As far as I am concerned, don't know if you can extrapolate, I would say - external usb device (usb stick or external disk) - memory cards - url to internet service (usually poor sound quality) - device like Smartphones or an Ipods As far as Touch is concerned, I am mostly thinking about USB stick or memory card, either directly plug to the Touch, or through the computer. The most stupid thing in this story is the following : - I have a computer with internal SSD and Windows 7 x64 - I boot it faster than a Touch - Almost every information used for basic and daily search are present in the file names of my flac files - The search field of Windows 7 file explorer (with SSD, indexing disable) allow me to find almost instantly whatever I want without using tags ... This means that for me a simple software with an "Open file" button to select music files ans send it to the Touch, would be better, faster and more user friendly than SBS database browsing ... When you have a computer available, the number one basic method to choose a file on it, is to browse your folders ... Allow SBS or TinySBS to disable any scan whatsoever, and provide simple folder browsing, you get something simple 99% of people will use without any hassle ... When a friend brings you a file, why should it be more complicated than bringing a CD ? (I forgot that, a friend can bring a CD, you rip it, and use the files, it still happens sometimes) Now tell him than with TinySBS, you will have to rescan (how many hours ?) your disk if you disconnect ot to play your friend usb stick, or tell him you have to copy his file in the specific music folder for SBS, and wait for the scan ... Any sensible person will ask you if you are not insane ... -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90063 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
