A reboot/restart often solves lots of computer issues. And the TOUCH is
a computer (albeit tiny one).  The Touch is in fact using a server when
it plays files from your USB drive. It is not using a server running on
a separate computer (that is, LMS). Instead it is running the server
software itself (i.e., TinyLMS). So the Touch has a very limited amount
of computer power, just enough to run a stripped down LMS server.  And
people do take advantage of some of this process power to try to improve
the audio quality and/or add functionality. For example, Triode's EDO
applet for the TOUCH adds the ability to play 24/192 files (normally
touch plays only 24/96 files) and adds the ability to connect certain
DACs to the TOUCH via USB rather than the S/PDIF or TOSLINK digital
connections of the Touch.  None of this is necessary for good audio of
course as the TOUCH is a remarkable piece of kit right out of the box.
