Thinking about the Touch as my third SB in the house and to use as a server for the others as well. It would be in a room which doesn't have a hifi, so I would need a set of powered speakers. I've never done this before but do powered speakers use a significant amount of power when not in use.

Well, depending how you go about it, you can use a split cable (Y-cable) to connect to whatever speakers. Or, of course, you could go take a look at dedicated computer speakers, which often are connected via USB to your computer but has a mini-jack input as well. Also, not that I think you want

Maybe more accurately stated as Touch's server can only stream files that your players can play natively. Touch will stream anything that doesn't require transcoding for a particular player. Another notable limitation is that there is no web interface for either playback control or settings.

Right. And the part in the review that says the IR remote -provides far less detailed control than the touch screen- is completely incorrect. The menus for the IR remote and the touchscreen are exactly the same, except the fonts are bigger for the IR remote. So the level of control detail is
