This is very interesting because, as I understand it, Sonos can sync
Rhapsody in all of up to 32 zones concurrently...with one Rhapsody
subscription. Do SBs have a different licensing agreement? Or is it
just the way you sync? 

Assuming you're using a different Rhapsody stream for each Duet zone,
does that mean it would use 3 times the bandwidth on my internet pipe
to play the same song in 3 rooms?

So you can't sync internet radio effectively like Sonos does? Are you
actually reading these streams multiple times when you could just share
the one feed?

Incidentally, how easy is it to link the rooms on the new Duet
controller? Is it like just one button?
