I was wondering where the Touch stores the music database - in internal
memory or on the connected USB device/SD card?
If it should be the latter, is it possible to disconnect one device and
connect another without having to rescan, assuming they both have been
scanned before?

When playing ALAC files off a local USB drive, do gapless tracks play
as they should?
Touch can't transcode. The full list of Touch supported formats I do
not know.
If Radio can't play ALAC natively then getting ALAC songs from Touch
will not work. :(

It could be read that if the bugs are sorted then native 16bit ALAC
might be possible.

Perhaps the reason why wireless causes a problem and wired does not is
that there might be some CPU usage overhead to the wireless networking.
This overhead could take CPU away from the playback? Just a guess. It
may also be something other than CPU and just be some level of data

I've done listening and comparing 44.1 to 88.2 and 96 files and the
truth is there is no clear advantage that I can hear. Sometimes 96
sounds better and sometimes it sounds worse.
There is no obvious 96 always sounds better. I think it has far more
to do with the method used for down/upsampling

Correct, right now they are just available as the now playing screen
which includes some text and buttons.
It should be fairly easy to take the code for the NP meter screen and
rip out the buttons and
I would also add that if the CD you ripped was mastered poorly, it will
sound bad on the Touch as well. :)

Hi y'all,
I have a SB Classic and I'm considering going for the SB Touch.
Still, I'm wondering this:
Is it possible not to choose album cover-art to show in the display ?
I mean is it possible to disable cover art and therefor use the whole
width of the display and choose a larger character
There are five Now Playing screens on the Touch, and you can cycle
among them, or leave it at the one you like.

In addition to the no artwork mode there are two sizes, referred to as
small/large, or touch/remote or 3/10. The small size is used when you
touch the screen, it has smaller text and buttons. The larger size is
used when you use the IR remote, it has larger text and no buttons. The
3/10 means 3ft
Its a little bit smaller than the largest font on the SB3.
In my case the rack is about 15ft away and the largest SB3 font is just
big enough, but the 10 Touch font is just a little too small for
comfort. If you are in this situation some form of controller with a
local screen might be

The 10 foot size might work for you.
I expect to use a Touch from about that distance.

Whoopssorry, I meant 3,5 meters to be 10 feet. (instead of 30)
Ok, I'll just try it as it is. Luckily there's a Logitech dealer in my
area who will hopefully have the Touch in stock pretty soon, so I can
try before I buy. :)
