how are planning to configure your NAS or load files on to it without conection to the rest of your network ? You can configure the Touch for static network if you turn of the dhcp server or conect it to something that does not have any. using multiple dhcp on a network is never good. placing

Short or long press ? A short one just reboots it, a long press does a factory reset . if you skip a song or choose another album, do you get sound again then ? Note the Touch can remeber artwork for a long time, is the local server really conected or has it gone into sleep mode ? -- Mnyb

It must be a short press because it doesn't go back to its factory reset mode (e.g. Volume settings are still set to the max as I've preset them)I'm playing CD's from 'My Music' at the moment without any problems so surely I'm just overlooking something simple?? -- irons1965

I get a similar problem with my Touch. When I change over from mysqueezebox.com to my local server (SbS), the first time I try playing a track it shows artwork but plays no music. What I do is power off (using the remote), power on again and music plays fine - no need for me to reboot at all.

This is just off the top of my head - don't know if there are issues that might prevent it working - but could you just take the Touch to a wireless hot spot (local coffee shop, etc.) and use their wireless to download the needed firmware update? It would probably need to be a place with a

The cue sheet should not reference to a Somefile.wav if it is a Somefile.flac that belongs to the cue. (I maybe think some rippers create a cue like that or if you are ripping to wav first then recode it to flac). also the Touch runs linux so Somefile.flac is not the same as somefile.flac this

If you go back to the server.prefs file, is your edit still there, or was it overwritten? You should only edit server.prefs with the internal server shut down. Then reboot the Touch or start the server. TinySC, although based on the larger Squeezebox Server, is in many places designed to work
