SqueezeboxServer (SbS) has to run somewhere. Either on a PC or on a NAS that can run it (like the readynas units that can run SbS or a vortexbox. All these things (PC, NAS, votexbox, etc. are all PCs, it is just that some of them are PCs without monitors or keyboards). I think you are trying to just plug your drive into the router (to make the files available to the network). That won't work. Something, somewhere needs to be running SbS. If you just want the files on a disk and no pc/no nas, etc., you can try plugging the USB drive into the TOUCH itself and using the TOUCH's "tinySbS". It is picky about how the USB drive is formatted, etc. and some have more luck with this than others. And it is a "stripped down" version of SbS to boot. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87322 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
