I am in a similar spot (starting from scratch) and have just discovered the Vortex box on this thread. I have a MacBook Pro and was about to purchase a Time Capsule to both have an auto backup for my laptop and replace an aging router. Can I plug the Vortex Box directly into the Time Capsule? Wi

Is this possible? I know you'll be able to plug in a USB memory stick with songs on and the Touch will find them and index/start playing them. However, will you be able to attach an external hard drive via USB and the same thing happen? Intrigued by the whole Touch/Squeezebox concept, but don't w

Any opinions regarding the best power source for a USB drive connected to the SBT? I am wondering if this would have any impact on the sound quality. I am thinking of jitter and noise effects on the sound. An independently powered USB drive would result in less strain on the power supply of the S

Yes. You can plug in a harddrive to the TOUCH and the built in "tiny" SbS will allow you to play that music. But the TOUCH and its built in tiny SbS will not look across your network for the music files stored on your NAS. You have two options. (1) Run a full blown SbS on your NAS and then it c

Further to what Gary said, the Touch is a USB *host*, not a device. So you wouldn't be able to plug it into a PC and have it recognised as a sound device, this is not what it is designed to do. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x con
