I only bought the Touch to use as a player with my existing server. I was looking for an upgrade in sound quality over my SB3/Classic with an eye toward eliminating the external DAC. The Touch accomplished that goal for me so I'm happy with its performance in my system. However, I have to say it is disappointing to read that, after a four month release delay to get the built-in server working right, so many people seem to be having problems with this feature. My external drive never did finish a scan, even after 15 or 16 hours. It's a duplicate of the server drive's internal music directory where all 48,000 songs do a complete clear/recan in about 50 minutes. It sounds like the odds of success improve if one gives the built-in server 2 or 3 shots at the process. That doesn't strike me as very user friendly or within any any reasonable expectations of a non-geek user. It seems the built-in server becomes a real hit-or-miss as the size of the external drive increases. I hope that improves or I think a lot of people will be disappointed with the product. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77156 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
