You could create a matrix of checkboxes like this. http://slim2lirc.myown.mailcan.com/syncmatrix.html To create a sync between player 1 and 3, just place a checkmark in column P1 and row P3. This is actually redundant, since every button is duplicated. You could leave out the top right half and put the labels underneath, ending up with a triangle of checkboxes. A bit like a break out box, really. Long player names will be a bit of a problem, though... Could be a quick way to sync/unsync things. Dragging an dropping is always a bit of a hassle IMHO.
