Something is clearly wrong if a 192k MP3 sounds better than a properly ripped lossless file. Have you tried burning some of your WAV's to a CD and play them on your CD player to see if the lackluster audio follows the file? -- toby10

It will work fine at both locations. You simply must go through the Settings Advanced Network Network Setup for each location. Touch will remember your WiFi settings for the one WiFi location (no need to re-enter encryption passphrase, etc..) -- toby10

Exactly. That the Touch -will only talk to devices than can install and run a copy of Squeeze Box Server- is a basic characteristic of all Squeezeboxes. Many NASs are 'too fussy' -- or more precisely, too closed and/or too underpowered -- to run SBS. These NASs may be fine for their intended use

If you need a short 3.5mm to RCA cable you can find them at monoprice.com 1.5ft is only $1.62 (Item #5596) or 3ft is only $1.33 (Item #5597) I have ordered many cables from here and they have all been high quality. This seems cheaper and easier than trying to cut and make your own. -- CUB91

I'd guess that itunes has the art only in its data base. It sounds like that when you ripped your CD's the album art was not put into the songs. If each album is in its own folder you can put a copy of the album cover art in each album folder with the file name of folder.jpg and then do a full
