thanks for the confirm on power, and the crash warning. Yea, I realize it's not ideal, but if you go back to my first post, its for a friend who has simple expectations, and has a difficult time grasping what is going on behind the scenes (i.e. "why do I need my laptop on?" - to run LMS). I had thought of building hime a picore with a usb HDD as a server (what I an using), but I feared him having to do anything through the ip address configuration screens, and why not save a couple $. It seems with tinysc/touch, anything I have to talk him through over the phone will be exclusively on the touch. If it does crash, even if he trashes the sd/usb, he can listen to mysb.com until we get things fixed. I'll have him keep a backup image of the usb on his pc. He has been enjoying SB exclusively with mysb.com, and now we want to add his music library, so we'll see how it goes. I do appreciate the note that you can access the sd/usb with other players, but this will be one player only. One thing I was looking for, haven't found via search yet, I saw a reference to samba transfer of files to the sd/usb on the touch, but I haven't yet found how to initiate it on the touch side of things. It would be nice if he could add new music via samba rather than unplug/plug.
