Like Toby10, I would suggest a router rather than connecting directly between the PC and squeezebox. They are very cheap these days and will make it very easy to expand (either squeezeboxes or computers) later one. Regarding J.River, I use it myself to create playlists. If you run J.River on the same machine that is running squeezeboxserver, you will have no trouble. Otherwise, conversion of pathnames will have to be done. For instance, I have a linux server running squeezeboxserver for me and I use J.River on my laptop to generate playlists. To take care of the fact that the pathnames to the music files on my Linux machine are different than on my laptop, I have a script that runs to automate the conversion. Hopefully the Touch will be released sooner rather than later so you can get started. Have fun! -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
