Is the Squeezebox Touch complicated?

Love my SBT, and have yet to have a dropout. I paired it with a VortexBox Appliance (~$400), all connected to my home wifi network. I love the sound through my K-Works SuperBerry DAC. Every bit as good as playback from a CDP.

I am ripping many homemade CD-Rs of vinyl and other things that don't get any metadata. Using MP3tag, I edit all the tags by hand. A real PITA, but I need only do it once, and as Mapman said, GET BACKUP! I already had to restore from my backup when a Vortexbox upgrade went wrong and I had to do a clean install. Restoring from the backup worked like a charm! Besides, my CD-Rs of vinyl sound way better than Red Book CDs of the same recordings.

IME, having a server designed for use with the SBT makes life much simpler. My Vortexbox appliance is a dedicated computer running Linux that was designed with several wifi music players in mind, including the SBT. The combo is a home run, and much easier to set up and keep running than a NAS-based system, IMO. That is especially true if you are not tech savvy, and I am certainly not tech savvy.

Mlsstl - Who spent "big bucks"? The SBT and the Vortexbox 1TB model, plus a back up drive, all came in at well under $800, delivered. Off-the-charts bang for the buck, IMHO. Soon, I will upgrade the digital cable from the SBT to my DAC. It only gets better!
