Can the internal server in the Touch access media files on the network? If so, perhaps you could use the NAS as just that and host the squeezebox server on the Touch. Perhaps not the ideal situation, but perhaps the path of least resistence. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms

I've been pleasantly surprised at how readable the text is from a distance. Biggest difficulty is that the Touch is far more reclined than the SB3 so it's easier to read when I'm standing up than sitting down. Perhaps it's time to put our Squeezeboxen on the bottom shelf of the hi-fi rack, not t
