When you say "switching servers", are you talking about when I change
from listening to internet radio (via MySB.com?) to my personal music
collection (via LMS on my laptop?)?  If so, it seems I have no option to
use only one server all the time.

I don't have an extra computer I can dedicate to LMS and leave on all
the time.  I do hope in the future to set up a separate computer for
this purpose though.  However, if I find the iPad Mini works well for
most of my computer use I could temporarily locate my laptop out of the
way and run LMS/leave it on all the time (is this bad for the laptop?)?

Am I understanding you correctly that by leaving LMS running all the
time it would improve iPeng's ability to reliably see the Touch whether
in my prior listening session I was listening to internet radio via
MySB.com or my personal music collection via LMS?

Are you talking about switching servers using the Touch's touchscreen? 
If so, I can already do that with no issues.  The issue I'm running into
is when I launch iPeng on my iPad Mini sometimes it doesn't "see" the
Touch at all; there's simply no option to connect to the Touch via iPeng
when this happens.

If I've misunderstood your post, please clarify.

Not being very computer savvy, I find much of this confusing, but I'm
slowly learning with the great help from all of you. :)
