Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive?

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.

Haven't had a chance to try ethernet cable (very long run too). SBT Wireless Signal: 50-60% on avg. Did show 70%+ on occasion. Still having "Re-buffering" issues, morning, evening. Extremely annoying. This is why I returned the SB3 a few years back. I should have kept the iTransport/iPod. What I really want is to use my iMac/iTunes, but w/o crappy USB converters, or having to replace my superb DAC with a FireWire version, unsure if it will even sound as good. An iPad would be my ideal music server if it could stream from iMac since it doesn't have enough storage capacity. But anything that requires spending a lot more doesn't help my situation. It's frustrating that I have the perfect music GUI (iTunes) and can't use it.

Why are only some of my album artwork showing in SBT?
