Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Won't Play SD Card
>From what OS are you copying your files . * You are 100% sure that the card is not in read only mode . * No strange file permissions . * How are they formatted . i know that 64 gB cards don't work, but not why. there is some "modern" variants of SD cards the Touch are incompatible with, again I don't know why , or which ones. Workarounds , the Touch is not your portable player rigth, I guess some got the impression that you lugged around the Touch. Copy the files to your local squeezebox server that you already run for your classic and listen to them that way ? and listen to the cards in your portable ? or keep copies of the files on an USB drive ? Both these workarounds actually lets you listen to the music, they work. It would be interesting to use SSH and do a ls -la on the files and directories . Another idea would be to try to see if a bug in the Touch mounts the card in read only mode. just for kicks power it down insert card power it up a 0.01% idea but who knows. i migth just try with some card I have around from my cameras to see whats happening.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Won't Play SD Card
I think there's been some misunderstanding about the number of flac files I've got, what I want SD cards for, what I expect the Touch to do and what I've done to try to get things to work. I've got almost 500 GB of flac files on a hard drive. I know SD cards aren't big enough to hold my whole library. I don't want to haul that drive around though. And I want to have music files to listen to on my personal player. So I've got a handful of 32 GB SD cards with what averages out to be 100 CDs on each. They play great in my player and on my computer. They're 21st century storage media for 21st century hardware. Not obsolete like cassettes or floppy drives. And I'd like to be able to play them in the Touch sometimes. I haven't seen any "workarounds" from anybody that solved my problem. Recognizing that a full 32 GB SD card could be a problem itself, I took a new 16 GB card and put just a few files on it. Didn't help. See my 11/1 message for details. If somebody's got other things to try, post them and I'll give them a try. I've also spent about 2 hours on the phone with a SB tech trying to resolve this. He finally gave up and said the unit should be exchanged. I bought the Touch for 2 main reasons. One was that it was supposed to have a better DAC than my Classic. The other was the ability to play SD cards. The touch screen is no use to me. I'm riled up about this problem because I paid good money for a Touch that doesn't do much more for me than my Classic does. My desires may be different than most/all the rest of you. But they're legit and Logitech said the Touch could do what I wanted. When we couldn't get it to work, they offered to exchange it and then tried to disregard their offer. I started this thread because I think Logitech is no fun to do business with. If any of you are satisfied with your Touch and your dealings with Logitech, good for you. But you're out of line to belittle my expectations and my efforts.

I agree it should be fixed or dropped as a listed feature. agree that logitech should drop the idea that the touch works with SD card or USB drive (except perhaps to note that there is "beta" limited potential use for the interested user).

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Experiences TinySC on 7.6
Jean, I am well over 8k files - I'd say 17k. Ext powered 3.5" HDD. Files reorganized in /Artist/Album/Track.___ structure; NTFS; small cover arts - .jpg from 500x500 to 300x300 (but kept under or 'round 30-35kB size) put in /Album folders besides tracks (with the log file). What is not essential/temporary there I usually put aside in .zip (to avoid it being catalogued). The point is : it works on 7.5.4, on 7.6.x and up no way (though I also noticed the improvement in the process with 7.7). -- congole __ SB Touch; DVD-1920; Revolver SEE+ Sumiko BluePoint; L-405 (impr.); VTL straight-line (impr.); T-240 (impr.); GX-95; AD-F640Z; S-520. congole's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89167 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Won't Play SD Card
More to the point, the OP seems to have given up on suggestions to try to get the SD and USB working. There are things that can be done to improve the odds, and who knows, he could be one of the lucky minority. Andy, if you want assistance, let us know. But if you just want to kvetch, it's not really a useful place to do it, because asking for your money back or 'threatening' to go to Sonos ring pretty hollow in a user-to-user forum. Then again, usefulness was never a necessary part of kvetching. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91228 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch with USB drive : mastering TinySB
Hi, I think it's time for a quick update... A few weeks ago, I updated to 7.6.1. I had terrible time with the initial full scan, and it took me many server restart to get through the full scan. I commented on my experience here : http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=652049#post652049 After that initial painful experience, 7.6.1 ended up to be much more enjoyable than 7.5.4. The navigation though the database feels definitely faster than 7.5.4, and when I start playing track the song info and artwork take much less time to appear. Partial scans worked without a glitch. Some features like search and player synchronisation that I never managed to make work in 7.5.4 are now working properly, and I must admit I'm now using synchronisation a lot. I could not be more pleased. Yesterday, I've upgraded to 7.7 (TinyLMS ?). The upgrade was very smooth. After rebooting to 7.7, it decided to rescan my music from scratch (full scan - 8k tracks). The scan went through without a glitch first time, I did not time it but it took probably around 25 minutes. And TinyLMS is now working beautifully. One reason the scan may have succeeded first time with 7.7 may be that in the mean time, I've disabled Samba (export Windows share), and that may have freed up enough memory to make a difference. However, the scan code has definitely changed between 7.6.1 and 7.7, as we now have nice scan progress messages on the screen, similar to they way they were in 7.5.4 and earlier, instead of the weird upper-case strings in 7.6.1. I must admit I did not retry another full scan with 7.7. So, I can't be sure what made the difference, but I suspect 7.7 is better... Anyway, people having problem with the scan may want to check if disabling disk sharing helps. >From my very limited testing, it looks like 7.7 behaves as good 7.6.1, with fixes to the scanner. I would personally recommend TinySB users to upgrade to 7.7, because to me it has the best of 7.6.1 and 7.5.4. Have fun...

Now that the Logitech Media Server is indexing images as well it would be nice if I could use those in the image viewer screensaver.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch remote question
As I mentioned in another thread recently, I bought a 7" Anroid 2.2 tablet from Amazon in the UK for £70 which is about $110. It runs the Anroid Market but I wasn't able to find any of the well-known Squeezebox controller apps (Logitech's app and SqueezeCommander) there so I assumed that there were some compatibility issues. SlideME was more understanding (or just keener to take my money) so I downloaded SqueezeCommander which I'm more than happy with. Once I've selected my music, I can surf and check my e-mail to my heart's content, which is exactly why I bought the tablet in the first place. My only word of warning with the cheap tablets is that the battery life is not enormous - I get two or three hours out of mine before it needs plugging in again.
