I am sometimes getting the message: 'local music service has been
stopped due to a problem' on my (brand new!) SB Touch.

I keep my music collection on about 60 GB of a 320GB 2,5" bus-powered
harddisk. As far as i know, this drive has no 'sleep' or 'power
saving'-functions.

The music collection contains probably quite a few (too) large image
files.  Few other files besides music files and album art are on the
disk. Ca. 30% of the songs are FLAC, 70% are MP3 (of 256-320kbps).
About 10.000 in total, I think. Scanning the disk / creating the
library of songs has not resulted in problems.

What would be the most likely cause for this error:
The USB drive having no external power?
Album art is too complex causing memory shortage on the server?
Some other cause?

I suspect that the lack of external power to the USB drive is a likely
cause, but I'm not planning to buy a new one if this error is normally
not associated with USB power shortage. (Regardless the cause, I should
tidy up the album art / tags in the collection, but that will take some
time...)
