Great responses, lots of excellent information and (invaluable) hands on experiences - many thanks! I still like the concept and features of the Touch for my purposes since:
a) I have a severe allergy to iTunes. It's genetic and untreatable. I've tried medication - no use. If a solution is predicated on using i* then it isn't in my future. b) I have no need for video. A want, yes, but no bandwidth to support it out here in the wilds of the Sonoran Desert. Likely to be true in perpetuity. The one thing that sounds sub-optimal is (if I understand correctly) the rescanning/restructuring of the connection and the library if the server goes down. I run World Community Grid 24/7 so the laptop is almost always on, but there are times when I need an update or (more often) a rare, flightless parrot in New Zealand belches and our "robust" local grid goes down for hours and hours. Is this (server reboot) much of an issue? I have ~160 GB of audio and I don't relish the idea of having to wait for a scan of it all very often. Thanks to all once again for the excellent assistance and education! -- RockinFX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RockinFX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88215 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
