Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Genre then album
No, you can't. But you should have an 'All Albums' link at the end of the artist list, which is the same thing. Just takes another step to get there. If you're using the remote you can scroll upward in a long list to get there quicker. That doesn't work in the touch interface, but it's fairly easy to get to the end of a long list by using the scroll bar. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88804 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] unable to access webpage from another client.
The Touch itself does not have a web server, so pointing a browser from another computer at the Touch's IP address will not do anything. If you want to control the Touch via a web page from another computer you need to point the browser at the computer the server is running on. The web page on the server will let you control the Touch. The outside world talks to the server and the server talks to the Touch.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Display turns on by itself
Are you sure it's not related to power outages? I am running the latest non-beta firmware and this happens on both of my Touches when the power goes out and comes back on. When the power goes out and the player is in an "Off" state, when the power comes back it ends up in an "On" state (which is usually Now Playing) and I have to turn it off. The main reason I notice is that my screen is set to turn off when it's "Off", so after a power outage the screen is no longer off. -- mbg mbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88616 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

First, it is not clear that you realize that the Touch is a music player, but it needs to be connected to an amplifier and speakers to make music. The Touch is intended to play music that is "streamed" to it from some external server. Think of it as a component, like a CD player that you would connect to an audio system. But instead of having to load a CD to play, the music is stored on a server elsewhere, and streamed to the Touch over wired or wireless Wi-Fi. The Touch lets you browse for and select the music you want to hear, then plays it and sends the music signal to your audio system, either through the RCA cables (analog) or optical (digital)connections. So you also need a music server running somewhere in order to listen to your music. The server is a computer of some sort that runs (hosts) the server software and has access to the hard drive that contains the music. You could host the server on your PC and it will work very well, but your PC will have to be running whenever you listen to music. In this case, you would connect your hard drive directly to the PC. The server software running on the PC will read the music from the hard drive and stream it to the Touch, which converts it to a music signal to play through your amplifier and speakers. The Touch can not access the hard drive over your Wi-Fi network directly. It can only work with a music server that is connected to the hard drive. If you don't want to use your PC for the music server, there are many other options. It doesn't take a very powerful computer to work for a music server, so a small NAS, or a Vortexbox, or an ATOM based computer, or even a "squeezeplug" can be used. You can read all about these on this forum. Most people try to find something that doesn't use much electrical power, so they don't mind leaving it on all the time. You need to read up a bit on the various options and ask questions and decide how you prefer to run the music server. I would suggest that to get it running first using your PC and become familiar with the music server software and the capabilities of the Touch. Then you can switch over to a NAS or Vortexbox or whatever later, using your same hard drive with your music on it. There is one more way to do it: You can directly connect your hard drive to the Touch with a USB cable. Then the Touch can play the music on the hard drive. But to do this, the Touch will be running a smaller version of the music server software. It will not be as responsive or have as many options as the external server on a computer. Some people do this and are very happy with it. It means you do not need any external computer or anything running elsewhere while using the Touch. Again, you can read about this setup and try it out to see if it is to your liking. I hope this helps get you started, and good luck with your new Touch. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Tracks finishing early and skipping to next song
I've been having this same problem for a while now. I installed the latest nightly on Windows Home Server yesterday, but this did not fix it. My music is generally purchased from iTunes, so tends to be AAC. I have tried other builds from 7.5 upwards, but have the same issue. Tracks skips randomly - some will play fine, others will skip within a few seconds of the start, or half way through. I'll have a go with some earlier ones having spotted the download page posted above for all previous versions. I'm sure I didnt have this in 6.x - but I will try from 7.3.4 and work my way downwards. Both devices I am having issues with are SB2, one is wired and one is wireless. Everything comes through fine when I play remotely using stream.mp3 across the interwebs. -- gingerneil gingerneil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80474 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
