Yes. > -- If I did that, and if both Touches were turned on at the same time, > would they only be able to play the same track (that's my guess), or > would it be possible to have them each access the library separately and > play different tracks simultaneously (for that to be possible, wouldn't > the second Touch have to run a second copy of LMS that has scanned the > library drive: either its internal "TinyLMS" or an instance of LMS on > another micro-PC)? Yes. You can 'synchronize' the two players and they will play the same music. Playing the song on either one will play the music on both. > -- Even if playing separate simultaneous tracks is not possible, > shouldn't two Touches on the same WiFi network be able to play separate > Internet streams at the same time (via mysb.com)--or could one Touch > play Internet streams while the other is playing hard-drive tracks? Yes. When the players are not synched, they can play independently. They can play different tracks served by LMS, or internet streams, or any combination. LMS has no problem serving music to several different players simultaneously. > -- Just for my understanding: must two Touches on the same network be > set up in a master and slave relationship, or can they operate as > completely independent devices? Are there any benefits and drawbacks to > each of those configurations? Either way. There's no pro/con one way or the other. It's just two different ways of using the system. I recommend not using the built-in server of the Touch. Running LMS on a PC on your network works infinitely better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98061 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
