A few stations play at higher bitrates like 192kbps or 256 or even above, but 128 is very common, as well as some execrable 64 or lower.
Yes, research the Vortexbox + external drive some more rather than taking my only quasi-informed word for it. I would guess that the issue, if there is one, is making sure the OS mounts the drive before trying to load Squeezebox Server (SBS). If SBS is loaded and the drive isn't recognized yet it will think you have zero tracks in your library. But a rescan after the drive is recognized should put things back to normal. This issue exists to one degree or another with all OSs. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84302 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
