I love my Sonos, I love my Surface, Please make my dreams come true.

I run a Windows household and am looking to build a wireless speaker solution. This would seal the deal for me!

I'm a new sonos user with a nokia 820 and 610 would love a official sonos app as i have a long wait to upgrade my phones.
U
Add me to the list of sonos fans interested in Windows 8 RT and Windows Phone 8 control app so I can dump my Phones app.

+1 please bring out a sonos app for my Windows Surface and my Windows Phone 8! I have a house full of Sonos and it's completely ghetto to have to use my laptop, or my wife's iPhone to control it (at least with Phonos I can use my phone atm, but you guys should support these platforms properly).
U
Need Surface RT App ASAP
U
Really into Surface now. iPad is now the worlds biggest Sonos controller. Please can you hurry this along. Native Win 8 app is badly needed now along with Win Phone 8. Sonos, please don't lose your edge and don't stop me loving your products

I want to buy more Sonia kit but holding off for windows 8 RT/phone etc support to improve! Come on Sonos, don't lose your edge!

+1 on a Windows RT version. WP8 would be great as well.

would it be so hard to just compile an ARM version of the Windows controller as a stopgap for Surface users? That would at least give some headroom for a Modern app to get built and published to the Windows Store.
SONOS doesn't do stopgap. They'd prefer large customer groups to suffer without any functionality whatsoever.

I just know the Sonos app will be that good that it will drive both Sonia and Surface sales. Go Sonos go!
U
Come on Sonos. Let's have a Win 8 RT app!

I need this app too. I used to have a Windows phone, and used the Phonos app. But it's not very good, so I moved to Android, just to get a better controller. Turns out I had Android, and I am getting an HTC 8X Windows phone the day it comes out. And I will need a controller for my Sonos system on it!

I've never see the iOS app (not an Apple fan), but their Windows and Android implementations are superb. It takes time to write software of that quality. Like all the posters on this topic I anxiously await an RT app to run on my new Surface. Based on the envious looks from friends and colleagues I suspect it is the next big thing.
U
need this App ASAP please tell Patrick to approve it super soon

So there are 37 folks (at time of this post) who like this idea, 20+ posts, and it's 'Under Consideration'. What's the tipping point for getting this going?

I'll resale my iPad to get a Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT. It is time for you guys to start developping a Windows RT application for Sonos because the Surface wave is coming.

Please please please build/release a Windows RT App, what with having a Windows 7 phone I'm getting very frustrated with Sonos inability to build solutions for these platforms. I was planning on buying more Sonos equipment but it's currently on hold until I see some movement on at least one of these. I'm starting to think about looking to see if there are sensible 'neat' alternatives to Sonos.

Absolutely need this! Remote Desktop to my gaming rig in order to control the Play 5 sat on my desk works fine but is a pain in the a** 🙂 @ryan, regarding compiling the existing app up for the Arm processor, I agree that this would be an acceptable stop gap (IE, the app runs on the desktop, just like the Office apps), but it may not be that simple. My understanding (which may be incorrect so don't shoot me down in flames!) is that only DirectX is supported by the Arm processor, not OpenGL. So we're OK if it's DirectX based or indeed something like .NET / XAML or HTML, Silverlight and so on, but if it's OpenGL then it isn't going to be a simple recompile, check, fix, rinse and repeat. Obviously with no understanding of the underlying source and architecture it's all pure speculation but I'm just trying to raise awarness that things may not be a simple re-compile. Oh, and given the multiple controller's on multiple OS's and architectures, my money's on it being OpenGL!!

Yes xbox music service will also be very valuable as I would like to consolidate my streaming services and they seem to be bringing it all together.
