I'm totally cool with you taking time to get it right. But it was August of last year you announced Alexa integration. I've had an Echo for a while and honestly it is easier to tell it to play something, even if the sound is inferior to my play:5.

    Aye. Then we shall wait for Sonos to verify these claims.

    Though I'm not too shabby at static apnoe diving I wouldn't. ;)
    There are ways to identify me through my registered email address, which is also used to manage my own Sonos system.
    But frankly I believe Sonos support has other things to do.

    CasaTunes took the cheap and clunky route, using an Alexa skill. "Alexa, ask CasaTunes to...". That will get old very, very quickly. Sonos' deep integration is taking a good while, but will be far less clunky to use.

    I'm placing bets on an Aug 30th rollout, at least in public beta; one year post-announcement. Any takers?

    I'm thinking the release will be early November, for marketing reasons. A late summer release won't still any thunder from Apple's homepod release.
