I agree with improving the touch's USB and SD card slot. I have problems
with the scanning and trying to use the internal server. You should be
able to copy folders from the LMS server computer to an SD card and it
should work without waiting forever for the scan to complete.
I would like a button/icon that is more robust the the current add to
