Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

So on the old ask forum wishlist items would get lost. Thought I would post a topic where people could vote their biggest wish for controller software improvements.

Group 1: room 2 and 3
Group 2: room 2, 4, 5
Group 3: room 1, 2, 4
Group 4: room 1,3,4,5
etc..etc...
But I also like to be able to send sound to individual room and still have the grouping around
Not sure how this isn't a thing yet.

In your example if you stream a radio station to group 1 and a playlist from your local library to group 2, what would you hear in ROOM 2?
Not sure how this isn't a thing yet.
Because it is logically impossible to play different sources to Group 1 and Group 2 at the same time.

I understand what he is saying. Virtual zones and the stand Alone too. Problem becomes if your playing a song to a virtual zone. What happens when you play a song to the single zone that is let of the group. It gets very complicated from a handling standpoint.
Actually, Chromecast Audio handles this very elegantly. I'm betting that deep in the bowels of the Sonos labs in Santa Barbara, engineers are hard at work figuring out a way to implement this, as well.

You can group. But you can't group and have single play from group as op can you.
Yes, if I understand what you're asking. I have two CCAs. I have them in a group (can't remember what it's called, say "My_Group"). This list will show up in them cast menu in any CC-enabled app:
Chromecast12345
Chromecast98765
My_Group
So, I can play to one or the other, or both. If I had a 3rd CCA, I could create more groups, but still be able to cast to each individually.

So if your playing to group then someone plays to the single it drops from group?
Oh, jeez, you're making me have to go play! ;)
OK, quick test. Playing to group from iPad, then to single from phone, the phone plays to both. But can then point iPad to other CCA, and play individually. So groups are dynamic, CCA's aren't bonded together, can be played to separately.

So when group playing it stays grouped until released by other unit playing. Makes sense but can be bit confusing in multi-speaker/controller environment. Probably down road could ask if want to spectate group when play. Pretty early in development.
Thanks chicks

I just want to have a last played option-music and audio books!!!!
iTunes can do this so can other cheap wireless units. Why can't sonos?
Multiple forums exist for this, however nothing from sonos.

Please consider adding this product!
Not really needed, if you are near a speaker, you can use the controlers on the speaker, If you are too far away from the speakers it's a problem?..... what if you are to far away from the controller? adding every meter a wall controler? Use the Macronos app instead, when your phone rings the Sonos system automatic mute, when you enter in your Wifi range (with your phone) the Sonos automaticly starts to play. And on the front of your phone a shortcut to stop the music.... what you want more to controle? 😃
Adding to my previous post...
Possibility to decide, in surround or surround+sub mode, which device switch off when playing music.
I could want to hear music from the 2.1 made from the Play1+sub, without breaking the surround group and moving the sub to the stereo play1s (after having put them in stereo).
2 switches on 2 lines.. When one is selected, the other is deselected..
When in music mode:
ONLY PLAYBAR
ONLY SURROUND

Minor detail, but I'd like to be able to supply a name for the group, even in the current grouping functionality.
I'd also like to suppress the name of the AMP when modifying the line-in source name. It's always confusing to people: they think the line-in source can only be played in the room where the AMP is wired instead of the entire system. Trust me: I know which AMP is associated with which device, and I don't need the controller to help me remember.

@Chris +1! Would also like the ability to move/hide etc other menu items

I don't see a need to do this with playlists. Doesn't sound basic to me.
You might not, but others do. Sorting algorithms are *VERY* basic. The code to implement them is really easy.

Not sure the need to playlist in this manner

Without an engineering level of knowledge on exactly how and what Sonos stores in a playlist, nobody can say how easy it is. Example, if a playlist of Spotify songs simply stores a service number and a link, with no local metadata, it would have to perform a metadata query on every track for each of the sorts you list above. For anything but the shortest of playlists, that is not "easy", nor efficient, no matter how simple the sorting code is.

we already know the "roll back.." is not a possible option. its not fair to include it as a lot of us would gladly roll back to v4.3 if we could..

If not roll back, then why not the option to stay on the current working version?
2 Requests: The track limit of about 60,000 songs means that 1/3 of my library remains unavailable. I would also LOVE that an Apple TV app be available so that I can access Sonos through the TV and it be visible to my entire party rather than crowding around an iPad or iPhone.
Hello
2 requests / idea :
- for play 5 (gen2) : enabling the Swype control to move to the next/previous favorite radio station. I don't know if it is an hardware or a software issue
- Displaying the current track for each favorite radio station on the favorite page.

hi,
Now that they implement trueplay and Apple Music with IOS controller, I think it would be nice to improve the IOS controller. I am a android and IOS user.My opinion is that the android controller is more userfriendly and is more intgrated with android system. what I miss on IOS:
* integration with control panel
* widget integration
* maybe a feeling, but the performance is better on a android.
kind regards,
Jonay
