Somewhat reversing the initial question, is it possible to have the Touch share the local USB storage (whether it be SD card or USB disk) via CIFS? I like the idea of everything being self contained and having the ability to update songs via the network. Sorry if that has been covered before. I c

Thanks for the info. I'll look into this tinysbs. I'm a performance and automation tools architect. My daily job is software and system performance. I generally don't make performance statements without testing. That's why even when developers believe performance will be a certain way I generally

Sure, the UPnP mode should work. But we never built an SP UI for it, so it would only appear on ip3k players. On Apr 8, 2010, at 9:38 AM, autopilot wrote: > > SBS used to support upnp (still does?) with SBS operating as a proxy > as > Squeezebox dont do upnp, could that not be used if futur

Feel free to try it, there are a couple reasons we didn't implement it: * Would have to build a complex UI for browsing/selecting/logging in to network shares. * Performance would really suck because we'd need to store the database on the share. * If you have a network share, you could likely jus

I searched and didn't find a previous post so forgive me if this is a dupe. I also could not find the manuals to check. Can the touch be pointed to a network share for the files instead of using USB attached storage? -- pounce ---
