There is no reason you can't have one squeeebox or transporter hooked to

No, there isn't, except that it's a very unelegant solution..
I would even say it is far from 'missing the point' of Squeezebox. E.g.
You can control it all from the remote if you're in the same room as the
Squeezebox, or control it from a laptop/PSP/Nokia/desktop PC while in
the rooms that don't have an actual squeezebox, which to me is one of
the best things about the system.
To me it's like adding a KVM switch to a computerterminal (thin client
would be a better example these days). Perfectly possible, but slightly
weird ;)
The only trouble is the music will be the same in all rooms, but some
people want that. A squeezebox and seperate amp in each room is a lot
more money if you just want multiple zones playing the same music.
And you can't control the volume in the different rooms seperately from
the remote or web interface. And you can't switch the 'zones' on and and
off seperately without fiddling with the amp. Steve is considering a
Transporter and wants "a full blown music network". Well, that 2000
bucks he will paying for the Transporter easily buys a bunch of
excellent Squeezeboxes with money left over for some very decent amps.
That's what I'd call a full blown music network, not a Transporter with
lots of wires. But that's me, of course ;)

Peter
