Well I confess to being somewhat jaded by the whole synchronisation 
experience but I'd suggest you are not going to get it to work. I spent 
ages trying to get SoftSqueeze to sync with a hardware player and 
eventually gave up as it never stayed in sync for long. 

I then purchased another Squeezebox which sits in the same room as the 
PC thinking that would solve all the problems. Unfortunately That's an 
indifferent experience as well as far as synchronisation goes. The step 
back to the beginning of the track when synchronising a new player is 
WAD so there's nothing you can do about that. Once synchronised I find 
the two Squeezeboxes usually stay synchronised but occasionally drift 
off a little - they often correct on the next track. 

Even when they are synchronised the next problem you'll probably 
experience is that they no longer display the correct track details, 
i.e. they'll display the details for the previous or next track or, 
sometimes, the track that is playing won't appear in the playlist at all 
(this is all with Random Mix which is how I listen to music, it may be 
better playing selected tracks).

Finally, if you manage to get that sorted out I hope you didn't want to 
crossfade as that won't work on synchronised players.

If you look back over the forums you'll find similar experiences 
reported by lots of people but it doesn't seem to be a priority for 
Slimdevices to fix (to be fair they mey be feverishly working in the 
background to resolve the issue but I've no visibility of it and never 
seen a response on here that would suggest it).

IME the synchronisation is nothing as the advertising led me to believe 
and is a huge disappointment so it's a good job the rest of it is pretty 
good!
