I have just under 30,000 files. The hard drive is a Western Digital Elements 1TB and this is happening even when I am not trying to sync players and just running the touch by itself.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Local Music Server Stopped
I am having trouble getting my touch to play from my attached hard drive for more than a couple songs at a time. After a few songs the music stops playing and I get an error which says "local music service has been stopped due to a problem" At that point I have to reconnect to the squeezebox server before I can play music again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] TouchServer Synchronisation
Same problem here...I can't get multiple players to sync with my Touch for extended periods of time either. I am trying to sync the Touch with two SB3s and one Boom. Even if can get all of the players to sync together, the touch usually stops playing after a few minutes and I do believe it happens just before a new song is about to begin. -- KJAM KJAM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77749 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

John...I can't confirm whether or not your tip did the trick, but I'm going to give you credit for it anyway! I deleted the "squeezebox.db" files that were on my hard drive as you suggested before I tried another scan and it worked this time. I also did a soft reset of the Touch before the scan using the reset button on the back of the unit.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
The results of my "Wipe/Re-scan" did not go much better. The scan stopped again in almost the excact same spot. It made it all the way through the music scan (20,000 files)and then stopped about 25% of the way through the album art scan (600 files). So is there a problem with one of the album art files?
