Can't check 3 at the moment ... but 5 Live AAC is running okay today. It was hopeless yesterday. The bandwidth requirement for radio streams is minimal - at 9mb you could stream HD video! -- castalla 1 Touch - Muse M50 EX TPA3123 T-Amp Mini - Acoustics Q10 speakers - 2 duff ears - purfek!

You can conect to the attached drive over the network so one actually don't need to remove it to add files, this may not be fantastically fas especially if you add files over wifi . You should still provide the Touch with internet connection most obviusly for internet radio and services. --

Thanks to you both. Those links have been quite helpful. The example in Toby’s link is very like my situation, except I would prefer a externally powered Hard-disk as opposed to one reliant on the squeezebox and I'm not really concerned about keeping album art. The rescan aspect I wasn't really

Sorry for such a naive (probably very old) question, but after much Googling I cannot find the answer. Can anyone explain why, when the SB Touch is being used in *standalone mode* (using tiny server or Logitech server, or whatever it's called these days) the router needs to be switched on? Does
