The Touch has SqueezeBox Server, which is needed for any SqueezeBox to play your own music files. It also works as a NAS (network attached storage) device, which I guess is what you mean by "disk station"? So, yes, with the Touch you wouldn't need a separate computer (PC, Mac, NAS.. ) to run the SB Server on. And your USB stick should be perfectly fine. I don't think you even need to do a lot of installing software for any of this to work. The Touch is of course also a player that can be connected to any audio system, and the touch screen can be used to control other players as well, such as your SBR. This is all of course what I've read here on the forum. I don't have one myself, yet. Regarding the SB Receiver, it won't do anything else than receive a stream from the server and play it. -Skinny -- Skinny This sentence says less than a list of audio equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skinny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72888 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
