When I first received it, I could actually listen to any music on the external USB drives without issues. Then, over time, as the scan progressed, the capacity of the device was drained. Ultimately the scan aborted. Now, I can't listen to any music any more as it starts playing, stops after 5 seconds, needs 2 minutes to serve up the next 5 seconds worth of music and so on ... I am pretty sure that this is due to exhausting resources for the stupid library that I don't even use (I am always navigating by folder as I am too lazy to tag all of my music, I know there are tools but I don't see the benefit ...). To your theory: I did a factory defaults reset (multiple times, actually) and last time "let it do its thing" for one week (!) after turning it on (that's with a 2TB drive that has 1.5TB of FLAC files on it). So not letting it do its thing (when I first got it) and just start using it before it commits suicide by allocating all of its resouces to the library worked best for me (contrary to your hypothesis), -- SQez ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SQez's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38262 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78969 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
