Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive?



Can I use a bus-powered USB drive (e.g. G-Drive Mobile) with a copy of my iTunes Library (Apple Lossless) to it connected to the Squeezebox Touch?

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.

Are you referring to additional AEBS devices? So it's not streaming wirelessly direct from the iMac/iTunes but the wireless signal from the AEBS? I'll try ethernet cable between SBT and AEBS. That's down two flights of stairs. If necessary, and I was prepared for this, I'll try a mobile bus-powered drive, and as last resort run ethernet cable from iMac to SBT.
It is hard to know exactly what is feeding the SBT unless you defeat one. At least, that's how I figured out my problems with a PC-based system. I have no idea what is involved with Apple stuff and I had to look up AEBS.
