I too have zero issues perfectly synching multiple players running all day long (transporter, radio, boom, touch, with radio on WIFI). I will note however, that a couple of years ago I was trying to use an older winXP laptop (wired) for my LMS temporarily and had terrible luck with sync (logs showed things getting out of synch every few minutes). I never got to the bottom of it (and was back to using my vortexbox linux server soon anyhow). I tested my other newer Win7 laptop at the time and it was perfect with synch. So definitely the problem was related to LMS running on the particular old XP laptop. *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > Squeezelite *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S & iPad2 (iPeng7 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Streaming - Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
