A long time Squeezebox user, from the release of the Squeezebox 2 on, I have a mix of nine SB2s, SB3s, radios and now a Touch in my home. Currently running LMS locally on a Vortexbox.
In reference to the SB2/3, the Touch seems to be less than optimal in terms to the user experience in a couple of areas - or perhaps it's just my lack of familiarity?? 1. Power-on/off from the touchscreen. When the Touch is playing, I seem to have to tap the back arrow a bunch of times until I get the option to switch it off. Am I missing something? I believe that power on/off is a key-function that should always be shown. 2. Quick launch favorites. With the SB2/3, we use the IR remote long number press quick launch feature quite a bit. For example, to go from OFF to listening to NPR, takes just a long #1 press on the remote; similarly Radio Paradise is launched with #3. In comparison, on the Touch, if there is a quick-launch feature from the IR remote, I haven't been able to find it. From the touchscreen UI, I seem have to do these steps: a. tap the screen to wake it b. tap the ON-OFF icon to switch on c. tap the back arrow repeatedly until I get to the Home screen d. tap favorites e. tap the desired favorite Please tell me there is an easier way. I'd love to be able to have quick access to favorites both via the touchscreen and IR remote. Thanks, and I'd also love some pointers and tips from Touch power users to help get up to speed. Finally, I have the Touch in a semi-custom install mounted on a bar back splash with hidden wires, hidden amp and wall mounted NHT Classic Two speakers. If there is interest, I will take photos and post to the custom install forum.
