Find of the Century

Bench Buddy just discovered that we can listen to Indie Pop Rocks without ITunes on SomaFM!!!

Consequently we have been trying to get our computers to play in stereo for the last ten minutes, but no matter what we do my computer is milliseconds ahead of his. Why? Don't know. You'd think they would be in sync. We've been playing "One, two, three... NOW." Then it was "One, two, three.... NOW" and then me starting mine an arbitrary amount of milliseconds later, but no matter what, mine is still ahead. Curses.

This would not happen if we were allowed to have ITunes.

i don't think you can get the buffer exactly synched between two different machines because your local machine is involved in processing (buffering) the audio. in this sense, it is prone to asychronization much like two different CD players playing the same CD. This is unlike two different radios playing the same station where the actual unit is minimally involved in the processing of the audio data. but i am only guessing here...
