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?

I ended up returning it. Didn't have a chance to try USB drive. The constant rebuffering issue and unappealing GUI was a turn off.

The problem was most likely with the wireless/network, not the iMac. I did some rearrangement with the AE/AEBS devices which seemed to improve the signal strength/reach but not enough for the location of the audio system/SBT. I could see the readings on my iMac (Option Click Airport Icon) and there was definitely a drop/change with RSSI, Transmit Rate, MCS Index, although I have no idea what they mean, only that it's stronger in one area and not the other. Adding an AE close by didn't help either.

I haven't decided on a music server solution yet. My system is going through changes and I want to try USB converters again. I had ordered a Wadia 171iTransport but got tired of the delays/excuses. In the meantime I'm using my Marantz BD8002 as a CDT.
Did you ever call Logitech support when you were trying to debug all these issues? Whenever I had any trouble (just a couple of times) w/my SB3, their tech support guys were easily reachable (even on Sunday), and quickly resolved any issues. Cheers,

Logitech Support replied too late. I can always give it another try. I think I resolved, or at least improved the wireless issue, although I still need to try it with a USB bus-powered drive. I'm waiting until my system is completed before diving back into this.
