(was going to post this as a new thread but its along the same lines...) I know that a lot of people have been using Squeezeboxes for years as network music players and have come to think of the network part of that as the prime function. The reason I waited for a Touch over a SQ3 (or any other SQ) was only because it was advertised as having its own internal sever and the ability to play direct from a USB. Reading through a lot of the threads on hear it appears I am not the only person who bought a Touch with this use in mind.
I don't want to moan on about how crap the internal server is on the Touch. My point is, I can't believe that it is such a massive problem in software terms to get a Touch to just reliably play files from a USB drive. I can get it to work (after a while) but I just don't understand how on earth this causes such a problem when it should be a really simple action for it to perform. I know its not got masses of processing power, but how much does it need to just reed files from a USB dive? Really, someone tell me if I am way off the mark here, is it not quite a simple thing in computing terms to do? The biggest quandary is how nobody thought it would be a good idea to put in an option to turn off all the external networking capabilities (or disable them or something) for people like me who will never use them. Surely this would at least cut down the load on the processor and help other things run better that I actually want to use. Can someone please tell me these sorts of issues are going to be looked at for future updates. I just want it to play music when I turn it on, how hard can that be? -- Dave (Northumberland) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave (Northumberland)'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37753 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78969 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
