There are several of us using Vortexbox with squeezeplay installed and
this does include all the above features, except for the controller,
i.e. like a screenless touch. The Vortexbox is normally run headless
(without a screen) so you can use anything with a browser or Ipad touch
etc.

It may be possible to get it working with a touchscreen attached, but I
am not going to worry about that.

Andrew is talking about the Vortexbox player which gives you hires, but
not gapless, no syncing and no spotify. I have also tried softsqueeze
install which does all bar hires.

There are instructions for installing squeezeplay over at vortexbog.org
forum; although there is no out of the box install....yet

Personally I think one of the reasons why Logitech is letting the touch
go is because squeezeplay is the tweakers player. The touch is just a
hardware implementation of it, and I bet they don't make much per unit.
