Does anyone know how to change the sequence during startup? I assume that it is necessary to make the wireless LAN connection before SC starts up. I just got my USB drive back from warranty repair. I'll probably just switch back to using it. The new Touch sounds like a good idea, mount the drive

My OS has no problem with the drive. It shows up in Windows Explorer just fine. It is SC that loses it. Actually the contents of the library still shows in SC but trying to play a file is where it goes wrong. I've only seen this happen with the NAS. I have to suspect that the connection to the

Regalma1, as another solution as to when things start up, I would suggest to not have SC automatically start up with Windows. After the system comes up and your drives are connected, then start SC manually and make sure that this really is your problem. It does sound logical and it probably is,

I have an XP based laptop which has SC loaded on it. I use a NAS for my library. The laptop is on WiFi, my SB and NAS is ethernet. This works fine most of time. Then I will lose my connection to my library. Everything looks right on SC, and the SB shows Now Playing but nothing happens. After

I don't use Windows for SC/SbS, so I can't help you with the specifics. However, as to the general problem I suspect that when booting, Windows is loading SC before your NAS drive gets logically attached to the system. SC looks at where you've indicated the library is (eg, \\NAS\music), sees

This is yet another reason (I now have about 20) why using a NAS purely as an audio drive makes no sense - much better to use a USB disk for this purpose. Sorry. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... SB Touch Beta
