Can you confirm that it is impossible to use the Controller when the SB

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. The Touch and SBC both

Ok, one (?) last question:
If the Touch is playing from an USB drive with let's say 20GB of music,
where does it store the database then? I would suppose it can only store
it in RAM, but this would also mean that the database is lost when
switching off. Thus the whole drive would need to be

Hm, a standalone player could be connected to the LAN or internet as
well. Standalone only means that it doesn't need a server, not
necessarily that it doesn't have a network connection.
Indeed, if the Touch can play files from an USB drive, it should be

The Touch is primarily a player, these extra features have been dropped
out because the developers wanted

I wonder how this is handled internally. Does the Touch run a (stripped

completely different software that has nothing to do with

I assume you can swap SD cards but I don't know the mechanism. Each SD

I meant to continue that post :)
When you insert an SD card it gets mounted and scanned. A database is
created at this point. If you attach a USB drive, that also gets scanned
and the two are both available to play from. If you remove the SD card,
that data is then removed and the music on it
