I strongly doubt there is any magic tagging combination that will do what you want within the stock LMS, but maybe Erland's Custom Browse plugin can do this. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid

Some plugins are lightweight enough that they can run in TinyLMS, but there is no interface for adding them, so you would have to login to the Touch and do some manual file copying and probably editing. Other plugins are too demanding of the Touch's meager resources -- you may be able to force the

If I remember correctly you can escape the mysb.com sign in with a left-to-right finger swipe on the Touch's touchscreen. You may also be able to do it by stepping back using the back arrow in the upper left corner. If you have to restart the process, you can improve your "luck" in not connecting

I suspect that what you're doing now is navigating to the playlist and then selecting Play. One simple way to get what you want is to instead load the playlist (using Add to End, or Play Next, etc), and then select the first track in the playlist. It's a few more button pushes and not particularly

If you can't find a pattern then it's hard to help, but maybe we can deepen the diagnosis. What type of files are these (FLAC, MP3, etc)? What type of tags do you have (eg, ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, Vorbis comments)? aubuti'

Sorry, but you'll need to explain better what you did and what you lost. You ran LMS on your laptop, then you "returned to LMS" (where?) and logged back into mysb.com? Where are Favorites you're trying to access, and where is your Touch connected? And where are the Radios connected? (they can be o

There are two sets of Favorites, one stored on your local LMS and the other on mysb.com. If you had Favorites stored on mysb.com then they haven't gone anywhere. If you go to the LMS web ui, click "Settings" in the lower right-hand corner and then insert your correct mysb.com login credentials o

Okay, then I don't quite understand your "push M" comment in the OP, but never mind. What version of LMS are you running? What do you get when you look at the MusicIP gui (http://:10002)? And don't be insulted, but are you sure the MusicIP plugin is active? -

Quite some time ago (maybe LMS 7.7.0??) the "M" in the web interface stopped meaning "MusicIP mix" and started meaning "More info". Instead you need to drill down to track info on the left side of the screen, where you will find a "Create MusicIP mix" link. I don't have LMS in front of me right no

One very important thing you haven't indicated is where you are running LMS. The web interface you are trying to use for LMS only works if you are running LMS on a computer, a NAS (network attached storage) or similar _external_ device. If you are using the Touch's built-in server (also known as

No need whatsoever to run LMS on a USB stick. If you only want to listen to internet radio then you can simply connect the Touch to mysqueezebox.com and choose your stations. Then switch back to LMS on your pc when you want local music. Or you could use the Touch's built-in version of LMS. ---
