On my Touch, I only have FLAC files and I've very careful about my setup. One of the reason I only use FLAC and Vorbis is my mistrust for ID3 tags, I feel that between the incompatible versions and various restrictions, ID3 is a mess. ID3v1 is strictly ASCII, no 'foreign' characters, so you may want to make sure you don't have ID3v1 tags. However, only ID3v2 version v2.4 truly solve internationalisation with proper support of UTF-8. I personally don't know what to recommend, using only ID3v2 v2.4 would seems the way to go but it's not supported by every tool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id3 http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/BeginnersGuideToTagging Also, TinySB requires care, planning and patience to work properly, especially with the number of files you are trying to use. I've shared my experience, you may want to implement my advices : http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070 Lastly, I've head that 7.6 has optimisation for the database that may help with large collection, however I have not tried that version...

another tip is to organise music like one folder per album /artist/album/track . it is never a good idea to have one folder with 25k files in it . 7.6 has solved most unicode character problems, but as it is a beta it can be to buggy sometimes for other reasons.. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT with USB Hard Drive
Thank you toby10 and dasmueller, both of you are very kind that you're trying to help but i already gave it up. Right now im using the 7.5.4-r9408 firmware. I also tried that beta versions available at the development site and older versions too. As for the folder item - its not an folder browser, it uses database for storing/indexing the folder/file names and you can see them just after the Tiny server start because it is the first search done by the db engine. I can see them too - until the Tiny server crash in the indexing process. I even probably know why its still crashing again and again - its probably caused by the mixed id3 tags and non standard ascii characters (im not native english speaker as you may noticed from my bad english :-) ) in the misc places like file/folder/id3 text info (ntfs disk format, tried two different 2.5" usb hdd, wd 1TB and samsung 500GB). I dont have aeons to sort every id3 tag in my archive. Folder player works different way - it just only reads >actual directory< files and subdirs names to RAM everytime you enter that directory with no db server involved. You are also right that many of us dont experience those problems, probably because a perfect shape of their archives. I believe that my Touch is in perfect hw condition, like yours. As the temporary solution right now im using my pc as server (Win7 64bit, i3, Server version 7.5.4-r32171) with all related pros and cons - i need to start that pc every time i want to listen to my music (which drives me mad) but at least it works. Sometimes im experiencing that "empty" bug when trying to play some of my files.. Many of those bugs are already reported and maybe they will be fixed in the future fw releases but i truly dont believe, that Tiny server included in the Touch to support USB drives will ever be stable and fully usable without restrictions. Finally im sorry about that negative note that you must feel from my post but after reading thru almost all related posts in this forum and spending many many hours trying to run Tiny server i feel just like that.. -- Brokator Brokator's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88143 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Lacie Starck ext powered 2TB hard drive and SBT
Some basic Touch USB / SD Troubleshooting USB or SD card devices - Check the formatting of the device, Touch supported formats: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 - Touch can only see/use a single partition, format as a single partition - Remove any included device utilities as these can cause issues - Make sure there is at least 10% free space (20% even better) - Remove any non-music related files (videos, documents, programs, pictures, data, etc ) - Attach device directly to your computer and run basic maintenance utilities (disk cleanup, error checking, defrag) - Place a small, single folder of music on the device for initial testing (why have it scanning for hours if it isnt going to complete the scan) USB HD - Try an external USB power source, HD power supply or a powered USB hub. (Touch may not have enough bus power to power the USB HD) - Try a different USB cable - Sleep mode can cause issues (may have to completely rescan HD every time it wakes) - If you turn OFF Touch or HD, or unplug HD, Touch must completely rescan the entire HD -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88169 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
