I don't want to have a computer running every time I use the Touch. One of the primary reasons for buying the Touch, was that it can play audio files WITHOUT having a PC switched on, which I love. I would love it even more if I could connect my sizeable library to it without it malfunctioning. As it happens, my workaround of splitting my library between separate drives into smaller collections has made the Touch much more stable, as less tracks are indexed into its memory. But it is only a workaround, not a solution. Please see my original suggestions, and maybe someone could advise me if this is feasible. -- Dave1972 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave1972's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85984 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
