Let's let Sonos know we would like this feature added. We've all spent years cultivating music we own, and we'd like to listen to it using the new voice control feature that Alexa has added. Thanks!

      I don't think you hardly need petition Sonos for this

        Surely the best solution would be to use the existing Plex integration to achieve this, I know not everyone would want to use Plex as a server for their local music files, but as Alexa/Sonos voice control must require suitable metadata/tags etc for it to work, then using the Plex music service which is already available within the Sonos app would make sense.

          Yes please, this would be great. I would prefer to leverage on my own music collection, built over time and stored on my "always on" NAS. 🙂

            Surprised this isn't there already. Exactly what you state is true, hundreds of albums on a big honkin' hard drive, and no access? Surprising.

            Petition is a bit of a strong word!. I might be interested in a Sonos One to add to my system if home NAS and Deezer were supported at some point though.

            I can’t believe that this option isn’t available! I’ve just purchased an Echo Dot as well! Really disappointed.

            This should be there or it isn’t SONOS.
