There is only one LMS onboard the Touch and it should get activated when you plugin an USB drive . If there is no USB drive it is not active afaik ? While the USB drive is connected and Touch is clearly using it you should be able to go to " my music " on the radio and it should connect if you ha

One simple approach is to enter all your favorites at mysqueezebox.com (enter URLs for favorites, or simply connect player to mysb.com as source, navigate to your favorites, then save). So when done, all your favorites are at mysqueezebox.com. Then even when you are connected instead to a local
