Thanks John for taking the time to explain, I appreciate it. To put things into context: I bought the Beosound 2 as soon as it came out (I preferred it over the original iPod which was available around that time). So from that you can probably guess that the only thing I care about is the music, I can well do without any information besides the filename (and that's a freebie even without a database, right?). The big colour display doesn't matter to me, I have 2 Transporters right now and they do all I need. Now, in my case I bought the Touch (rather than another Transporter) because I don't have a network at work to connect up with. The perspective of just putting the music on a harddisk and being able to listen to it in high quality (as opposed to e.g. using my PC) was appealing to me. The Touch is currently connected to a dedicated headphone amp (Ray Samuels Emmeline 2 Raptor) that is driving Sennheiser HD800s. The sound quality of the Touch is really good and I had no issues using it with my Squeezebox network at home. But as I said before: all I now get after the scan terminated is 5 seconds of music - 2 minutes of silences - 5 seconds of music - ... I guess anybody would agree that not having metadata information displayed is a small price to pay for being able to listen to music *at all*?
