Touch runs a cut down LMS as a server to fit memory and processor power.
So no plugin, no web UI and if you plan to serveryour 4xSB3s and 3xSBBs
from Touch - I wouldn't try it.

Anyone running Touch as an LMS Server? Is it recommended? My NAS drive
running VortexBox is not fanless so is noisy, I'm considering attaching

If people are doing this, can you recommend an external 2TB USB drive
that can silently stay on 24/7 ?

The Radio menu in LMS comes from TuneIn (tunin.com) - not to be confused
with Tune-In (in Germany - who provide a similar service to some
non-Squeezebox internet radio hardware devices).
Everyone, thanks for your help. I went to my friend's and we setup the

going to work for him. I do appreciate the guidance.
One remaining thing is porting the favorites from mysqueezebox.com to

I don't know if TinySC supports player favorites (i.e. favorites.opml)
in the same way as LMS, but if it does the opml file must be on the

Curious, with touch as a server, would the option to switch to mysb.com
still be available on the menus? This would address the https streaming.
No, it would not, as mysb can't stream those either.

I have been working on a sb setup for a friend who is not only not
techie, he can react poorly to anything complicated or things not
working as expected. Combine that with distance and infrequent short
visits, its been a challenge.
We went through a few iterations of extra players I had on hand
I've been running the Touch in stand alone mode since launch and not had
any major issues apart from software releases.
Stand alone mode
Pros - cost
Convenience
Power consumption
Same sound quality as running server setup
Cons - Doesn't fully support Sounchecks mods
Doesn't fully support
Standalone = no plugins at all
Higher resolution (beyond 24/96) is because the Touch's built in server
cannot transcode at all, including higher resolution to lower
resolution.
Addl cons:
slow scans
can't turn off unnecessary scans (turn of HDD)

Great, thanks.
The only limitation I can see of using the tiny server is the lacking
of the web interface, which I only use to configure some advanced
settings.
As long as you can configure those settings in a different way (using
the controller, via ssh etc etc) the Touch could work for me.

Maybe more accurately stated as Touch's server can only stream files
that your players can play natively. Touch will stream anything that
doesn't require transcoding for a particular player.
Another notable limitation is that there is no web interface for either
playback control or settings.
