Question: Using the Touch's embedded SBS...
    
- I plan to use it as my main server/library
- I plan to use it occasionally, such as when a friend brings around
  a USB drive
- I have no interest it using it at all really
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the answers.

My underrstanding of MySB.com is that it provides services the 'dumb'
thin client players can't provide when there is no local SBS on a
dedicated machine, like 'Favourites storing', 'player configuration' or
'alarm functionality' for example. Now what would I need the MySB.com SC
servers for for the Touch with TinySC anymore?

Won't at least the display suffer excessive wearing from 'Always on'?

But you can set 'Bitrate Limiting' manually for specific players, which
is what I meant. But I guess I will simply resort to Powerline
networking to get a connection to my Boom in the kitchen. :-)
