Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Four years on a "new" Touch . . .
I bought a brand new sealed in the box Touch (dating from 2012) last year, all was good and fine - except the Batteries for the remote had turned to mush! Upon connecting it, it immediately updated itself, causing some problems documented elsewhere in this forum where it would suddenly develop a loud 'SSSH' noise. Eventual cure was to reinstall the update which must have had a hiccup somewhere along the line, and since then it's been perfect. -F_D ews2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69845 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113826 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

There is one other option if you have a music library, and that is to use the built in "TinyLMS" in the touch. Plug a thumb drive, maybe USB HDD in the USB port of the touch. I have a no tech friend setup this way, but. With both TinyLMS and mysqueezebox.com, they only support http radio streams and many internet radio streams are only using or redirecting to http*s *.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Four years on a "new" Touch . . .
Just a thought, but if it's unopened you should probably check what it might be worth to collectors in that state. Great 'find' regardless. I bought mine when it was end-of-line and half price, a couple of months later new ones were being advertised at double RRP. No idea what they're fetching now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Four years on a "new" Touch . . .
You only need Logitech Media Server if you have a local music library to play. You can download it here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=8.2 Install and point it to your music folders. If you only listen to internet radio or online music services, just log your Touch into your MySqueezebox account same as your other Squeezeboxes.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Four years on a "new" Touch . . .
Four years after moving to a new house I just "discovered" (yes, I know) a box in the back of the garage with books from school days on top and . . . an unopened Touch beneath that I assumed was long-since-lost. So, what to do next in order to get it operating? I have 2xBoom, 3xClassic and some of the player apps to access via phone but I haven't been engaged with the SB server versions/updates in several years although I actively use the platform. Any advice will be most appreciated . . . Thanks much!
