Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements
+22So 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.
Wishlist Items for Controller

+22of the frequent requests though ... really only more native integration and interface changes (good or bad) have been addressed by Sonos. They truly don't really look much at individual user requests. Well they see them - but customization doesn't normally fit into their plans.
I miss the possibility to give individual music numbers a stars on the fly - like in the old Winamp
+22You can with some ervices
On which devices would that be?
I use PC, Android phone and Android tablet and on these it is not possible
+22Sorry jay should say services. It is dependent on the service (like Pandora has the thumbs up in Sonos)
On the controller app I never remember where to look to view a room and where to look to group/ungroup rooms.
Maybe logically they should be in the same place.

+22The rooms button at bottom gives list of rooms then click on room to view it. The rooms button bottom middle pretty hard to miss.
There is the quick group menu under the song title but that is just to add subtract players currently playing.

5) wildcards for track searches... if you don't put the title in EXACTLY right sonos won't find it. or at least support fuzzy searches.
Agree. I'm using Google Play Music from the Sonos Controller, wildcards would be really welcomed.
Viewing the "Last added playlist" (and "Thumbs-up playlist"), already discussed on other threads, would be also interesting.
I would LOVE to have a way that we could restrict access to certain rooms/zones because i wouldn't want kids to suddenly turn up loud music at night while we were sleeping, for example!

+4The feature that got the most votes is still not implemented. Sonos, please get on this!
Party Mode (Limited user mode zones, queue manipulation)
+22Never seems to make their radar. I’ve been holding out hope a third party would make something but no luck yet. We just need a Sonos Jukebox app.
A feature I would love to see implemented is the ability to double tap/click on the master volume control slider and have all grouped speakers synchronise there volume to the master volume setting.
Another feature I would like implemented is the ability to use my Sonos speakers as PC speakers so they play whatever sounds my PC/Laptop is playing. This way I could stream YouTube, Netflix, or any other audio over them. Alas, I'm not going to hold my breath for this feature to be implemented as I'm sure that the Sonos company are either prevented from implementing this feature by their licensing agreements with Audio Content providers, or like most other big companies (like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.), don't care about what their customers want ... they will take whatever scraps we deign to throw their way, and they WILL like it!!!

Interesting on the first feature, for sure.
As to the second, it would make Sonos speakers irrelevant. So, you would end up having no need to pay Sonos any money, which generally speaking, is contrary to what a public company wants to do. The only way Sonos makes money, at this point in time, is selling hardware.

You could use Sonos to broadcast the audio from your PC around the house via line-in, if you have a compatible Sonos connect/amp - your Sonos system just becomes a really expensive set of PC speakers. Technically, you could integrate Spotify and Sonos this way, if you really wanted to. But I'm guessing you're actually looking for something different, and something that doesn't involve cables. Or have I missed the point of your post?
