Anyone have an idea if a 7 inch tablet screen would be large enough to
solve this problem? Or do I need to go up to a 10 inch to have the
screen usable at 7-10 ft. distances?

LMS will downsample hi res tracks to the lowest common denominator of
connected players. So if you are running a Touch and a Duet, it will
downsample high res to 24/48 so that the Touch can play it.

a rip off.
However, I do agree that if the rip-off tracks are too prevalent, the
format will die.

music with the ones I have. I'd say it's worth it if you have a very

Would it be required to run your own server ?
Topic of Touch 192 has been discussed elsewhere. Do a search.

you do, you should alert them, as they've shown they are willing to do
the right thing.
