Interesting that no-one has mentioned Inguz in this thread.
I've had a 2 and 1 for ages but never synced them because all my music
is flac. I recently tried syncing the 2 with softsqueeze which was very
unhappy with Inguz. After a lot of messing I found that all players
needed to have the same

I now have three SB3s all on the ground floor and in adjacent (pretty
much) rooms. FWIW I seldom synch the set up, mostly due to my
listening habits. Plus I don't really like leaving stereos etc
switched on if nobody is in the room.

Thanks to all with the good input on syncing - I appreciate hearing
about your success with this functionality.

Don't be put off on my account! I'm encouraged by the many reports of
people for whom sync works
I have 2 SB3s (Slim Devices in silver and black even) and got the first
one to free my digital music collection from the PC. Excellent move!
But it's hooked up to my HT setup, and often times my wife or daughter
are watching tv and I really don't want to watch what they're watching,
so I find
I also don't have a usage model where I use sync regularly. I used to
have a setup with a Transporter in the living room and an SB2 in the
bedroom. I felt no need to sync these although I might have for
testing purposes.
When I was testing out the SBR I had it connected to the living room
I'm getting pretty concerned about my plans for a SB3-based whole house
setup after reading this thread. I thought that synching between SB's
was reliable and worked well. I'm planning on using a SB3 and then 2
additional SBR's to allow syned music play in several areas of my
house.

I have a Transporter in the family room, and 6 Squeezeboxes (4 Classics,
2 Receivers), all wireless, on a pretty well optimized network. Yeah, I

My wife syncs 3-4 of these virtually every day, listening to local
I use sync almost every day and overall it's very robust, never a worry.
But I do listen to a fair amount of gapless music. For me the short
resync gap at the beginning of every (gapless) track is the biggest
weakness of the whole Logitec/SlimDevices system. I find I actually
steer away from
Increasingly I have the living room Transporter and the kitchen SB3

bit and because the lounge set up provides a big loud sound for the

ensconsed in one room
It seems to me that there have been a number of threads both in these
fora and on the wider internet about the use of synchronisation with
music services like Rhapsody/Pandora/Slacker and Internet Radio as well
as local music files.
I am intrigued about how important sync is to people out there,
The only time I use sync is when I'm doing stuff around the house and am
moving between a few rooms, I'll set all the 2nd floor players (for
example) to be synced so I get the same music everywhere. The big
problem with sync for me is that it's not gapless, which kills 90% of
the music I listen

Nah, you'd want different music in the bedroom - Barry White, for example ;)
Personally, I've found that Bill Wither's Greatest Hits never fails :)

There's only me in my house so I can only ever listen to one source at a
time. Therefore I sync both players (SB3 and SBR) so I have the same
music everywhere (and will probably get 2 more receivers when they ship
separately) and swith amps/squeezeboxes on/off as necessary.
Gapless isn't a major
I have 5 SBs and rarely sync them except for parties. Even then, it's
mostly a stunt.

I have 5 SBs (3xSB2,1xSB2 1 SBR) and for me sync is important although
only mainly for 2 of these the Kitchen (SB2) and Living room (SB3).
Additionally though two more also downstairs in my wife's office (SB2)
and my cubby hole (SBR) are, by default, synced to the other two when
on.

4 units (SB1, SB2, SB3 and SBR). Have never synced them in anger -
indeed their main purpose is to pipe different music to different parts
of the house (even [especially!] at parties).
Did sync once on upgrading to 7.0 to check that it worked, and it
doesthough the cat didn't like it much
2 SB3s, one attached to the 2-channel system the living room and one in
the den with the HT system. I sync them fairly often when I'm doing
things around the house and going from room to room.

I used to try to sync my SB3 downstairs with SoftSqueeze running on the

wouldn't keep in sync; this made the trip up or downstairs momentarily
painful. But
