Glad to see it helps you as much as it did for me. Two extra pieces if you want: 1- if you want to make these changes "permanent" (resist reboot), I would avise to create a squeezeos-boot.sh file that contains the commands below, at the root of your disk (/media/mmcblk0p1 in your case) CUT HERE #!/bin/sh /media/mmcblk0p1/bin/busybox mkswap /media/mmcblk0p1/bin/swapfile /media/mmcblk0p1/bin/musybox swapon /media/mmcblk0p1/bin/swapfile CUT HERE and make this script executable chmod a+x /media/mmcblk0p1/squeezeos-boot.sh This was not enough in my case. The init script that executes squeezeos-boot.sh on every mounted device is executed too early and the USB disk is not yet mounted at this time. The USB key must be faster but if it is not fast enough (check with "free" after reboot), just insert a "sleep 10" line in /etc/init.d/rcS just before the block in charge of the squeezeos-boot.sh execution. With the USB disk, I actually need a "sleep 20". 2- don't eject the SD card without turning swap off using the following command: /media/mmcblk0p1/bin/busybox swapoff /media/mmcblk0p1/bin/swapfile -- treepleks treepleks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52051 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

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox Touch and NAS
I got it today, and I have to say: this is an amazing device! Setting it up was a breeze. I connected it to my Home Theater system: a flagship Pioneer receiver and Axiom speakers. I connected it to my network through ethernet cable and it started to work right away. I was able to connect it to my NAS Apple Lossless music files via my old laptop and the Logitech Media Server installed on it. It worked great, great quality of music and no buffering or playback stops. Very happy with the setup! Thank you for all your help guys and for your suggestions. The setup is fine for now. I will certainly look in the future to add other devices in my setup, possibly a NAS (or other device you have suggested) with SB server built in, an external DAC and so on. -- thyname thyname's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52161 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92214 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I would certainly try, first, to delete the TT 3.0 files if you can find them easily, then reinstall TT. If, when you then try to reinstall TT, it tells you it's still there, the easiest way to for sure get rid of TT is to factory reset the Touch. -- rgro Rg System information Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Touch (wired) via optical > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV Signature amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.

The factory reset will wipe the TT files clean. Fortunately, if you don't need to do the factory reset, installing TT is fairly simple and quickredoing all the Touch's settings after a reset is what takes most of the time. -- rgro Rg System information Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Touch (wired) via optical > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV Signature amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Software updates
The latest server is 7.7.1 - mysb.com has also the same settings. So, if you don't update, then you are always going to get a prompt whenever you go via mysb.com. If you update then switch off automatic updates, you won't get a firmware prompt until mysb.com is updated sometime in the future. -- castalla 1 Touch - Muse M50 EX TPA3123 T-Amp Mini - Acoustics Q10 speakers - 2 duff ears - purfek! 1 Logitech Radio + remote - purfek! castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92296 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Klaus? > anyone have ideas what's going on? TT is working fine for me on 7.7.1. Maybe try deleting and reinstalling the the whole tt file. In the past, the Touch firmware updates overwrote the old firmware, necessitating a complete reinstall of the mods. I actually had a problem with the Touch's firmware update hanging up and wound up needing to do a complete Touch factory reset. Of course, this also required reinstalling the TT file and redoing all off the Touch's configuration mods. A bit of a pain, for sure, but at least I know that TT 3.0 will work, given a fresh install. -- rgro Rg System information Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Touch (wired) via optical > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV Signature amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Software updates
Using the Touch's own server is a very good workaround to the server update loop. But, yes, it must have either a USB or SD card attached to function. BTW: look around your home, in those old junk drawers, might find an old SD card laying around, my Touch is using an ancient 65mb SD card from my old Palm Beyond that your options are: - update your local LMS to the same version as the current MySqueezeBox.com version - dont switch between them (always keep player on LMS) - do switch between them and ignore the update prompt (hit Home button on Touch & Radio) - do switch between them and do the update/downgrade each time (as you are doing now) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92296 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
