I've not tried using a big USB hard drive. But at this point, since the Touch has only been in use for a week or so, I'm not really surprised that some folks are having problems. I would not call it "a lot" because right now, there are not really a lot of people who have a Touch in their hands. As I wrote earlier, the CPU in the touch and the amount of memory is limited. So it would not be a shock if it had issues with big drives with tons of files. >> I only intend to use the Touch to play tunes from my NAS via ethernet. >> This method then would not use the in-built server in the Touch, >> correct? Correct. There is no reason to even start the built-in server. I see the built-in server as being perfect for when a buddy brings over a USB stick, or iPod, with music and you just want to listen. It would never occur to me to try to use it on a 500GB disk drive. That's what real computers are for. And the "real computer" doesn't have to be much. For years, I used a 500mHz Pentium-3 with maybe 512MB of ram. These days, you can get a fine computer for under $50 on craigslist, or from businesses that are literally throwing them away. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
