First off a quick comment on Syncing Squeezeboxes, the issues have been solved for awhile now and the Sonos Troops are just going to have to give up on that one. I have had up to 8 Squeezeboxes in perfect Sync. Like I said, this is a non-issue anymore. Not sure if I understand it either as I am not a Sonos Fanboy, but one of the impressions I get is that the definition of a Sonos Zone means it can stand alone or includes an amp. I have so many definitions for Sonos "Zone" because to me it depends on how they are trying to "justify" that Sonos is superior in each case. And after all Squeezebox doesn't need "Zones" (but you can have them if you want to) which makes it more versatile to me. Notice how the Fanboys list number of Zones and not how many or what type players they have. Are they afraid to list the player types they have for fear that we will see just how much money they spent?! I could just as easily go into SC and name my players with Zone Numbers, but why? Its better to look at iPeng, SC, or the Controller and see "Transporter" or "Living Room" since I can call a Squeezebox Player or "Zone" whatever I care to. That way the better half isn't asking, "What is Zone 5 again?". Before the Flaming starts, I don't know and don't care if Sonos can name zones or not, just saying the Fanboys like there Zones. Guess it makes it easier to see at a glance just how many Sonos units they own as the "Zone" numbers go up. Lastly, I could have certainly afforded to buy 10 Sonos Zones but my choice was Squeezebox for several reasons. The Transporter for one. No track limitation in SC (I'm sure there is one, but I know its way above 16,000 CDs worth of tracks).
