I understand the new Touch will be able run in standalone mode directly accessing a music library on a USB drive via TinySC, and then act as SB Server for other Squeezebox players in the network. Will the SB Server within Touch be able to perform transcoding for the other Squeezebox players? Ive seen another thread implying that the sbs in Touch wont perform transcoding. Ouch! This can be a real limitation! Can / will the ability to perform transcoding be added sometime later to sbs in the Touch, as part of a firmware update?
Id like to get the new Touch (for all it can do) especially this new capability to run it in standalone mode - no longer needing to have a PC always running, to have sbs - while the Touch provides the sbs music library access for other Squeezebox players. Ive already got a couple SB3s, and my LARGE music library is already all ripped w iTunes in the AppleLossless format ( because I also have iPods ). With my AppleLossless formatted music - Ill need transcoding to be able to play my other SB3s, if I want to have a new Touch thats running standalone attached to the USB drive music library. Help ! Thanks!
