My 2c re JJ's very good suggestions, if I may elaborate  further .

Player settings done by the web-UI is usually retained by the
server.prefs file and in a multiplayer setup having the server as a hub
for settings makes sense. logitech should then make it easier to save
and restore * all * settings including mysb.com.
Such as the result of reinstalling the server from scratch should have
you restoring *one* single settings backup and all including services
last.fm et all should be as before, running around to set everything on
each player is nonsense IMO ?

Problem re volume is that the sync is absolute, every player gets synced
to same number for example 72 this is nonsense in almost all situations
you can think off .
What needed is how iPeng does it, a master volume slider that adjusts
the volume relatively , it is very likely that volume 43 is ok in my
bedroom boom and 65 is what I have on my kitchen Touch , so if I want
slightly louder relative volume changes is the way to go. Otherwise
there will always be a to quit location and one to loud , thus the
current approach can only be used if your different stereos and booms
and radios just so happens to produce a similar acoustic output at the
same volume setting, this is very unlikely.
