When I first got my touch a couple of months ago, I tried that but I

I have had my Touch for a few weeks now and have been leaving it on 24/7
but wondering if that is the correct thing to do?
I have seen posts about the power supply getting flakey with age and

Well here is what I am talking about on Amazon. This has to be junk:
Got a new (to me) Touch yesterday and while it was squirrely out of the
box , getting the community firmware updates make it work like new .
Thanks for keeping this alive!
I have not had a proper stereo in many years. I see very inexpensive
rec/amps on Amazon but I am sure there is some kind of

Ok update on my end:
I got prompted for an update and installed it.
