I use a Vortexbox as a server for my Touch and the system works without problem and is very stable. You can buy a Vortexbox PC ready to go or you can build your own and download the preconfigured operating system for free. (I did the latter using a Foxconn Atom-based PC.) The use of an external server running LMS is the better way to go IMO. Many people also use a NAS, but the only catch with those is some models tend to be underpowered in terms of CPU/RAM capability when it comes to running LMS. If you go that route, I'd recommend checking the forums to see which NAS models other users recommend. That's the key when it comes to using a Touch. They are a wonderful player, but some setups work better than others. Instead of reinventing the wheel, use the forums to find the gear & configurations that have been most successful for others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97968 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
