Since I can't upgrade the firmware before setup is complete (or can I?), some more info would be nice. But nothing is required after registration either , it will be just as usable if never ever connected back to the service. I know, but it can still phone home and link the data gained to my e-mail and thus to me. Besides, I don't want to end up with a brick once mysb.com is taken offline.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Oldtimer looking to upgrade to Touch withoutdowngrading to mysb.com
Chris I just tried this with a fresh-out-of-the-box Touch (courtesy of Amazon UK's lightening deal the other day). The first thing it asks you to do is connect to your own network (wired or wireless), and in my case the first thing it did after I entered my wifi password was to prompt me to download the latest firmware. At this stage I had not told the unit anything about my local LMS setup, so I'm pretty sure this happened because the unit found Logitech's servers by itself. It then prompted me for my MySB credentials. I could not get the 'swipe right at the help screen' to work, but I DID eventually manage to bypass the MySB setup using the remote. After a few failed attempts I resorted to stabbing at the buttons, so I wasn't sure which button did it in the end! I did a factory reset to try and figure out which remote key it was. It is indeed the right arrow - as soon as the MySB login screen comes up, press AND HOLD the right arrow, and it takes you to the home screen, from where you can set up your LMS IP address. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95617 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If you are that paranoid you could always use a disposable email for registration. Whether you ever use a MySB.com or always use MySB.com, if MySB.com goes away this will not effect your Touch's other functions. This is true using LMS server on a computer or the Touch's inbuilt server. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95617 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

There's privacy issues, security issues, reliability issues - all for functionality that I don't need and that could easily be done via server plugins. More than that, I see the service as an attempt to take back the openness that was another one of Slim Devices' core concepts by moving as much functionality as possible out of the server, and frankly that pisses me off. If I'm forced to register I won't buy a Touch, it's that simple. So, I don't think they were trying to take away any functionality with having the mysqueezebox.com option. They were trying to accommodate users who couldn't have/didn't want to have a computer/full server running. So for those that just want to listen to internet radio, or streaming services without a computer, they have that option along with the stripped down version of the server for a USB drive for their own music. I know before I had my permanent server it was nice to be able to listen to something when the computer was off, and I've never felt I was lacking any functions by having both options available.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Help with NAS + Touch + iPhone
Just over a year later, I have a new Synbology DS212j NAS (1 TB x 2) and I have loaded my music onto it (mostly ALAC). As before, my Sonos ZP90 works fine on it, but as before, I'm curious to try a Squeezebox Touch with the NAS. Last time, I was having problems with getting the Touch and SBS to work with my NAS (then a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo). I could not properly scan my music files, and they kept pausing intermittently during playback. But I think the Synology NAS can support the Logitech Media Server just fine. And I hardwired my living room setup (where the NAS and Touch will be) to my router to avoid any wi-fi problems. Sooo before I buy another Touch, I thought I would index my music on the NAS using the built-in Logitech Media Server. I ran the scan and it took maybe three hours to scan 26,000+ music files (unlike before, where it took days). The log only showed a few tagging problems; nothing major. It all seemed good until it started scanning my playlists. now I have only maybe a dozen playlists (in iTunes) and zero playlists in any other devices or applications, so this should have taken maybe ten seconds, but instead it's taking an hour and showing over 7,300 ... items (?) ... playlists (?) scanned, and it's hanging and I can't abort it or access my music library using the LMS on my PC (desktop LMS interface on the NAS). What gives? Any ideas? It's basically just frozen, and now I can't even load the LMS control panel on my desktop. Any ideas? Thanks.

[SlimDevices: Touch] EQ (Inguz), client/server optimization, in search of decent fidelity
[I hope this is the right sub-forum; if a mod reckons it's better suited someplace else, feel free to move it!] Hello, I just recently purchased an SB Touch and my setup is as follows: Squeezebox Server 7.5.4 - r32171 // FreeBSD 9 running on an HP Microserver N40L Squeezebox Touch Firmware 7.5.4-r9408 The Touch is configured for wifi on my 54g network, and it's hooked to an analog stereo (Harmon Kardon HK3390) which is driving a pair of Polk Audio TSi200s Fairly shortly after getting everything set up, I did a comparison between music played from the SB Touch and audio fed from my desktop machine directly to the stereo (I have a ghastly RCA cable snaking across my living room to one of the inputs) using foobar2000 and my sound card's digital EQ presets; I fancied the sound of the latter. I figured it was just the EQ and set about installing/configuring Inguz DSP. I've got it to a point now where everything *seems* to be functional (that is, no errors are being generated either in the InguzDSP log file or the Squeezebox Server logs), but I hear no appreciable difference whilst playing around with the settings. One thing that does seem odd is, in the 'File Types' configuration page, only 'Native' is selectable for the MP3 container format and codec, while InguzDSP/* appears in other areas. To rule this out, I tried playing some FLAC files (one of the file types for which InguzDSO/* appears) while messing around with the EQ and, again, I couldn't discern a difference. My general query at this point is...what are my options? Is InguzDSP broken for my device/versions? I read of another plugin, BrutefirDRC, but it doesn't seem to work with the SB Touch unless one is dealing with FLAC-only (I don't know that this is true, I read it on another forum while searching around). Are there any other plugins which do EQ? Would I be better off with a hardware solution? And, it's sort of unrelated, but if there are any other plugins which can increase sound fidelity, I'd like to try those as well. I stumbled across SB Touch Toolbox - does anyone have an opinion of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm not an audiophile per se, but I do want to get the most out of my setup, and I feel like I'm not at the moment. Also be gentle with concepts/terminology, my understanding of the fundamentals is tenuous at best, though I'm here to learn.

However, maybe I am a bit slow, but still not fully convinced.

However, will this enable you to restore everything, if for some reason, the update servers or whatever is on the internet are not accessible through the touch? In particular, Firmware / Kernel, Installed Apps...? What bothers me a bit is, that a factory reset does obviously only revert settings and apps back to default, but not the firmware. So what if a nightly firmware or an experimental Kernel messes up the touch, so that the internal restore tool does not work anymore? How can the thing be reinstalled from scratch? As far as I understand, this is simply a piece of gear made to live as long as Logitech supports it, and one has to live with that. diego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95594 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
