I couldn't find either of those for a reasonable price but saw a Seagate
GoFlex 250GB on Scan and took a flyer.
I can confirm that it works fine.

Can anyone recommend any specfic devices that fall within the above

LaCie Rikiki 250GB
Western Digital My Passport 250GB
Both devices have been reported by users as working with the Touch,
powered from USB.

I assume you are asking about a drive working when dirctly attached to
the USB port on the Touch. I cannot help w the drive you mentioned, but
I have used a Toshiba Canvio 1TB drive attached this way. It did work. I
did not have a plugins etc when I used the drive this way. I switched to

Bearing in mind that I'm in the UK (so some drives might not be
available over here) does anyone have any recommendations for a USB
drive? I'm looking at the Samsung S2 1TB, but being aware from other
posts that the Touch is a bit touchy would there be any particular
problems with this?

Many USB bus powered drives _do_ work with the Touch. Note that they're
all 2.5 drives or smaller. Many people have had good luck with the
Toshiba Canvio external drives. If the hard drive is powered, or if you
run it from a powered USB hub, then just about any drive should work.
I'm not sure
The key point is that the connected drive, if not powered externally,
must not draw more than 500 mA (or 2.5 W) when running (case included).

Agreed that this is the recommendation.

One additional question (for now)...
How does it work having two duets hooked up with two remotes? I would
prefer to have a remote for each receiver since they would be located on
two different floors within our house. The appeal of going upstairs to
get the remote to listen to music downstairs

Each Controller has a way to set which device it is controlling. So
you can have a Controller that sometimes controlls the Receiver in the
Library, sometimes the Transporter in
Thanks for all the information Pat. Looking at everything, I could get
two duets and the powerline adapters allowing me to hard wire both
receivers for much less than the Sonos system. That would allow each
receiver to have its own controller, which is obviously preferred over
sharing a
I'd suggest buying the powerline adaptors from someplace that accepts
returns with no hassles. Just as you describe your house as Wifi
hostile, some houses are powerline ethernet unfriendly for a variety of
reasons. Good luck

Just to be sure, the controllers use wifi to control the receiver (as

Yes. The controllers use Wifi to get the commands

No, the Touch has a screen and its touch sensitive.
The Duet is really a Controller and a Receiver.

You should also consider other parts of the Squeezebox line.
You seem to indicate that your master bedroom configuration includes CD

It sounds to me like you should REALLY consider the Classic (AKA SB3).
It is, in fact, LESS powerful in terms as processor than the Duet

Thanks for the recommendation. I guess my confusion was partially
because I didn't realize that the controller and the receiver included

John,
Thank you very much for the break down. It does indeed help. Today has
been a day of learning. I went from knowing very little to knowing more
than I thought existed!
I have all but decided to order a touch for the bedroom and one for the
living room. The controller that comes with the
