syncronizing networked computers
« on: November 14, 2006, 08:31:09 am »


Has anyone come up with a way to have multiple computers on a network playing the same "Playing Now" at the same time so that if you move from one room to another in your house each computer is playing the same thing?

No, unfortunately.  With separate zones all running from the same computer you can get very close (though even then the zones aren't perfectly synchronized, so if you can "hear" the other room it wouldn't work).  Over the network with separate computers? Not at all.
