Actually, I don't find the Touch to be faster than the Classic in the
majority of the navigation tasks I get it to do. The ability to jump to
albums or artists starting with a chosen letter is common to both the
Touch and Classic. (like selecting a letter when typing an SMS on a
mobile)

language and have deeper knowledge regarding Squeezebox.
German is the second most important market for us. What issues do you have with
German language on the Touch?

Replaygain tags and SmartGain would address your volume consistency
issue. That's what they're for :-). It's not normalising in the
conventional sense. Tracks from the same album are untouched. You
should try that
Also, keeping everything in WAV is not helping. I'm not clear why you
are doing
I just checked your process on my Touch... I get no lag on point 4 - the
response is sub-second.
Point 7 was a MUCH requested enhancement... however some people wanted
it to be an option IIRC.
Point 9 takes 2 seconds on my setup.
What are you seeing?

One simple solution is to buy a wireless bridge box, they can be had for
