You won't be able to play the music right away. You need to start the

Do you have Squeezebox Server (TinySBS) running on the Touch? As I
recall it isn't running by default, to save resources. So I would

its database.

This is what I want to do when I get a Squeezebox...
1. Use an old PC to run the Squeezebox server.
2. Buy a large external HD to rip CDs to.
3. Also be able to stream Internet radio stations (I have wireless).
4. Play all of the above through my receiver.
Can I do that?
