SqueezeCenter for Touch?

[superwebba]

Hello,
do I still need SqueezeCenter for SqueezeTouch?
Is it now possible to simply attach an external USB-Disk or SC card and listen to the music?

AS from specifications:
# USB host connector for accessing music and photos via USB drive or USB key
# SD card slot for music and photos

Yes, there is a "tiny SqueezeCenter" running on Touch, which allows to play music, or show photos directly from an attached usb drive/mem stick or sdcard.
You usb drive or sdcard will then show under "My music" if you have music on them.

Ok, great to know as I do not want to turn on my PC if I want to listen to music or buy anything else to do this.
All my music is already on a external USB Disc, so this is perfect, and it is enough to listen to Internet Radio

I'm sure the embedded SlimServer will be very attractive to many. Just to satisfy my curiosity do you know what file format your USB drive uses (i.e. Fat32, NTFS etc)?

Do you have some more details about that "tiny SqueezeCenter" ? Does it have it's own database(for the tags etc), or does it simply allow to walk through the folders on your disk?

Is that server reachable by other squeezbox clients? (from my classic?)

Thanks

yes: own DB, and yes: can stream to other players (but not SliMP3 and SB1)

Sounds interresting.

Can it completely replace the need for a PC/NAS running SC? I mean can I hook up a 250GB USB harddisk with music and use it just as I would on a PC-server running SC?

Or is it more aimed towards occational usb drive with a limited number of trakcs?

Is it also capable of reading from an SMB share on a NAS ?

So what functionality is not there in Squeezecenter on Touch?

I guess you are going to have to unlplug the USB drive to update it from a PC, but once it is on there can it serve everything outs o I can switch off my server.
