It doesn't matter which player is selected in a sync group: changing the current track list is shared across all the players. (Maybe this didn't always work this way.) I usually don't fiddle with the volume(s.) Normally (as for phone calls,) the pause button works well. If you change the music source from one SBS to another SBS, all the synced players are moved to the new source. I like this. Since my house is usually a "single-user-system" I keep all the players synced. Even so, their systems are powerful to the point where listening to several different songs at once would be really annoying.. At any rate, sync in itself wouldn't prompt me to pay double for Sonos. p -- pski real stereo doesn't wake neighbors (it enrages them) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75341 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
