Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch - in stock anytime soon?
I've seen the Out of Stock message too. I didn't know what was going on, so I asked various people within Logitech. We are indeed out of stock, but will have more within the next few days. Our September shipment of Touch players for the United States was supposed to arrive from the factory earlier this month but has been delayed. They're now on an airplane and should be entering the United States today (September 30, 2010). Hopefully they'll be sending out all backordered units to customers sometime next week. In the meantime, if you want one you should place an order now and they'll ship it out soon. Sorry for the confusion.

You've unfortunately encountered 3 basic issues with our character handling. Here's our plan for them. We'll not be able to address them immediately, however: - *Bugs in handling mixed Latin and non-Latin characters*. Mixing German and Korean doesn't work very well. We've fixed individual bugs regarding this in the past, but what's really needed is a complete re-do of the software handling this. We're planning on tackling this for our next major software release. - *No support of Asian character sets on Touch, Duet, and Radio*: Our open source fonts don't support Asian characters yet. We'll review switching to one that does, but this may not happen immediately. - *Different characters supported on Boom and Classic*: Switching to a more complete open source font set per #2 above will unify our support.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Recurring problems
Craig: Those error messages can appear when your USB hard drive shuts down and the Touch can't read or write from it. They are common when using a USB-powered hard drive with Touch. In this case, the hard drive attempts to consume more current than the Touch can supply. When that current isn't available, the hard drive will typically turn itself off. This is usually accompanied by some clicking noises from the hard drive. Maybe that's what you're seeing. Or maybe not. The wiki specifies using only AC-adapter powered USB hard drives: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Touch_as_a_Home_Music_Server Can you describe your USB setup? Hard drive manufacturer, model number, etc. Could you also provide the number of tracks in your library? That can sometimes be helpful in the diagnosis too.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Music Folder empty problem
How did you connect the internal WD drive to the Touch? Was it a SATA drive or an older PATA drive? Did you use a USB-SATA or USB-PATA converter? If so, which brand? I've used a USB-PATA converter, and that worked OK but was super slow, especially with a 4200 rpm drive. OTOH, using an internal WD drive means you may not have powered the drive with an AC adapter. In my testing, not using an AC adapter will cause the drive to spin up/spin down intermittently. -This appears to the Touch software as if you're unplugging and replugging the drive in and out of the USB connector. - I've seen some postings on the forums say that not using an external AC power adapter is OK, but we've received a lot of customer support calls from people who do this and then wonder why it doesn't work. *An external power adapter or supply is mandatory for USB hard drives plugged into the Squeezebox Touch. * So, the root of your issues with the internal WD drive could be: 1. Funky USB to drive converter, and/or 2. No AC adapter on your internal WD hard drive.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox Touch and USB Flash Drive
Can you be more specific about your steps and what precisely you see on the screen? This should work, and it would help if you could provide more details. Also, could you list the manufacturer and model of USB drive? It would be helpful if you listed the contents of the USB drive also -- how many tracks, the type of tracks (MP3? AAC? FLAC?) However, I know from personal experience that if you want to remove a USB flash drive regularly from a Touch, you'll need to carefully follow the right procedure (i.e., follow the Touch menus for USB drive to remove it) -every time-. I've done my share of yanking out that USB drive (flash or hard drive) incorrectly. When I do that, I've noticed that -sometimes- the drive will no longer be recognized by Touch unless you run something like the XP Error-checking tool. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 After I run it, my drive will be recognized again ... or until I make a mistake again. Could you try running that tool (or something similar) and then trying it again with a Touch?

I'll have to agree that availability for the Touch has been very spotty and the rollout worldwide has been slower than I would like. Availability is much better in Europe, and is slowly catching up in the US and Canada. The Touch is definitely not discontinued; the factory is gearing up to make more.

I have tested a lot of drives like that, and when that happens the drive goes into a constant spin-up/spin-down cycle. The only way to solve that is to supply more current, since Touch will only supply what's specified by USB. I was worried that a lot of users would have throw on a old drive and possibly run into this situation too.
