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. > Do you have a computer you could dedicate to running LMS all the time? > Barring that, could you use TinyLMS? 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?)? > If your Touch were always connected to a server then you would no longer > have to deal with the flakiness you're seeing.

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? toby10 wrote: > If you want to switch between servers simply move "switch to MySB.com" > to your home menu. > Touch > Settings > Advanced > Networking > switch to MySB.com, press & > hold, select "add to Home menu" > > Now to switch servers simply select My Music to connect to LMS or select > switch to MySB.com to select MySB.com. 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. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturn94's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
