Hello all,
Many many thanks for all of your replies, I am fairly new to using FLAC files and was unaware there were different levels of compression. Is 5 an average level that won't put too much strain on the processor of the Touch? Would a lower level give me a better chance of smooth operation? I have not noticed controls to adjust sleep times for external hard drives I have used in the past, does anyone know if this is a standard option for all external hard drives? I am wondering whether I will be able to disable or adjust this on the Toshiba I have ordered. Flac is definitely what I shall use given the advice received here and I shall rip with EAC using MP3tag to tag the files. I won't bother with any artwork and shall try and keep everything neat and simple to give the Touch the best chance of smooth operation. Fingers crossed it will work as the external USB drive option is the most attractive feature and the main reason for this purchase.
