Yes, in fact this is the exact architecture the devices were desinged for. > If this IS possible, can each separate box access different > music at > the same time, or will each box only cope with one feed. You can have each device operate independently so that they are all playing different music at the same or you can syncronize them if you wish to control all of them with one box and have them play the same thing. It's your choice. The one thing I'm not sure of (I don't syncronize mine) is if you can only syncronize some of them. For example, I'm not sure that if you had say five Squeezeboxes and you wanted to syncronize three of them but have the other two play independently that you could accomplish that. I'm sure someone else on this list can easily answer that though. > If all of this is possible anyone know what the limit for > boxes is?

If your server and bandwidth can handle the workload then you could have 100 or more devices. I'm not sure of the hardware spec's it would take to do this. The Slim Devices FAQ only states that "even a low-end PC can service more than a dozen Squeezeboxes" so maybe a nice high-end PC could easily service over 100. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
