just to update and thanks to all that helped.
Finally got it working this weekend. I converted all the wavs to flacs
using media monkey and also tagged them using Mp3tag. Connected it back
to the Logitech and worked first time.
My conclusion is Windows media player is poor for ripping. Going

Why would you re-rip your CDs? As long as the rips to WAV went ok
(although you can't be 100% sure with WMP...) then all you would need to
do is convert the WAV to FLAC, which you could do with Media Monkey,
dBpoweramp, foobar2000, and several other packages.
However, you

Ok. no joy. deleted all album cover artwork so the only thing that

each artist folder is album folder with the tracks inside that.

I dont want a dedicated server tbh. My whole point of going this route

Keep in mind that the dedicated server could be the size of a paperback

having to spend another £300 for a fitpc2 just to get this to work seems
crazy and not something Logitech state thats required. Not sure how a
sheevaplug works,
Still no joy. none of the artwork jpegs are over 200 x 200 pixels. even
renamed them all in case it was a long file name. reckon now I am just
gonna remove all the album cover pictures and see if that works. If it
does then I'll test a couple of albums with re tagging them with new
cover

Thanks for all the replys chaps
all the music is in folders by artist. inside each artist folder is each
album in separate folder.
the post abot album artwork might be it. if I browse images on the USB

Hi

FLAC would have been better as it has better metadata support ?
How do you tag the WAV files ? ( what are you ripping with ) most
rippers don't tag them at all afaik ,so you be left with file and folder
names as only info source ( no metadata about artists and album and such

I don't know if this is still the case, but when I first got my Touch
and tried to use the USB one thing you had to do was, leave it totally
alone possibly overnight to let it totally finish the scan. Yes it can
take a few hours for it to actually finish, and during that
