Hi Matt, Easy is as Easy does, welcome to the forum. First, what usb dacs do you use? Second, better I think to use the same OS for everything, In this case I think (IMO) Max2play might suite you better (especially if you take out a licence). Thirdly, although I hardly ever use the sync feature I believe that it operates in "the lowest common denominator" sense which might not fit one or two of your players. Ronnie The failure to start may just be a timing error, one would want the LMS to be up and running before the Squeezelite players start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106590 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
