Touch simply does not like some USB's and SD's. I have several of both, work on every single device I've ever plugged them into, but Touch won't recognize them. Most reliable way for me to use Touch's internal server is with a very old 64mb SD card from way back in my Palm Tungsten days.
Sounds like you have tried most of the basics, but here goes anyway.... Touch and USB / SD Troubleshooting USB or SD card devices - Check the formatting of the device, Touch supported formats: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 - Touch can only see/use a single partition, format as a single partition, or use only the first partition for all relevant music files - Remove any included device utilities as these can cause issues - Make sure there is at least 10% free space (20% even better) - Remove any non-music related files (videos, documents, programs, pictures, data, etc ) - Or, if removing such files is not an option, place a . (dot) in front of folders that are not music related (folders not containing music files, album art, playlists). A simple (dot) in front of a folder means that TinySBS will ignore these and (hopefully) greatly speed up scan times. - Attach device directly to your computer and run basic maintenance utilities (disk cleanup, error checking, defrag) - Place a small, single folder of music on the device for initial testing (why have it scanning for hours if it isnt going to complete the scan) USB HD - Try an external USB power source, HD power supply or a powered USB hub. (Touch may not have enough bus power to power the USB HD) - Try a different USB cable - HD Sleep mode can cause issues (may have to completely rescan HD every time it wakes) - If you turn OFF Touch or HD, or unplug HD, Touch must completely rescan the entire HD Very useful tutorial & configuration ideas to get the most out of the very limited Touch inbuilt server: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070 -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91261
