Can someone direct me to an API and a VB.NET example on how to play an .MP3 or to start the playing of a Sonos Radio Station?

(BTW, this is VB.NET Client/Desktop application)

Thanks, but need a Windows 7 solution, not on Windows 8/10 yet...

Even some API for purchase. Something that allows me to play an audio file (.wav, .mp3, etc.) over Sonos. Ideally, if something is already playing I would allow me to pause it, or stop it... then play the audio file, then un-phase or restore playing of the original (like a Radio Station - whatever is playing).

Can’t image that someone hasn’t successfully done this already...

I'd give that Win8 code a try. Probably not much difference between that and Win7, if any at all. It can always be tweaked if it doesn't work.

Its the Resume afterwards that is the hard part. Sonos have added some clip support to the cloud API, not sure if it is available at the UPnP level.
