Regarding Internet Radio: 

It's my understanding that drift between synchronized SBs is inherent
given the devices' buffers. This is the case regardless how you connect
(via SlimServer or SqueezeNetwork) to Internet radio stations. SBs sync
at the beginning of a track but since Internet radio stations are
broadcasting as continuous streams, SBs are not re-cued when songs
change.  Over time you begin to notice the drift.  It seems like there
is about a .5sec difference between my SBs after 3-4 hours of listening
to one Internet radio station (continuous stream). However, it becomes
annoying about an hour before that.  If you hit “skip,” or change the
station the SBs will re-cue again, but I don’t consider this  a
satisfactory solution. 

I have voted for a bug fix which I believe addresses this issue. It’s
the “fine-grained network clock" bug.

This bug has been open since 2004 and I’m starting to wonder if Slim
Devices has any idea how to fix this...

Perhaps someone for Slim Devices could provide me/us with an update?
