You are aware that the internal server is a rough hack? It might be
struggling
Handling 24/96 files from the TinyLMS is right on the edge of what the
Touch can do. If you are using FLAC the compression number is actually
important here. If you are using a high number (say 8) you can push the
Touch over the edge. Try using a low compression number (0 or 1), it
might work

I do a lot of comparisons of masterings/pressings so I'm not new to
this. I don't go by
Hmm... So you are using the internal server, and have no network traffic
at all? I wonder if you have an issue where the USB traffic interferes
with the flac encoding and playing (or vice versa). As there is no
network traffic involved, the amount of traffic is not relevant, but the
small

How did you convert some of your WAVs to FLAC, and what compression
value did you use?

There is no processing/transcoding when using Touch's TinyLMS, Touch
isn't capable of it.

With network connection playing WAV files on SBT has been measured to
have a higher processing load than playing Flac due to more than double
the amount of data to be
Thank you very much for your responses.
Let me take up the various points:
1. Just for information, the scanning time for the disk is in the 10-15
minute range if I have simply added a few CDs or if the system has been
powered down for another reason. If I erase the database and start
afresh,

Interesting. I'll have to try FLAC then. :) I'll report back later on
my findings. (Sound quality, etc)
