Squeezebox Players

[RC22]

If I buy a second squeezebox for another room can I stream the same music to both at the same time and will they be in sync?

[squeezeit]

Yes, if you use the LMS server program (on a computer or NAS or Touch's inbuilt server).  You can Sync while only connected to MySB.com but you will experience Sync drift after a while.

How do I set up a LMS or a SBS server

[squeezeit]

I assumed you already had a SB player.  If yes are you not using the SqueezeBox LMS server?  i.e. Logitech Media Server?

www.MySqueezeBox.com > My Media > download the appropriate version for your computer.

yes I am using the LMS, will that keep the in sync, I also downloaded the remote to my I pad will this also keep them in sync, I was reading another posting it is saying use a sbs, but that looks costly.

Yes, LMS is all you need. 

iPad remote just controls what is being played, menu navigation, etc.. nothing to do with Sync.

The only SBS I know of is the SqueezeBox Server (SBS), this was the predecessor to LMS server.

so LMS is the same as sbs, I thought they meant a small business server, lol showing my age.

[squeezeit]

You certainly do not need a business class server.  I'm guessing that is what that other info meant as far as SBS.

Yes, LMS replaced SBS, SBS replaced SlimServer (SS).  Just the progression/evolution of the server software going back to 2001.

All server versions have always been completely free.

Thanks for helping, one last question can I down load LMS to my ipad

[squeezeit]

No, iPad cannot run LMS, nor do you need it on the iPad.  If you want to use an iPad you just need the iPad Controller App to control the players via LMS.  The SqueezeBox apps for iPad, androids, phones, etc... just emulate the SB Controller and these are simply seen as another "player" by LMS.

BTW:  The SqueezeBox Duet Controller and Radio and Touch can all control each other (and any other SB player) whether the players are Sync'd or not, same as the iPad App.  The iPad App is a very handy interface though.
