Squeezebox Touch, iTunes, and Direct USB HDD

Posted by: OscillateWildly on 10 July 2010

Copy iTunes files from Mac to external USB HDD, then connect the drive directly to a SqueezeBox Touch (SBT):

My understanding is that track information is preserved, but not playlists. Is this correct?

The drive I've chosen to get with the SBT is a portable Toshiba Canvio. Any experience of this range in such a set up? FAT32 will be used.

Anyone using a low price linear power supply, e.g. circa GBP 20 from Maplin, with their SBT? Worthwhile?

I've read about problems re 24/96 FLAC, but it looks like the 7.5.1 firmware update sorted most of the issues.

Thank you for your help,
OW

Squeezebox Touch ordered; a couple of voucher codes gave a saving of just over GBP 60, plus there is 5% cashback through a well known site - a new Squeezebox coming out? The combination of codes ends tomorrow, 13 July, in case you are looking to buy.

I'll search the Web for the other information.

Cheers,
OW
