I can play files from a USB flashdrive but I cannot get anything to play using the USB connection from my external SSD. Should I be able to do this if I adjust the settings on the Squeezebox?

That would be a NO.  I think it has something to do with power for the SSD?  Can you power the SSD with a alternate source, I do not know. Another question would be of powered down do you need to scan and build the database each time?  For all its early glory technology has moved leaps since.  I still use my Squeezebox for system B and C.

Been a long while since I had my Squeezebox Touch.  Many devices can only handle limited power draw on the USB port and also many may have a limit on the size of the drive (e.g. something like an Oppo 93, 95 or 103 or 105 could only handle 2TB from memory.  A powered drive may work on some things since the port's power handling limiations won't be in play.

Thanks for the link; it looks promising. My SSD external drives are powered. I will work on the solutions suggested. Thanks

Both USB and SD ports are limited to 32 Gigs.  Although I have used a 32 gig usb flash drive, it actually wants the usb drive to be self powered.
