You're mixing bits and Bytes: 2880Mb = (2880/8)MB = 360MB. Bitrate is defined in bits per second, while bandwidth usage usually is counted in bytes, not bits. My calculation was a bit misleading, as my guessed 100MB would have been for a single stream. 360MB/5P = 72MB/Player. wellsi wrote: > I'm using Logitech Media Servier on a windows PC which has my > 'mysqueezebox.com' account info entered.

IMHO syncing 5 players using LMS should only pull the stream once from the cloud to LMS, and 5x from LMS to the players. See the footnote about "partial" syncing on mysb.com: "You can sync these, but the audio will most likely not be in perfect sync. The reason for this is because each player maintains its own connection to the streaming server, and may start at slightly different points in the stream." mysb.com can't sync perfectly well, because the players stream directly from the source. With LMS this limitation goes away as LMS is proxying the stream.
