Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive?

The SB Touch arrived Monday. Haven't tried it yet. Soon. I'll try wireless first and see how that does. Regardless of drop-out issues or not, then I'll try the USB bus-powered mobile drive. And if all fails, ethernet cable.

Other solution: NAS drive connected to Airport Extreme. Would that work? I prefer not to have my iMac on to play music. Is it as simple as copying over the iTunes library and installing the Squeezebox Server?

Sakahara, please keep us posted, as I am very interested in your findings as well.

So far so good with wireless.... A little confusing with set up (mainly because there are three separate things; the SB Touch, Server SW, and mysqueezebox.com). Unfamiliar with this SBT,..etc so it just took more time to figure out.

First sign of trouble already....

Wireless playback was interrupted multiple times when the SBT kept rebufferring a song. This is what I worried about happening. Im at a loss as to why this continues to occur with Sqeezebox in my system. Is this a wireless signal strength issue? Signal shows 100%. Plus, the iMac is 10' away in the same room. Unless it's retrieving the music through the Airport Extreme placed elsewhere in the house. I would assume it'd stream direct from the iMac.

Additional transmitter/receivers can complicate the matter. To determine if it is a wireless problem, run an ethernet cable from the SBT to the router and see if that has any interruptions.

In my case, I had to deactivate the WiFi in my PC because it interfered with the signals from my router.
