I bought the touch for the same reason: I did not want a PC 24/24 working just to listen music. Touch was the first model with USB capability.
I have 1Tb WD My book self powered with about 1000 cds (great mix of flac, mp3, aac,...). I also left my documents and photos on the drive. That point is mayble not a good idea, so my next step is to clean it and to try only with music files on the drive. However, at this time, this device is UNUSABLE, so slow to come in the list of my cds and so unstable... I rather listen to deezer at this time as I am upset to wait for the list of CDs for 2 minutes or more (when working...). My next step is to clean the drive and cross the fingers! Otherwise, what is the alternative? -> purchase a NAS, but would require a rather powerfull model, starting at 150 EUR (case only), that purchase was really not expected!!! -> make a server on a recycled "thin client", but I am not so good in IT, and may take so much time for me. But would be a cheaper solution(+- 50 EUR) -> sheevaplug: 120 EUR -> cheap NAS: some low cost buffalo, but slimserver is not officially supported. Seems to work according to some forums, but quite unsure... .... I agree with all of you, buyin the touch for that price, I was not expecting that! I also could read on a french forum someone using a SD card in the touch for the swap file. It seem a good idea to me, as it can make the process faster. Anyone has experience with this? Also, version 7.6 of the server is available in Beta version. This seems to be a version requiring less power to the machine, maybe will this solve the issue -> when is this going to be available? -- studkiram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ studkiram's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82176 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
