Feature Request: Multi Room Party mode

Not sure how difficult this would be. Here is the scenario: A party that spans two rooms, living room upstairs and rec room downstairs.
I'd like to play the music on the local PC AND simultaneously on the jukebox player. That way the music is the same for both rooms.
I could see quite a few applications for this, hopefully it will be considered for future releases.

I do this with Apple Airplay now, iTunes on a mac mini and then airport express in each room, it's a little convoluted but it works.

I think you meant to say convoluted. I've decided to go the old-fashioned route. I ran speaker wire to the basement to another pair of speakers. The receiver can drive speakers 'A' and/or speakers 'B'.
Problem solved, for now.

I do this with a small FM transmitter. There are many available in kit or premade form. I built the FM-25 from a kit from ramseyelectronics.com

I would like to bump this request, Multi room listening would be amazing.
I want it so that people in other locations, miles or states away could listen to something at the same time, Rights could be given to users on weather they can pause or add to the playlist.

I'd also like to bump this request. I pledge to donate if/when it gets implemented.
