Thanks a lot for the help. If you don't mind me asking one more question, if I pause a song on a single squeezebox or squeezeslave will it pause all the music in all the zones?

Thank you very much. Is it reliable?

Sorry if this has been asked before but can you use a desktop computer as a media director while still in use. I want to know to setup house wide audio without buying a ton of squeeze boxes which I can't afford given the steep price.
