are you connected only to mysqueezebox.com? I assume so. There have been some problems this week with mysb.com (outages, etc.). So probably not related to your touch at all. But if you decide to trash it, I'll pay the postage to ship it to my house ;-) -- garym

You've had a Touch for a year and you haven't figured not to update a working system until it's proven in production for some period of time? Turn off the option in SBS that automatically notifies you that an upgrade is available. Then you won't get the upgrade message! -- ghostrider
