If done properly, no, lossless is lossless. With your volume issue, here is a quick (albeit unscientific) test: With Touch volume set at 100%, try playing a high quality Internet Radio feed, see if there is a big difference in volume between your ripped music and the internet stream. Set your amp/receiver volume very low to begin with. Search for AVRO or ETN or RealDJ on your Touch for a decent quality high bitrate stream for comparison. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83544 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

However, the problem I've encountered is that the pre-sets don't stick. In other words, I set them up, I test them out right after to make sure they work. But then, I go and play some music from my SB server, or I play a Pandora radio station, or some other type of activity. The next day, I go to play the pre-set and none of them work anymore.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch with USB drive : mastering TinySB
The Touch's OS is Linux, but it certainly is not a regular Linux distribution. It is customized for the Touch's limited hardware and specialized purpose of serving music. I haven't followed the details closely, but I am pretty sure you would first have to install (and possibly build) the client software for accessing the network drive onto the Touch. Then you would need to configure it so that the music library's SQL database is stored on an SD card or USB drive inserted in the Touch, because you definitely don't want all the traffic to/from the db going over the network for performance reasons. Search these forums and you will find at least one example of someone who managed to mount an external drive on TinySBS via NFS. As I recall it wasn't easy (your main question), and it wasn't clear that performance was satisfactory. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
