Your router shouldn't make a difference. If you are using mysqueezebox com: Logon on to mysqueezebox.com and check the time settings there. If you have installed software on the pc to play music off your hard disk, please go to that PC and make sure it's time zone settings are correct.

The SB Controller (SBC) and Touch are different network devices, and therefore must have different IP addresses. So if they have the same IP address, that's a problem for sure. Just to rule out a possible source of the problem, you are using only one router, right? If you have only one router

I suppose when you embed ex post the operation takes a long time because it is rewriting each and every file into which you are embedding album art. With typical FLAC file sizes of 30-60MB that takes some time. And if you're doing it over the network to the Vortexbox it takes even longer.
