they're doing that is causing performance problems.
Pick the .tgz flavour to get all the code:

Squeezeboxserver is written in perl ?
Squeezeplay is written in Lua (the software running the controller).
ideally you want to look into both to track issues.

The currently selected one needs to be in memory. You probably want
nearby ones to be in memory too for someone scrolling up and down the
playlist,
So what will happen if I attach a USB hard drive to a new Touch, and
there is a folder with over 100 songs and a few images in it? Will the
scan crash?
If it does scan properly, and I then want to play all the tracks in
that folder, would that not work? Couldn't I just navigate to that
folder

If when using Touch in the TinySC self server mode having a 100 song

opinion that you

Scanning has nothing to do with playlists, it just registers all tracks
on the drive in the database so that you

Sadly this is not a Tiny Server only problem. It really is a problem
for every one of us.
Try to shuffle a large playlist when you have an Squeezeplay device
Touch or Radio as player.
It's very very inefficient, my little via 1.2gHz based fanless server.

But be aware that - according to the release notes - playlists on the

The Touch only allows playlists of 100 songs? That seems rather
limiting.

OK, I see 'here'
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Touch_as_a_Home_Music_Server#No_Configurable_Settings)
that when using the Touch as a home music server, The maximum playlist
length is capped at 100 tracks. I don't quite understand exactly what
this means.
I assume it's saying

Not also. It's describing exactly the scenario you describe. It's a

I'm starting to get the sense that the Touch is a giant software bug
that also plays music.

Is there at least an option to remove played tracks automatically from
the current playlist so that you can keep adding albums as it plays, or
do you need to remove 15 tracks or so
I have now successfully test 2 USB hard drives and I'm going with my
500gb
Iomega 2.5 drive. Cost £55.00 from Comet.
With the drive connected directly to the Touch is it possible to build
up on the fly playlists from within the Touch ?
If so, what is the easiest way to do it ?
Thanks

Can't speak for the Harmony, but the Touch IR remote will work using
the + button and/or the arrows.
I'd suggest, in the beginning, make a bogus-test Playlist and start
adding to it
If I ever buy a Touch (that is, if it becomes available at all in
Germany, and at a less ridiculous price than what is currently
advertised on the Logitech site), reversing the touch and touch+hold
actions when building playlists will probably be my first lua hack. :)
But be aware that -
Is there any way to re-order items in the Current Playlist on the Touch,
as there is in the web interface? Without that, I would think creating
playlists on the Touch would be even more tedious.

The only way I have found so far (with Desktop SqueezePlay) is the Play

you want to move a
