I have been able to accomplish this, though, with some open source software under Linux. Last year I bought a SqueezeBox from the folks at http://slimdevices.com and it's a thing of wonder - I no longer need a laptop in my living room connected to my stereo to access my music server! There's a slimserver component that runs on my server, and there is a Java client that emulates a SqueezeBox at http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/ You can run all of this without actually having a SqueezeBox, and by running Softsqueeze on different computers on your network, you can have synchronized music throughout the house. It's unrealistic to expect synchronization in the clients you list; it's got to be built into the player, it really can't be bolted on.
