I really wanted to connect my Xiva Musicm8 to the Touch to utilise the wireless bridge function detailed in the manual but from reading online it seems that this feature currently doesn't work on the Touch. I have read a few posts suggesting that this is something planned for the future - has

Hi Everyone, The SB Touch seems like the best solution as a controller for my laziness. The ONLY reason I want to buy this is to connect it directly to an external HDD to play FLAC. I am eyeing the Benchmark DAC1 and either an Arcam, Rotel, Anthem or Naim AMP later on. I do NOT want to use a

You probably need the brctl util, e.g. from busybox. Unfortunately, busybox on the Touch does not support brctl. :-( Either you cross-compile busybox for ARM on your own, or you take a precompiled version, e.g. from the first post on

Well. bridging seems to be not enabled in the Touch kernel. :-( This will be pretty complicated. -- flattermann Christian Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android

Hello, I have been looking at the Sheevaplug mentioned to me by a forum member in one of my older threads and although my SB Touch is working fine as a standalone at the moment (ripped 120 CDs so far) I wondered if there would be any sonic benefit to getting a NAS such as the sheevaplug in the

See http://www.radionigel.com I tried to listen to their Window Media stream, also known as their High Quality stream, with the following URL: mms://wm7.spacialnet.com/radionigel It plays for a while, then the Touch crashes and reboots. When it comes up again it had to restart due to a system

i updated the firmware on the musicm8 to 715 which claims is up to date with squeezecenter 7.4.1 but my touch is already running 7.5.1 which i am guessing is why i am having issues and that the squeezebox is telling me to update but i can't see anyway to update the software -- matengawhat

I WAS able to hear differences between PCM and flac decoding in blind tests. (no it was a not a full blown scientific test). But that was with the old firmware, the latest firmware has new flac decoding code, I don't know how that sounds. Its probably not going to get tested in the immediate

Hi Shahab, there are a few things you can do to maximize the probability that things will work right off the bat. First use a USB drive that has its own power supply so that it doesn't have to get power from the Touch. Try and get one that doesn't have auto sleep mode, or at least one that has

You do need SBS 7.5.0 or later to use the Touch, and as you note, the latest version of the musicm8 software only has SBS 7.4.1. I don't know any details about musicm8, but it looks like a pretty closed system. Have you contacted the musicm8 people to see when they will update their software?
