127.0.0.1 is the local loopback address. Its one of the network standard addresses for the local device. Rfc3330 if I remember correctly dictates that 127.x.x.x is reserved for loopback addresses meaning it can't be routed on the Internet. Any device running a web server such as lms could be reached via http://127.0.0.1:9000 or http://x.x.x.x:9000 where x is the real ip address of the server and the web service is offered over port 9000. Basically, it means the touch was using it's own internal server and library. Not tested but this is the behaviour I'd expect if you used a memory stick with music on attached directly to the touch with no other network connectivity. -- UV101 SB3 Deep Blue screen - 2 Clocks, 3 Low noise regs, SEPC & ZA caps, External PSU 80VA, Hexfred & Mundorf SI, RA Signature PowerKord.
