Just saw this after my last post. Maybe you're right and many people aren't using the syncing feature, but I haven't seen the statistics. I believe in the future that more people will use syncing for music around the home, but I'm not an oracle. From the outside I would say Sonos are in a similar market, and squeezebox could have just simply looked at Sonos usability and asked why do they do that and do it if it fits their goals and don't if it doesn't. As it stands I don't know whether this was already thought of by squeeze box guys and dimissed or whether they simply missed it and don't care, or whether they missed it and wished they didn't. But if you're right and not many people using it now and I'm wrong and not many people will use it then they will not have much incentive to change it. I'm hoping you're wrong and I'm right, and that that becomes apparent (although 7 votes is bit rubbish so even if you're wrong and I'm right we may never know) because I have an incentive for them to implement it so I can use my squeezebox radio properly.
