Perhaps somebody could clear this up. Both the Duet, specifically the controller, and the Touch are based on SqueezeOS. The controller and Touch share a good bit of functionality - playback, ability to control any other player, change player settings, etc. I would surmise that this means there is a significant amount of common code between the two devices. Am I out in left field with this? Calling the Duet a "disaster" is extreme, but it definitly had some growing pains that had nothing to do with network configuration. The initial setup didn't handle a server that had security enabled well and there was a bug where the controller would lockup and reboot itself when navigating the music library. Fast foward to today and the Duet is a much better and stable product. In my mind, part of the success of the Touch is due the stability and maturity that the Duet has attained. Am I out in left field again? -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch. SuSE 11.0 Server running SqueezeBoxServer 7.5.0, MusicIP, and SqueezeSlave.
