I just had a thought, there might actually be a way to make this work without changing anything:
Disconnect the drive from the Touch and plug it into a nother computer. On the disk delete the .Squeezebox directory. Create a new directory at the top level and put ONE song in it. Back on the Touch edit the server.prefs file and change the music to be this new directory you created. Plug the drive in. It will go to the new directory and do a full scan, which should take, oh half a second. (ok I exaggerate, it will take 1.5 seconds). Then use the music folder technique to select and play songs. I'm pretty sure you can use "music folder" to play a song thats not in the official music path. It may take some time to play start playing a song as it scans the file, but it probably will work. So how to change the server prefs? You can SSH into the touch and use vi to edit the file. If you've never used vi before that may be a bit of a learning curve. There is another option. Erland has a testing version of an applet that is supposed to let you modify server prefs from the Touch's screen. I haven't used it yet so I don't have the details, but it probably will do this. I won't have time until tomorrow night to try it out. Anybody else want to step and try this?
