well, sort of 😉 Just thought that I would share this with the community - I am running a sonos controller from my web browser under linux ! happy times
I just installed an extension called "arc welder" (https://developer.chrome.com/apps/getstarted_arc) into my chrome browser. Arc welder lets you run android apps in your chrome browser
and guess what ? the 5.3.1 apk of sonos controller for android works a treat
go forth, run your sonos controller under linux. at last.
All features of the android controller seem to work perfectly.

I am using Sonos_com.sonos.acr_5.3.1_28186172.apk. I extracted it from my tablet using APK Extractor.
So much Kudos for this find!
Running the SONOS-App successfully on Linux Mint 17.2 now. 🙂

All right, while I was pretty excited earlier, this seems to be not as good as I thought.
Running the Sonos apk with the chrome extension maxed my Core i7 4790.
I was wondering why my fan is so loud and then saw that all 8 cores were running at 100%.

6.0 with Google Chrome 46.0.2490.80 on ubuntu 15.10 x_64 works. only issue is all the cores of the cpu are maxed out.
I bold a sonos controller for Ubuntu phone, touch and desktop for release >= 15.10. The controller doesn't handle services like Spotify, deezer etc... It handles only radios and share music index. It is licensed under GPLv3

Is there a way to install your controller on an rpm based distro (opensuse)?

The controller has dependencies with ubuntu-ui-toolkit, ubuntu-thumbnailler and icons theme provided by Ubuntu. The reason is the controller works for convergent platform from Ubuntu including phone, touch pad, and desktop. It could be possible to make rpm for them because all have their source code opened. Maybe someone will do that. For instance the easy way is to run an Ubuntu platform.

Convergent UI allow application to support desktop screen or phone screen
Thanks for posting this pascalo. I recently installed Ubuntu as my main OS for personal use and was hoping to find a good Sonos controller solution. I just installed your latest build and it's solid and works well. Happy to help test any streaming services. It seems like Spotify and Soundcloud both basically work right now but there are some bugs with updating the queue (seems to only work after a fresh launch of the software). Thanks for your hard work and for sharing this with the community!

I just tried the AppImage version of this that supports a lot of different Linux distributions and it installed on my OpenSuse with no problems and the parts I've tried so far are working great.
Supported distributions: https://appimage.org/
The spouse may well try using our Sonos gear again, she can't do touch screens and doesn't have Windows or a Apple to use.

If anyone is still looking for a controller that works on Linux, I’m working on a controller for the web browser. Install process is very simple. The goal is for it to be the best controller out there for the desktop or tablet.
