    LOL - it's nice being a noob because you see the other side

    I had rather a nice vinyl setup once Martin. I can't say I miss it.
    I reckon you should get sorted pretty quick.
    The touch is a great bit of kit but if you find you like file based audio, I dare say it wont be long before you've built a really good quality server. You should have the building skills and I really can't see a bit of scripting and a few code changes being beyond your knowledge.
    Like all this stuff,it depends on how much effort one is prepared to put into it.
    Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

    I see your numbered naming convention for players allows for more devices, Martin . One Squeezebox is never enough . . .

    I now have a Spotify Premium account and am streaming hi-bitrate to the Touch (it did crash and reboot after I upgraded to Premium and changed the settings, but has now settled down).

    It's amazing sitting down in front of the 'big rig' with the iPad on my lap and being able to call up almost anything on Spotify, like having John Peel's library in my hands. This will help me target my buying even more accurately and only order CDs I know I like.
