Would be so nice if we could play music to multiple, bluetooth-connected Moves.

I’ve had my pair of Moves for six months now and love almost everything about them but this one pitfall. My Megabooms could do this, but are nowhere near the sound quality. Is there not a way Sonos could implement this? From what I understand, the Megaboom app does this by creating a temp WiFi network between the speakers. I would think this is possible with Moves since they’re already WiFi capable.

I know there are alternatives (Spotify Group Sessions, AmpMe, hotspot kluge). I’m not interested in those. They either suck, require multiple devices for individual connection or cost a bunch of moola (and are still a pain in the ass).

I should be able to go into the Sonos app (or a separate Sonos Move app) and play synchronized music to every Move that is bluetooth-connected to my device.

I would be more than happy to send this to our engineering team to take a look into. Just to set your expectation since you will not be contacted directly by our engineering team for updates on your feature request,  Our engineering team and Sonos management have not yet provided any details on the release or progress of this feature. I would suggest subscribing to this thread and our announcement topic to be up-to-date when it comes to new feature releases and product updates.

Hi  @Paul A,

Thanks for the quick response and link to the announcement topic.  I have subscribed and hope the engineering team agrees this is worthy of development for a future release.  Based on the research I’ve done, there are a lot of customers that would like this feature.  

On that topic, is there a platform where users can vote on feature requests?  I didn’t see one available but happy to post there if it exists.
