[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch Won't Play SD Card

2011-10-29 Thread Andy T
I've got several SD cards with FLAC files in folders with album titles for names. Those folders are in a folder named "FLAC". My Touch doesn't sem to find the music in these folders to play. When I put a card in I get the what I think are the expected screens that stop with a screen with choices

+1 to the other comments about iTunes for ripping. - ALAC is a good choice if you're set on using iTunes. - Make sure to enable sound check to add gain tags. Not needed for single album listening, but essential for random playback. - Make sure to enable secure ripping in order to avoid bad rips.

I believe the problem here is the scanner being stuck. That you can't access the Mysic Folder while scanning is normal with the recent versions. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com --

I'd say the TOUCH is almost bugfree. Certainly I've had fewer bugs (effectively none in my own personal use) than I've had with say, PowerPoint, Internet Explorer, WORD, and other programs that are much older (and have much larger development teams than logitech). -- garym Location 1: Vortexbo

I second the recommendation for ripping with dbpoweramp. I have used EAC and dbpoweramp. If you have a PC with a multicore processor, dbpoweramp will be much faster than EAC. dbpoweramp also uses multiple sources for metadata and will transcode your flac (or apple lossless) rips to mp3 for you

You mention HDMI are you using an AV reciever ? Nowdays they very rarely have a true analog passthru so why not use the coax or toslink from Touch (and crank up the Touch own volume to 100% or set it as fixed ). In almost every case the correct way to hook up anything to an modern av-receiver is
