Most people will tell you to use a real server, and they are probably right. I am personally happy using the Touch with an external USB drive, the trouble is that the Touch is extremely picky about many things, and so you need to be very disciplined and rigorous to make it work. I wrote a little howto on how to do it. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070&highlight=mastering+TinySB >From your symptom, I would suspect a flaky network connection. Please check in the diagnostic menu what's the status of your connection to mysqueezebox.com... If you don't have an absolutely rock solid network connection to the Internet, in my experience it will behave that way. So, first try the different wireless channel, and either invest in a better wireless router, an 802.11-Ethernet bridge or CAT6 cables. Your external hard drive could also be rubbish. Only a few hard drives can work powered by the USB bus. You should verify if other people report success or failure with the specific hard drive model you have.
