Sorry if you think this is overkill and I guess I am out of sync with the majority but here are my reasons for having so many players: 1- I believe that the correct way to distribute music is using synchronized local networked sources rather than a single source feeding a mult-zone amp. This has the advantage of full local control at each location, full meta-data at each location, and full flexibility to play synchronized, or not, at any location without preset limits to the number of "sources" or "zones". Despite the number, I do not use Squeezeboxes in every nook and corner of the house (None in bedrooms except mine, 6 basement rooms share a single player, 3 3rd floor rooms share a single player, etc.) 2- The display. The display is what makes it useful to have players in both the Library and the Dining Room even though they are right next to each other. The display is what makes Squeezeboxes useful even when music is not playing (weather, stocks, home automation alerts). The display is what provides the "wow" factor with guests. The display is what makes the players easy to configure (just try setting up a static IP on an SBR and you will wish you had gotten an SB3 instead!) The display is why I have 16 zones of Squeezebox Players rather than 16 zones of Sonos. -- upstatemike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53228 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
