Hi guys, 1st post so be nice! I have been planning to buy a few squeezeboxes to use around the house. We have a Media Center in the living room which has our entire music collection stored in WMA Lossless and a gaming rig in the study which also has most of our music stored in WMA 192kb/s. So anyway, in preperation for my squeezebox shopping spree, I thought I would download and install slimserver on the study computer just so I could get a feel for how it works. It was at this point that I learned all about softsqueeze, so I installed it on the study computer, the media center in the living room and my laptop (on a wireless connection) in the bedroom. After a bit of messing around I found the sync options in the slimserver software and so set them all up to play in sync with each other. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work very well for me. I rarely get to the end of the first song before it decides to start again from the beginning (I presume because of a loss of synchronisation). I'm now wondering whether buying the squeezeboxes is such a good idea. So guys, do the hard versions of the squeezebox work any better than this? Do they cope well with playing in sync? Can they be configured to do so from the unit's themselves or do you have to keep accessing the slimserver software to enable/disable this feature? I envisage having a mixed setup of squeezeboxes in some rooms and softsqueeze running in the two rooms where there is already a computer. So far though, my experiences with just the slimserver+3 softsqueeze installations has not filled me with confidence. Obviously, if I'm doing something wrong, feel free to jump in with any tips to get it all working correctly. Thanks.
