I know it's an understatement that the past year has been challenging

Looking forward to getting my Touch.

There are now lots of options for streaming music from a computer or

I think this latest confusion is just because they were trying to get it

More questions, TIA, once again:

most of the tracks stream at 320kbps, a few at 256.

Plugging headphones into the headphone jack does not turn off anything

The one thing you can't do is have separate volumes between them, the
