I've tried S/PDIF coaxial and TOSLink, and I can see the NAD losing its lock of the signal (the 44.1k appears and disappears between tracks. I know this is avoidable by use of a silent stream output as opposed to a simple signal null iduring/i silence. Guess I'll have to find a plugin. Thanks

1) It should be. 2) I suspect that you have SBS (Squeezebox Server) installed on your PC. When you turn off your PC, SBS goes down, and then the Touch doesn't have anything to tell it what to do. Try enabling the Touch's own internal SBS after turning off your PC. It's called TinySC, and you

You can use the Touch's built-in server (known as TinySC or TinySBS, but listed on the Touch only as Squeezebox Server) to play tracks from a USB hard drive, USB thumb drive, or SD card connected directly to the Touch. To access music on any other storage you need to run regular SBS _somewhere_.

This could also very easily be a case of having two different tag types in your files. MP3tag, for instance, can read ID3V1 tags, let you modify them and write them back as ID3V2, leaving the original ones untouched. In this case you can get two different ARTIST tags in one file, but you'll
