If your player is playing through mysqueezebox.com then it is possible that BBC geo-ip blocking issue is still messing things ups (it starteded a few weeks ago but I thought no longer affected UK users) as mysb.com server may not be UK based. If you connected through your local LMS (i.e connected to My Music) then BBC will service request. How are you connected to BBC and what format ? The geo-ip blocking seems affect WMA more often than AAC. Your best bet would be to use Triode's BBCiPlayer plugin / applet (depending on whether you are using LMS or mysb.com) and choose AAC as the preferred format. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94828 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to get the Squeezebox Touch to work with CH3HNAS
You can use internet radio, Pandora, Rhapsody, Spotify and other online services without your pc or NAS on -- just switch the music source to mysqueezebox.com. To listen to your own music, you need LMS running somewhere. It could be a pc, a NAS that supports LMS, or the Touch's built-in LMS. However, to use the Touch's built-in LMS the music library has to be on a USB drive or SD card connected directly to the Touch. It is technically possible to get the Touch's built-in LMS to reach out to a NAS, but people who have done it have found the performance to be lousy. So if you don't want to have your pc on to listen to your local library, and your NAS can't accommodate LMS, then it looks like your last option is a USB drive connected to the Touch. You should also note that the success rate with the Touch's built-in LMS is mixed: works fine for some, terribly for others. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94831 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch prevents PC from sleeping / constantly wakes it up.
Just FYI, I've had the same problem at times over wireless. Typically "solving" it came down to checking that the wireless adapter power management was set to only respond to management stations (magic packet) -- some unidentified app/malware seemed to be removing this setting -- and then rebooting everything. Sounds like you've already done that. There is a well-developed 'plugin' (http://code.google.com/p/srvrpowerctrl/) that can automate the switch to mysqueezebox.com that you might find useful.

I suppose another workaround is to switch to using wireless for the Touch instead of ethernet.

If you have a dac with a well engineered async usb implementation then it could potentially be better than an spdif connection as with it the transport is clock locked to the dac and not the other way round. However it really depends on the dac and so this is only relavent to people with such dacs. There have been many more posts here an elsewhere on this for you to research.

CaptBeyond wrote: > Don't mean to sound obtuse, but if the DAC only goes up to 96KHz, what's > the point of EDO? The factory Touch firmware does not support USB DACs at all, it doesn't even see them. You need some way to recognize the USB DAC and send the data stream to the USB port. EDO is all about making that happen with as many different USB DACs and their configurations as possible. There are several things done in EDO: USB DACs use a different 24 bit format than what is used inside the Touch, EDO does the conversion. The USB driver inside the Touch firmware only supports UAC1.0 , hence only up to 96KHz, EDO provides a new driver that supports UAC2.0 in addition to UAC1.0. And while he was at it Triode added a new S/PDIF driver that supports 192 KHz. So if you are using an S/PDIF connection and you are only playing up through 96KHz, you don't need EDO. If you want to connect to a USB DAC you have to use SOMETHING, and EDO is the easiest way to do it. There are some manual hacks I've written about in other threads here, but they don't completely work with async or UAC2.0 DACs. John S.

The Touch doesn't have a battery backed up clock, so when you unplug the power the time gets lost, the Touch keeps track of this and won't display the clock if it know's it doesn't have a valid time. The Touch is designed to set it's clock from the server it is connected to, but if you use a USB drive connected to the Touch, the server is on the Touch so the server doesn't have a correct time either. In this situation its supposed to try and connect to mysqueezebox.com over the internet to get the time. If it can't get to the internet or has a problem logging onto mysqueezebox.com it might not get the time. If you are connected to a local LMS server the Touch should get the time from that server and the clock should display. John S.

Thanks John, It appears I might have a unit with a problem. 1).The screensaver clock used to show but has been doing so less & less as time goes on. It is now six months old and despite the screensaver being set correctly, with the Touch in standby it will not show the time at all now. This happens with or without a USB drive connected. Mostly I eject the drive after each use of it. 2).Another issue. Whenever I try to start the Logitech Media Server to play from a USB drive, I always get the message that there is a connection problem. Each & every time I then have to unplug & replug the power and then it works immediately with no issue. Apart from having to unplug to get the Media Server to activate, the Touch always has 240v power supplied. It is only ever turned off by using the orange power button on the remote. These issues happen with either wireless or Ethernet connection. There is no issue with my broadband connection as proved by my Cambridge Sonata NP-30 which streams perfectly at any time. John, from the above, is it possible that I have a faulty unit?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Ok. Please make me aware of the proper way to get artwork to display properly.
Well, I also use 500x500 art which I scan myself. I embed the art in every single track it applies to, so if I copy tracks here or there at home I don't have to be concerned. I limit the size of art to 30KB usually, 40KB if it's "complicated", 60KB if it's really complicated (not common with current releases). A trivial amount of space when tunes are 10s of MB each. I've never had an issue with the SBT displaying it. But you must be a bit careful of the "advanced" settings re your library. And you probably should re-scan your whole library every so often...at least I do. The SBT can make the crappiest art look not so bad. Using iPeng, crap art that looks fine on the SBT looks like real crap, almost illegible. cfraser's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48869 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94840 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If you are using VortexBox, the preferred art location is cover.jpg in each album directory. If you want to find or upgrade cover art, bliss works very well for this. http://www.blisshq.com. I have it set to look for cover art 500x500 or larger. This displays well on my iPad with iPeng or SqueezePad. Well worth the cost. You can install bliss from the VB GUI Upgrade page http://vortexbox/upgrade.php.

I use embedded art for a number of reasons , foremost the file is self sufficient if I pick single songs to be used in another context they still have their art and for downloaded albums it has been common with different art for every track ? But I still keep a cover.jpg/folder.jpg for each album , in case some software prefers that . > 500*500 since I got an iPad . Always use jpeg ! Resizing png or bmp is a memory hog for the server bitmaps are the worst . Especially if you use embedding , embedding a large BMP is not a good thing. People, that use the Touch stand alone have problems with large art and non jpeg art, sometimes also embedded art ? Really big art can be a problem like 3000*3000 if you have a slow server or for some iPad apps empirically ~ 1400*1400 works for me Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94840 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Using the MUSICAL FIDELITY - M1DAC A DIGITAL CONVERTER for expostion purposes http://www.musicdirect.com/p-53380-musical-fidelity-m1dac-a-digital-converter.aspx The USB route, as you describe, with attendant conversion would theoretically cause sonic degradation, would it not? The USB DAC input on the M1DAC supports up to 24/96. The digital coax input on the M1DAC, however, supports up to 24/192 and would be the ideal connection with the Touch, provided the Touch with Triode's EDO sends the FLAC file as purely pass-through without the Touch doing any digital conversions to it.

It is not the Touch that does the 192 > 96 conversion it is the server , and that is done very well with SoX, a very good quality software so it does not introduce artefacts that you can hear. So with EDO people with anaemic servers ( NAS box ) can use their 192k files if they have any . And USb only DAC is served . This is a great enhancement. However it is simply not humanly possible to tell a 192k file from a 96k file ( no it is not ). And is not almost all files 44.1/16 anyway 99% of mine are , so performance here is what matters . So pursuing this for audio nirvana is forfeit .. But to best utilze your equipment this is good , some DAC have USB some have spdiff some have both . And as John S repeatedly tells us , there is no guarantee that the USB is always the best choice on a given DAC , it is all about implementation .
