at Amazon. The Touch is NOT discontinued, just now only exclusively available from the Logitech Website. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] How to interpret limited availability of Touch in US?

into the supply system when the current Touch units were all sold. I heard that demand in the EU was two to three times what they had projected. I think it is more of a move to get things under control through inhouse sales and put the division on a better path. At least that is my hope. -- iPhone

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch feels sluggish at times

Server will pay for itself over running a main PC 24/7 and one gets all the advantages of having a dedicated Music Server running 24/7/365! But that's just my opinion and probably a little more then my two cents worth. YMMV. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch feels sluggish at times

was not talking about using TinySC, but using an NAS with SBS running local. But again, I would compare that to just being barely better then actually running TinySC on the Touch. YMMV. Again my opinion, but its time for the OP to have a dedicated Music Server that is NOT an NAS. -- iPhone

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Which USB Stick?

a Stick, no need for a Hub. Make sure the stick is not completely full as the Touch needs space on USB Stick to write DB info. I prefer using name brand quality USB Sticks. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as a server

is going to save the few watts of letting the HD sleep or be turned off, one might as well Eject the USB Drive and unplug the Touch also. When using TinySC, I just let the HD and Touch stay running. We are talking less then 9 Watts for a Touch and USB powered USB Drive. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch as a server

and powering off every time in general. Its just that I use my Touch so much, I feel its unnecessary wear and tear on the USB HD. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5

if later your equipment changes and you feel you want or need to use a DAC, you will already have the digital source for it. I think you will be very happy with your choice. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Scanner on Touch keeps crashing...

That would be the first place I would look also, sounds like there is album art larger then 600x600. In iTunes I don't know a quick way to go about finding large Album Art. Hopefully somebody that does will chime in. The better half wanted album art on all her iPhone music and when I had iTunes

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Ipod problem

for the Touch. The new ones will not work. As for playlists, when using TinySC, there is a 100 song playlist limit. The other things you are seeing are probably also TinySC limits or features that are not supported when using TinySC. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch won't connect

a warning page come up that says it is best to have an Internet connection when setting up the Touch for the first time so it can get the latest Firmware with an option to establish Connectivity or Proceed Without it! -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch won't connect

it looks like we would never have been able to get our hands on 3000 Touch units anyway. Pity, it would have been a fun project. The really sad thing is, we couldn't do this with Sonos or another NMP if we wanted to and cost wasn't an issue, they just don't have any model like the Touch! -- iPhone

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch + NAS advantages?

a DIY case with an Atom Motherboard. Use your current external drive as the backup drive (you need backup no matter what you decide to do). Your situation might be different, but if I were looking for the best results, that is what I would do. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL
