Thank you so much John! You where correct in suspecting that WiFi could be the cause of the problem. Well, as it turned out, it is *the* major cause of the problem! I spend many hours finding out why the Touch would crash on WiFi, but worked fine when connected to cable. I'm not certain if this is related to the brand and/or model of WiFi modem-router I am using - it's a Linksys WAG54GP2 Firmware V2.01.06. The Touch works perfectly fine as long it is the *one and only* WiFi device connecting to the Linksys modem-router, but as soon as another device connects to it the Touch crashes! I confirmed this by shutting down all devices connecting to the WiFi network except the Touch and played music, changed from local (USB & SD) to various internet radio streams, changed options and settings etc. It all worked fine until I stared my netbook and connected to the WiFi network. Within seconds the Touch stopped playing music and crashed! As it is impractical to run a LAN cable throughout my entire dinning room and lounge, I opted for a second WiFi router and configured that router (a Netgear WPN824 firmware V2.0.120_1.0.15) for the Touch only. Also made the Touch's WiFi IP address static, so I could restrict the WiFi router to that IP address only - this way nothing else can connect to it while the Touch is in use! Have tested this setup extensively and it seems to work fine.
