there the situation with vortexbox is summed up as follows by one user
(not fully tested by me, not my opinion, so don't flame me please):
(1) Using Vortexbox, the Vortexbox player cannot play files without
gapping.
(2) Using Squeezeslave, you can play gapless files just fine, but not
any hi-res
1) not sure, but probably
2) if you're running LMS then you can ignore mysqueezebox.com. But if
you want to use online music services that require login credentials
you do need to have a mysb.com account and put your credentials there,
and in the mysqueezebox.com tab in LMS Settings. LMS will che
1) The LMS keeps telling me there is an upgrade available even though I
turned upgrade alerts off. Is that because I installed a nightly
version?
2) Why do I need Mysqueezebox.com when running LMS? What is it's
purpose?
3) My computer does go to sleep after 5 min of the Toch being on the
clock
Ha! I figures it was something stupid. Glad I asked.

If squeezeplay can do 96, then its just adding an extra number in a few
places in the code and adding 192 to the alowed sample rates for
squeezeplay in the server. It should not be difficult.
Adding 192 to the Touch drivers is much

Yep. I'll try that. It's a long process formating and moving the
files. Many hours as this little USB drive is no speed demon.

JJZ.. you've stated precisely my concerns.
i have a Touch, like its basic interface but do not want to bother with
any other device (be it a phone, laptop, kindle, etc.) to mess with it.
the remote for me is only useful for radio presets and volume.
i simply suggest that its play interface could

Hello,
I have owned a Touch for the last 4 months. Recently however, the
Touch has developed some quirks:
When playing back an album, the Touch stops playing after 2 or 3
tracks. It's not paused, just stopped. Selecting PLAY does not
continue the playback. But sometimes if I raise the volu
Excellent post indeed! Many thanks for that, there is so much good
info there. The OOM messages in the log file are a big help for me. I
can now see where things went wrong and try to fix them. The log file
shows which files where causing problems. I will also install a small
SD card to use a
IMO, it's because it requires the use of the context-menu that it's so
easy to screw up on the Touch. And even easier on the Radio with its
click-knob. It's also a huge PITA because you have to use the slow
click-hold method to call up the menu, then make a menu selection, and
then sit through the

Or the way I do it is using the Touch's remote and using the + key and

Any news on this? I'm desperately looking for it.
I have 2 devices (TV and Squeezebox) with digital outputs, and one
input port on my receiver. Got a nice optical splitter, but now I need
to unplug the SB every time I watch tv.
Thanks, Erik

Preliminaries: all this has been done from a Linux box. This is also
feasible from Windows or MacOSX, you just have to adapt to your OS (ssh
client, paths).
