I think you have just listed your own problem. I would bet a dime to a donut that its the FreeAgent USB drive. They like to go to sleep. If it were me, I would eject the FreeAgent and plug it into a PC. Then I would check the settings and disable spin down/sleep mode. Actually if it were really me, I would go out and buy one of the Toshiba USB powered USB drives. I have been using the Toshibas problem free for over 9 months now with TinySC. I have a large FreeAgent external powered USB drive and had to disable the spin down to get it to play nice with the Touch. Haven't had issue one since then when using it with the Touch. Worth a shot, and if no joy, one can always buy a Toshiba. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78386 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
