I purchased the SB-Touch today because I wanted to stream music from my nas to play through my amp. The touch met my needs, I had both devices up and running in about 30 minutes. Installing the Squeezbox server on the nas was easy just follow the step by step guide on the logitech forum - installi

- Don't worry so much about going down a wrong path. Once you've ripped and tagged your CD library _properly_, you'll realize that the library itself is the most important single component of a PC based audio system. You can change the hardware in the future if you want, but the music lib

Thanks Rayman. I noticed that it takes the Squeezebox a long time to finish. I've given it 24 hours but there is no indication that it is complete other than the drive is not being accessed anymore. -- |OMG|dLUX |OMG|dLUX'

By changing libraries do you mean changing servers? Or changing between SBS and mysqueezebox.com? It sounds as if one of the libraries is using the current SBS version (7.5.4) and the other is using an outdated version. Update the one with 7.5.1 to 7.5.4 and the Touch will be happy. -- aubuti -

I have had the same problem with my SB touch with an SD card. It was all down to having the write enable slider on the side of the SD card set to 'read only' ie SB touch could not write to the SD card, which stuffed everything up. Phew! that was easy (for me anyway) -- karlinamillion -

How many files are on the USB drive? Because you have to let the server finish the scan and that can take several hours with the Touch's internal server and if you try to play music before it finishes it will have issues. Or is it giving you an error of some kind? -- rayman1701 --

Thanks a lot for the hint. Unfortunately, it was already on the internal server. I do the ability to go to the computer server but I've actually disabled that so it is not interfering. I tried the scan again last night before I went to sleep. Again, it didn't finish, or at least I don't have the
