Today I added a Netgear Router configured as an access point to boost signal strength of my network. My Laptop connects to the new Access Point and can access the Music Library on my Desktop just fine. The squeezebox touch connects to the access point just fine, but cannot find the Desktop Music Library on the Network. Anyone know what the solution is?? Each AP has a default IP address. You can change this with the web interface to your AP. MOST IF NOT ALL AP's default to having DHCP server ON. This means that you may or Will have more than one device handing out ways to connect. When you added the AP, you added another way to connect using DHCP. DHCP says: I can help you out if you need to connect. This would normally be a good idea. The bad part is if you have more than one helper on your network, they can f*)2 you. So: if you have a cable/dsl modem that passes out addresses (helpfully) on 192.168.1.x and an AP passing out addresses (helpfully) on 192.168.254.x THEY ARE NOT ON THE SAME NETWORK.

Peter The SB puts out line level which would blow away ANY phono input since it's voltages are huge compared to a turntable. As everyone has said, when you plug into a receiver, you will (mostly) have two volume controls: the volume of the SB and the volume on the receiver. It would be best to try a CD/AUX input.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch and Vortexbox: no artist/album listing
dusty;550976 Wrote: Taking the advice of many on this list, I set up a Vortexbox on an old computer. On my Touch, though, none of that material is listed under Albums or Artists, though I can browse to the File Folder flacs on the Vortexbox from the Touch. Does anyone using both a Vortexbox and a Touch have any idea what the issue may be? My flacs are all on the Vortexbox within their own Artist/Album folder. Are they supposed to be loose within the Vortexbox's flac folder without the subfolders? Thanks, Dusty This brings an interesting question: The touch is a server and a player. It would seem there would be two data sets: 1 on the touch and 1 on the vortexbox. It should be necessary to change servers (libraries/remote libraries) to access each separate server. Is this true or can the touch merge with another server and be seamless (as we would hope?) I think a list of music locations would be the only solution. I'm pretty sure this isn't explicit in iTunes but I really don't see a lot of complexity in having a finite list of music locations coupled with an include other servers option. (YES, I know they could be duplicating songs and etc. but read on.) After a scan, each location would be included. If a portable/detachable device is not available at playback, a simple, single select parameter in the UI would be required. Other than that, if the media is not available a message could either suggest a restart or give dialog that the tune ain't there just now...
