That wasn't my experience and I've got 46,000 tracks on my drive. (I've got two backups and tried both of them.) I'm not saying that the Touch's Tiny SBS doesn't work for some people as intended, but one can see from these forums that things have been pretty erratic. My Squeezebox experience dates back 8 or 9 years to the very first SliMP3 so its not like this is my first exposure. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78335 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
