So if I have a reeiver that has the options for multi zones would i have to play music from the receiver and go into the other room (office or patio)to listen w/out a remote or version of control? I plug my ipod/iphone into the usb port so i assume I would have to start it andwalk away which doesn't seem too beneficial since i like to change songs frequently. Am I missing something?

    I don't have an iPod or iPhone, but can't you put it on some sort of random play mode?

    I stand corrected by Freddy so I'll delete most of my reply:redface::biggrin:

    Depends on your receiver, if you can use IT to fully control your iPod or not but you can look into remote+extenders which allow you to control any component from a completely different room in the house or even outside depending the way you've got it wired.

    yeah I can do a random play mode but find myself wanting certain songs at certain times, so i guess i want that extra control.
