I purchased and setup a Squeezebox Touch this week. While I was awaiting delivery, I setup the server on an imac and indexed all the music on a 2TB HD.
The Touch came Wednesday, was a piece of cake to get it up and running, connected with coax digital to my Anthem AVR.
Using the ipeng app for ipad.
It had been working flawlessly so far, 90+% of the files are Flac. The ipad app is great for browing and control. I have about 50k songs.
Used XLD to transcode about 1k songs to MP3 and downloaded them on my iphone. Great being able to stream via bluetooth to the system in one of our cars, I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket.

Thanks for the feedback.  Though some of your post went over my head :oops:, I'm glad to hear you are happy with the SB Touch.

I got a SB Touch yesterday, and while initial setup went smoothly, I'm having a problem with Media Server that you can read about here;

Have you had any issues with Media Server scanning your music files?
