Submission + - Music Player Synchronization

Submitted by orn on Wednesday February 14, 2007 @08:58PM

orn writes: Lots of people have mp3 players in the living room now. Some people have players in the kitchen, bedroom, garage and so on. They are great when it comes to getting to your music from multiple places, but when you walk from room to room, it's almost impossible to get the music aligned. Are there software packages or techniques for synchronizing multiple networked music players? One thought is to use streaming software to stream to all players — but is there any streamer that will let you account for the different delays in different hardware to create a single synchroized whole?

China and Russia are the two countries that are frequently cited as the world's "piracy powerhouse" over the rampant pirating of movies and music that occur in their countries, with Hollywood recently even going so far as to place Canada at number 3 on its "Most Wanted List" with its alleged camcording "leniency." But, is this really the case? The report finds that Mexico is responsible for almost TWICE the amount of lost revenue from movie piracy that China is ($484 million USD versus $244 million USD), and yet barely a word of this is mentioned in the media or even uttered from the lips of the WTO or any of the intellectual property enforcement organizations."
