Yes, you do have to be running Logitech Media Server (LMS) somewhere in your system. On a NAS, on a PC, etc. Not sure why you're having problems. I do know that some very underpowered NAS units struggle to run LMS. You might temporarily install LMS on a PC and see if that works any better and that may also help diagnose the issues with your current NAS setup. If you do decide to keep the SB setup, you will find that the iPengHD app or the SqueezePad app are head and shoulders above the logitech free app. mysqueezebox.com is "LMS in the cloud". One can connect to this without a local LMS if you don't want to play your own music (i.e., you use internet radio, pandora, MOG, spotify, etc.). But even with your local LMS, you would still create a mysqueezebox.com account and enter the credentials in your local LMS. This is so you can use some of the squeezebox apps, listen to things like Pandora, etc. If you don't care about any of these things and ONLY want to play your own music, you don't have to register with mysb.com and there is some way of swiping or something to go past the screen asking for this. In my opinion, setting up the free account on mysb.com is a good idea and gives you more features with the players. Your choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96161 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
