Much thanks in advance!
It's NOT that simple. First, you are confusing picore player and squeezeplug - these are two completely different ways to use the Pi. They cannot be combined. Picore is a squeezebox PLAYER. Squeezeplug is an installation suite based on Debian which allows you to install LMS and/or players on the Pi. I have no idea whether it's possible to set-up a direct link between the Touch and the Pi - I doubt it would be a trivial procedure.
