I know that I can play music on the Touch with my computer off. I have my music collection on an external hard drive that I have directly connected to the Touch. What I want is the option of controlling the Touch with my PC. In other words, I'd like to be able to scroll through or search for music on my laptop (as I could directly on the Touch), and have the Touch play the music I select. I'd like to be able to create playlists on my laptop and then have the Touch play that playlist. I thought I would be able to do that through the Squeezebox Server, but haven't been successful. Oh, and the music I want to access is the music on the hard drive attached to the Touch, not music I have on my laptop. Is that possible? The Squeezebox Server (7.5) doesn't "see" my Touch. -- crimscrem ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crimscrem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37536 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77417 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
