Dunno. It could be what you've described above. Either he couldn't set the external drive plugged into his PC to work with the Touch, or couldn't get the Touch to work with the external drive that was plugged in straight into Touch. Whichever it is, he ended up throwing his hands up in exasperation and returned the thing. Couldn't resolve it in a satisfactory manner, despite the fact that he wanted it to work so badly. And yes, he was trying to work it out with Logitech sales force. Is that Logitech's problem? I think it is. The product must be designed in such a way that a non-technical person can use it. Otherwise, it's a narrow niche product, meaning no economies of scale can enter. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88540 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
