Actually, what I was aiming at (and how were you to know) was this: >From the Squeezebox wiki: "Powering Squeezebox Touch OFF A Squeezebox Touch with an attached USB hard drive [or, in my case, an sd card] can be left powered ON continuously. If you wish to turn Squeezebox Touch OFF, you must follow this sequence: 1. Stop Squeezebox Server by going to Settings->Advanced->Squeezebox Server->Stop Squeezebox Server 2. Unplug power cord from Squeezebox Touch" I can confirm that this sequence has to be followed; powering off without stopping the server first results in trouble upon restarting. This should be easier. People shouldn't be bothered with technicalities in order to be able to save power, i.e. the server shouldn't cause problems when restarting from a 'raw' power off. Generally, I really like the Touch; great sound, great functionality - and the low power consumption when playing is simply impressive. I'm fine with the fact that turning it off with the remote or via the screen does not shut it down, no problem at all, all I ask for is not having to follow a procedure in order to turn off the power. I apologize for having been offensive. Here's a list of Average power per capita, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_consumption Kind regards Michael -- Mchl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mchl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80447 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
