Ok was it really in the desig scope from day one ? Maybe they should have dropped it ? Its such letdown for LMS . Touch is great player ( i have 3 i love them ), but releasing the server on Touch then people expect it to work just as good as any LMS server . And apparently some folks still expect it to perform . If it where not there it would not have wasted everyones time . Its impressive as its almost 10 years old . With todays SoC would probably cost less and just works. Every squeezebox seems to be ahead of its time . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
