Not easily. The Touch will not run off both wired and wireless simultaneously. You have to go into the setup menus and select which way you want it to connect. There are two ways with external boxes to do what you want, a wireless bridge, or a router which gets its WAN fron your wifi router. The

Fred, the CUE sheet you show above references a .wav file, but you say that you're using .flac files. Could that be the problem? Have you tried exporting any CUE sheets to separate files, rather than using embedded CUE sheets? Is this only broken in the Touch's internal server? Have you tried it
