However, I'd go so far as claiming that clicking the "Mysqueezebox" button did not actually wipe your hard drive, it would have made your music inaccessible from your Touch until you reconnected to LMS, but still there on the hard drive. I suspect that the menu option to switch to Mysqueezebox is actually there, it's just that on a Touch it's hidden in a rather unintuitive place. Either way, since you say that you're able to play some music from your library, any problems you have with accessing your files are completely unrelated to mysqueezebox, at this stage I suggest it's irrelevant. alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110785 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

So perhaps we can be angry with Spotify for not keeping an abandoned API running indefinitely. But you did not pay anyone to make it work with your SBT. Spotify made this API and library available at no cost, Logitech made the app available at no cost and provided hosting for it on mysqueezebox.com at no cost to you. And either way, Logitech isn't going to keep mysqueezebox running forever, considering that the Squeezebox line was dropped long ago (in consumer electronics terms) so it would never be a long term solution even if Spotify hadn't shut it down.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] No such thing as a stupid question
I can appreciate that it's difficult pick out any valid information given the amount of talk around here about more or less irrelevant modifications. If you get rebuffering when running the server on your computer then it's 99% certain that your network is to blame. First approach is divide and conquer, connect it via ethernet and see if it works better. If it's OK then basic wireless troubleshooting tips apply (check for interfering products, try to find a less congested channel etc). No need to re-encode anything. You don't need to install anything extra if you wan't to attach your USB directly to the Touch, there are however mixed experiences with this setup and it might take a bit of tinkering to get up and running.

Neither did I claim it was a wireless problem. Thing is you definitely do want to have a server, otherwise it just will not run. It's just that you want to use your Touch as both server and a player, which it is designed to do and the server software is already installed. Sadly this comes with some limitations and somewhat of a lottery as to how well it will work with your files and your drive etc. The other (and generally more reliable if not always desirable) option is to have the server software (LMS) running on some other hardware in your network, could be a desktop, laptop, dedicated server hardware such as a NAS. As for stupid questions, there are at least better and worse ways to ask for support. Try breaking it down in separate well defines problems instead of slapping in a big post with a large number of questions, speculations and statements. You obviously the server software (LMS) installed on some computer as you have been able to play FLAC files, this was however hampered by what is most likely a network problem, treat that as one problem. You also have problem getting the internal server in the Touch to work with your hard drive, treat that as a different problem.

I don't see the problem here. It's a player with a display which happens to double as a local (as opposed to remote) control. Convenient when you're up close without detracting from the usability when you're not. I'm just guessing here, but I expect that today a touch screen could often be a cheaper alternative than controls of a more mechanical fashion. Continuing to guess since I haven't used a Touch; local control might not seem all that necessary, but given that there is no web interface to the server, having some other way than the remote to configure and maintain the server makes good sense. So, even if some users might not use the touchscreen on a daily basis it probably doesn't add much or anything to the price, doesn't get in the way when it's not used and let's face it, most of our gadgets have functions we rarely or never use. -- alfista alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74610 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Has the Touch release date been delayed?

Basically, the management board devise the strategy, make someone responsible for making it happen and allocate the resources (financial, physical and personnel) to facilitate this. The normal way this functions is that Developers get on with developing, not with stopping developing to respond to forum questions - no wonder everything is running later and later. The person responsible for executing the strategy creates a team with the aim of everything coming together at an agreed date. The Sales and Marketing guys then do their bit with the aim of getting the market poised to respond on the agreed date (possibly plus a contingency period). A thorough description of a development procedure under which there never would have been a Slim Device to begin with.

DaveKen;496179 Wrote: I give up !!! No one needs to have first hand information to reach the conclusion that the Touch 'team', if it can be called a team, is disfunctional - the fact is self evident. Please stop attacking me for stating an obvious truth, IMHO, it is not me that this thread is about. it is the delay in the launch of the Touch. Well, if you (like I) don't know what their objective is and don't know if they're on track or how the work progresses, then I don't know how you can determine whether they are dysfunctional or not. DaveKen;496179 Wrote: Incidentally, if no one from Logitech has issued a launch date, then there is no delay and this whole thread is pointless.No official launch date that I'm aware of, so DaveKen;496179 Wrote: Is the launch delayed or is it not, and why is it that no one from Logitech can OFFICIALLY be arsed to confirm what the current position is. Surely I, as a customer who has forwarded payment for a product, am entitled to an answer to my enquiries about likely delivery date??I'd like to turn things around, rather than complaining about the delay it seems like the actual fault may have been to make it available for pre-order. I do agree that those who have ordered and paid should be notified about any changes in deliver plans that occur after placing the order. -- alfista alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71178 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch or NAS

Not according to the beta testers, it will only access locally mounted disks. -- alfista alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72566 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
