From my limited experience with 5 units, I would say there's a practical limit because 1 bad device can mess up the whole chain, and in the absence of looking at the logs there's no easy way to know which one it is. Synced streaming from the library is pretty bullet proof, the only problem I

Good question. My hunch is that flac2mp3.pl does not delete MP3s that don't have a matching FLAC, and that's probably on purpose. For example, I have some MP3s that don't have a FLAC counterpart, and I'd be very unhappy if flac2mp3 deleted them. I expect that's a common situation. Did you only
