I have also posted here due to synchronisation problems with
SqueezeCenter 7.0 and have not resolved them, so I would like to
establish if there are any similarities. 

Will the SB3 players synchronise when Softsqueeze isn't running or is
powered off?  I haven't actually tried Softsqueeze since upgrading to
SC7.0, although like yourself, I found that synchronisation between
players (up to 3 x SB3) and/or players and Softsqueeze was very good in
previous versions of Slimserver (certainly 6.3.1 onwards).

What operating system are you running?  I have 2 PCs, one running
Ubuntu and the other XP.

On the Ubuntu machine, the players will sync with no issues if and only
if SqueezeCenter has very recently been restarted.  If it has been
running for anything approaching a day then the players will not sync
and I find the same 2 players will be about 1 second out of sync whilst
the other is always in excess of 3 seconds.

On the XP machine I simply cannot get the players to synchronise at
all; restarting SqueezeCenter or rebooting the PC makes no difference
and I get similar delays between players as those described above.

As you've probably found, most of the questions regarding
synchronisation have related to Softsqueeze and there has been very
little in the way problems syncing hardware players using SC7.0.  One
post did however suggest the problem was either overcome or much
improved when the lastfm plugin was disabled, so that might be worth
trying.
