch sees via the squeezebox server). So, is there a way I can remote control the Touch and actually see what it is playing? thanks Alan -- alan sh alan sh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82944 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] PC control of the Tiuch
There are various ways you can control the Touch via your pc. The easiest is to open any web browser and point it to http://SBS_ip:9000/ , where you substitute the real IP address of your computer running Squeezebox Server in place of SBS_ip. There are also 3rd party applications, such as Moose. Or you could use Squeezeplay on the pc, and set it up to control the Touch. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82944 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch and Duet remote out of synch?
This is what's been happening to me on an almost regular basis: I use the Duet remote to control my Touch. Every now and then, when I press pause on the remote, and then later on I press the play button on the remote again, the remote is showing the 'Now Playing' details, while the Touch screen remains in idle. Pressing pause and then right after that pressing play on the remote rectifies this, but I'm wondering why is this glitch happening so often? -- magiccarpetride magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82948 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Meaning you can customize what a quick button tap of that item does? i.e. I can set a quick tap of the listed item to either play or add to playlist? These three choices are all available via the Touch. If you press hold the item those same menu selections you describe for iPeng pop up on the Touch's screen. The issue is that sometimes you intend to press hold but inadvertently end up not holding so then the item just starts to play (and thus, inadvertently erases any playlist you were building). -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82938 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Add to Playlist - nicely
I had the Touch for months now, and I still have trouble with adding Albums or individual tracks. I'll have to read the Feature Guide. Hmmm... It seems you CAN'T add a single track. From page 10: Note: When you select a song that is part of the album, the entire album becomes part of your Current Playlist. A curious approach. I'd have thought that selecting individual tracks/songs to add to a playlist would be highly desirable. -- R Johnson R Johnson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82938 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

It was curious that in the Stereophile Touch review, the reviewer found that PC via ethernet to Touch to Ayre via tweaked USB output as the best Mo Fo sound he has heard bla, bla, bla, etc. etc. IMHO, I give credit to the Touch for that assessment vs. the USB protocol in the Ayre. From my initial review reads - USB has some growing to do. SPDIF has its own problems which are well documented. So, anything I find on USB, in particular the real contenders - unsync protocols - I'm right there. USB - right now - seems like the audiophile lazy mans way out in some ways. I may be missing the point.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Finally found the cause of multiple music stoppage problems
So, I've experienced several of the issues that other folks have posted about here and in other SB forums. I've had music stop playing (though it still looks like it should be playing, but wouldn't restart), having to switch to mysb.com and back to get things restarted and a few other annoying but related glitches. I may have a solution---maybe not the only solution, but one that's certainly solved my problem! In short, it's NOT been a Touch/Logitech problem, it's been a Win 7 problem. Even though I'm running my computer that runs SBS 24/7 and have set the Power Management option on it to never sleep, my sense was that something was still causing the NIC card to sleep anyway, thus terminating the connection from SBS to the Touch, causing the seemingly random stops in the music, etc. Once the music stopped, it appeared that switching to msyb.com and back to My Music (SBS server) sent a WOL command which then woke the NIC card up. I had played endlessly with the Power Management options for the NIC card which are accessed in Win 7 through the Device Manager. None of the combinations seemed to work to keep it awake---even though I had the allow the computer to turn [the Nic] off to save power UNCHECKED! So after poring through a bunch of other tech and Microsoft forums the past few days, stumbled on something which seems to have finally done the trick. Under the Advanced tab in the Device Manager for the NIC (which is an Intel 82567V-2 Gigabit), there is an option called the System Idle Power Saver which was enabled. I changed it to disabled and that has finally prevented the NIC card from going to sleep and, thus, kept SBS and the Touch happily connected. Now, maybe this is completely obvious to everybody else but I'm not a technical wizard at all and it seems, shall we say, a bit obscure. Why, Microsoftwhen you choose the the never sleep option in the computer's Power Mangement, it still allows the NIC to sleep, is baffling; why, when you UNcheck the allow the computer to turn off device does the NIC still turn off; and why the option to really, really disable the NIC's sleep state is in the Advanced tab instead of in the Power Mangement tab in the NIC device manager is all just plain lame, Microsoft (I've self-censored, here)! I feel like I just trapped the annoying mouse in the attic that's been running around for months in the middle of the night and waking me up. Plus--and even better---I won't have to do any more wife hand-holding/explaining when the music inexplicably stopsalways, coincidentally, about 20 min or so after I've stopped using the computer. ;) Off to play around with my Revue, now, heheheh. -- rgro Rick System information Touch w/Hardware V 5, SBC running 7.5.1 r9009.
