The Touch as a server is possibly OK with an attached USB stick or SD card with a very small library. (Try it). Attaching a 2TB drive with even a moderate size library will end in tears, the Touch doesn't have the guts, constantly crashing and then needs to re-scan the music files which can take hours, you wouldn't be able to play music during the scan. You have been advised elsewhere to run LMS on a Raspberry Pi, I would second that, superb! *Server - LMS 8.0.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Flirc case/pCP 6.1.0 18K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi3B+/pCP 5.0.0/pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/jivelite, *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 5.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Squeezebox Boom *Garage* - Squeezebox Touch > Edifier R980T *Spares* - 1xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xRadio, 7xRPi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112539 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
