IMO it is fixed to the point that only total number of Sync'd Players reaching a maximum or running out of bandwidth using wireless or running FLAC without enough CPU memory are now the only limits. And these as I said just seem to be limits, not issues with Syncing as these are limits that would be reached whether the Players are Sync'd or all playing something different.

Re: [slim] Thread on Sonos board
my 2 cents...I don't own Sonos but my friend does...money wasn't an issue. The main issue that kept me away from purchasing a Sonos is the luck of features and especially the ability to create clever mixes (see MusicIP or Genius). Having said that, there have been times that I wanted to throw my SC system out of the window and I will admit that there have been many occasions when I was so close in going to Sonos...If they supported MusicIP or Genius or something similar I would be very tempted. You are right it's all about Music in the end, but sometimes the frustration can take the best out of me. -- panos_k75 panos_k75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18149 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65086 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Thread on Sonos board
That's pretty impressive Radish! You've answered my question of how syncing players will hold up over a long time period. Being impressed with the sync functionality in 7.3.3, I did an experiment using my setup. I had 2 SBRs, 1 SB3, and 3 Booms synced up streaming FLAC wirelessly to all players. That's 5 players going at the same time. I have smart fade enabled and was playing a mix. The fade transition was seamless. I ran this for about 15 minutes. The stream kept playing flawlessly as I removed each player from the sync group. Pretty darn cool! I can't wait to have a party :-). -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

socistep;436843 Wrote: impressive. On the Sonos forum I got flack related to SB kit not being proper zones, not really sure what the difference is but that highlights the potential 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).
