That's unfortunate - I don't like leaving things on in standby when I'm not using them. (presumably the drive also has to stay on?) Is there no way to disable this automatic rescan? (I mean, you know when you've added tracks right?!) -- Sosh -

Well, regarding the usability of the built-in server, "try it!" :D Based on what I've read about people struggling with TinySBS (the built-in version of the server on the Touch), it's generally not very good (yet?). Whatever you do, don't let fuzzing about with the internal server get in your way

I'm mentioned this is all these threads, but I do agree with the "TRY IT" idea. My brother is using the "tiny SbS" with an attached USB drive holding about 50,000 mp3 files (most with embedded artwork) and it works very well. The TOUCH is wifi connected and he also has a BOOM (wifi) that is connec
