Shuffle is sadly a very demanding task for the server when you have a
Touch.
it just not a list of files it's probably caching all kind of artwork
and doing some real dB operations in the background.
Shuffling a 200 song playlist, especially press shuffle multiple times
! would freeze an 1,2gHz

Very interesting. I also noticed it's responding slower than my SBC at
times.
When I press 'play' in shuffle mode from a folder containing list of CD
folders, it is very fast on my 8 year old P4 system, the song would
start to play with a 1 or 2 second delay. But

Does it mean that using NAS is not recomended or their behaviour may
vary from model to model and you can find it out just empirically?
Yes, it depends on the model you are using. I was using a QNAP TS-209

those files just as easy as if they were on an attached USB

That's good, but does SBS scan the whole disk as TinySBS or may work

you can tell SbS the exact folder you want to scan and it will do that

So I had the squeezebox for a few days. While the touch screen and
larger display is very cool and a nice step up from the classic
squeezebox that I also own, the device does not seem to be quite at the

I see a factory reset in the menu, I'd like just a normal reset too.
