Hi Mark, glad youre sticking it out with the SB Touch. I felt I had to chime in on some of the issues brought up in this thread. Like you, I too stressed out at first try setting up a standalone Touch, but I eventually got it working. I just ordered my second SB Radio yesterday (this time in black). For some time now Ive been running the Touch as my main network music server using TinySBS and an attached hard drive. It hasnt been easy but Im determined to make it work as its supposed to as a standalone network music player ( this is NOT my mission statement).
Fortunately for me, I started out using a NAS connected to my PC running SBS and THEN tested the Touch using a USB stick and an SD card BEFORE trying a WD MyBook hdd, which, btw, didnt work. I eventually purchased a powered 320GB USB (Fat32) Hitachi 2.5 hdd that has been working fine ever since (fine = headaches, heartbreaks and plain and ordinary frustration). What's truly unfortunate is the TinySBS itself. Dont get me wrong, it work!! BUT, how so miserably. Its sooo unstable and sooo unpredictable, however, sooo clever too. I must agree with toby10, Logitech SHOULD dedicate more developer time looking into ways of stabilizing this gadget. Like he says, its a great product and a great idea just poorly implemented. I can handle using a PC music server running SBS as a last resort or for instance, a party, however, I really want this to work as a standalone. I dont write code and Im not a power user Im just a music lover, nothing fancy, just very serious about quality sound. The Touch has it if only it could stand up to its reputation and hype. -- carib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carib's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81784
