I agree with all of this. My setup includes one touch, one boom, one
radio, two duets and two SB3s ('classic'), all controlled via iPhone
using the wonderful iPeng.
The best advice I can give you is to use Squeezebox over Sonos, BUT, to
set your router to give each its own static IP address (NOT your IP
address with your ISP, just a static IP address to each squeezebox on
your local network). That means your squeezebox equipment is always 'at
the same location' to the other SB equipment and to the router. It makes
a REAL difference to system reliability - more than anything else, so
long as your internet connection is decently fast.
Cheers
