I'm not Andy, but as I'm currently beta testing the Touch, I'll give you some answers anyway.

The Touch requires write access to the mass media storage device connected to it (be it a SD card or a USB HDD), because the embedded server needs to be able to write its database file and artwork cache files somewhere. FWIW, these files weigh around 90MB for my 15K+ tracks library, so storing them on the Touch's internal mass storage is not an option: it's just too tight. adydula;486628 Wrote: > I was happily surprised to get a 2nd level support answer and now it > seems that there is a even more current update about read and write for > NTFS? Full NTFS support is being tested right now. As far as I can tell from other testers' reports (I'm not using NTFS myself), it looks like it's working as good as EXT3 or FAT32. -- sebp Transporter, SB Classic, SB Receiver, SB Boom, SB Radio, SB Touch, 2 SB Controllers Will soon need a bigger home - 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/sebp) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sebp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
