I've listened to my Touch with great and increasing satisfaction since mid-April without significant difficulty. About a week ago, the music suddenly went silent. The Touch screen looked normal (like it was playing), but the playing time indicator was not advancing.
At the computer (details below), Squeezebox server was running and all looked normal. With nothing else to try, I tried restarting the computer; very early in the reboot the computer froze and it stayed frozen until I forced shutdown by holding the power switch down. This scenario has now repeated many times. The Touch will play for 30 min to 3-4 hours (1-2 hours is typical), then the music will stop. The Touch display looks normal but the playing time does not advance. The computer seems normal (does not appear to be hung or slow) but always hangs on restart. On power cycling the computer, Squeezebox server starts and then I can go to the Touch press the "Play" arrow, and the music always starts more or less where it left off. It will then play for an hour or three and freeze again. The computer never hangs on restart unless the Touch has induced a lockup. The only other potentially strange behavior is that the Touch seems to re-buffer more often since the lockup issue began. In the past, the Touch might re-buffer once on the first song, now it might re-buffer 2-3 times and the latency time is much longer. I can think of no recent changes (no fiddling with connections, Touch menu options, Squeezebox server options, etc.); I've been busy at work so I've been listening to music while I work, not messing with my audio rig. the system configuration has been unchanged since I added the Touch. Details: Computer = iMac 700 MHz G4 (flat screen, hemispherical CPU), 750 Mb RAM OSX 10.4.11 Squeezebox server V 7.5.1 r30836, Perl Version 5.8.6 MySQL v 5.0.22-standard CDs ripped via iTunes (all AIFF) iMac --> Ethernet --> switch-->Touch ...............................switch-->BD player for Netflix streaming Any thoughts?
