Sorry Ratso, this isn't an answer to your thread intro. I'm also having issues with artwork on flac files - more similar to what crazyj is reporting. I had a mixture of wma-lossless and MP3 files on an external HDD, but converted all the WMAs to flac -5 to avoid having to have my laptop running.

I see another thread compares the Touch used alone with the Touch Supported by a Dacmagic. The consensus seems to the the Dacmagic is better, but bot by much. How does the Beresford Caiman improve the Touch? Marginally? Dramatically? Any Beresford DAC will improve an SB3, but I have read the To

This, however, will result in a larger footprint for the album art db and slower scans for those who embed the exact same album art in each tag. (Which many do for compatibility with other devices or just because they believe all metadata should be in the track, not an external file.) Ie, if you

Your argument is excellent, except that your suggestions do nothing to explain why some companies can do it while Logitech cannot. There are prominent companies around the world that have proven that it can be done both intelligently and efficiently. In the light of such, what are your suggestions

So no usb to sync to.. If the touch was trying to sync to my 1.8TB collection, it would surely die. I am thinking it might be a network issue, I notice that sometimes it says "connecting to server" then restarts the song. No such problems with the other two squeezeboxes on the same server, same

Sleep and Off are the same. Both just put Touch into standby (Off). Sleep simply allows you to preselect a time period to turn itself Off. Like telling your TV to turn off in 30 minutes when you are falling asleep. :) -- toby10 -
