touch generally works well with WIFI. But, as you've discovered, typically things are best if there is only one WIFI hop. Many have their music server wired and use the TOUCH with WIFI. Perhaps you should buy an rPi4B, install piCorePlayer, connect a USB portable drive with your music to the rPi, and now you have a complete LMS music server the size of a paperback book (rPi and USB drive combined!). And this can be connected out of the way directly to your router with ethernet. And total cost probably less than $100. Or as you mentioned, just use either Spotify, Tidal, etc. to stream music. Then only one wifi hop (router to touch). *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.5) -or- rPi4B/pCP6.0/4TB>LMS 7.9.3>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4) -or- rPi4B/pCP6.0/4TB>LMS 7.9.1>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet, Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>LMS 7.9.3>Squeezelite *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir2 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* ripping: dbpa > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112488 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
