I don't think Logitech has made any announcement about putting back the

Hi Dave,
I've only recently got involved interested in the Touch but I thought

No. The Touch's internal server won't be able to access music attached
to the network. It can only access directly
Is SB touch able to display international characters, like Chinese and
Japanese? What about the file names in Chinese or Japanese?
