Let's see: I have no intention of using the USB or SD features,as I run music from a dedicated SBS server. I generally only use the digital out of the Touch, as I've got an external DAC. My Touch is close enough to my router that I have no problem connecting wired, and I think wired gives better

[SlimDevices: Touch] Non-ASCII unicode, issues or fixes?

2010-06-26 Thread chzhzhang
I have had trouble browsing music folders of USB drive attached to the Touch that had non-ASCII unicode characters encoded by UTF-8. I think it has to do with either the setup or the kernel of the Unix coming with the Touch. When I ssh into the touch, and type ls, it pops up something like this:

If you use erland's Custom Clock screensaver/helper, it's possible to setup a screensaver which then can use LastFM images. I added to my Radio now playing screensaver. I've got it setup to alternate between the album art, and LastFM artist images. The result is if I play a radio stream where

I have been working with tweaks on the Touch, how its used, how to get the best out of it for quite sometime. I have been primarily focusing on the analog signals coming out rather than the digital out. Soundcheck was also working on optimizing the the Touch, he took some of my stuff and added

Bus powered means it gets power over the USB bus. Self powered means the device (disk drive in this case) means it has its own power source other than the USB bus. With the Touch there is an intermediate approach which is to use a powered hub. The drive can still be bus powered, but the Touch
