Re: dedicated cd players versus jukebox software: which is best?



Via the web interface on the server or the Settings menu on the players....

Default is independant, but on Player A you can select to Sync with Player
B
etc..

I have two, for normal use they are independant but for parties I sync
them..... Also use SoftSqueeze (Java App) on my PC (or a couple of PCs) as
additional players - These too can by synchronised.

Download the server software and softsqueeze and have a play.
