As for "...the headache of running another system...", if one wants to use a network music player like the Touch then one has to "choose a headache":
1) running TinyLMS on the Touch, 2) running LMS on the current system (ie, computer) enough to serve your music needs, or 3) running a different system (Vortexbox, Squeezeplug, NAS, small computer, etc) to serve the music needs. Most users find (1) to be the biggest headache, but there are notable exceptions, so it may be fine for P Nelson's needs. For me (3) is the smallest headache, using similar hardware to the Vortexbox that I assembled myself for less than US$300 (and that was many years ago, you could do it cheaper now). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98291 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
