You will install SqueezeBoxServer (SbS) on one of the MACs. This is
your music database (you point SbS at your music library...doesn't
matter if something else is also using the same library tracks. That
is, the library could be used by itunes, foobar2000, winamp, etc. AND
ALSO can be identified as your SbS library).

download a version here and install on your Mac:

The Touch units will see this SbS on your local network and you can
connect to it. You can play different things at the same time on all
touch players or sync two or more to play the exact same thing.

p.s. re digital volume. Yes you can do this. I'm no expert on this, but
folks I respect report that you're really losing nothing as long as
volume is above, say, 70%.  This is because the Touch/SbS is using 24
bits for volume control do the bits you're losing are not bits that
matter to the music output. (yes, this is a simple explanation and
probably technically wrong, but this is the point anyways).
