There is more than enough room on iPad app to display song lyrics - why can't I see all the ID3 tags in Sonos?

    Hi Raj, I am going to move this topic to the Ideas section as a suggestion for a future update. We typically do not comment on future updates. From the Ideas section, other Sonos customers can view your idea and vote on it. We forward these ideas to our Product Development team for consideration in upcoming releases.

    I have never understood for what the info screen for a mp3 file or a radio station is good for as nearly nothing is shown there. Please add mp3 ID3 tag data there. As the sonos software already should have this information (because it is used for the indexing) this should not be such a big issue?

    Hi, I am a confident Sonos user for quite some time now. Being able to display the lyrics on Mac/PC/iOS Apps would be perfect though - are there any plans?

    I agree, the available screen space should be put to some use and lyrics (and other id3 tags) are one of the best options.

    Come on, many, many months later and this feature is no where?  Not available on the interface Pandora is exposing, then just say so.

    Please please add this. It's 2014 already! I and 20 million others have big old tablets and we want to read lyrics when we're listening to music. Sure we can do it online, but it would be easier via Sonos, and it can't be hard. For that matter, any enhancements to jacket art and wikipedia-level info should be brought in to the Sonos interface. With tablets, you could recreate the pleasure of leafing through a CD booklet or looking at a record cover - which is the missing piece of digital music enjoyment right now.

    Hellooo Sonos guys - It's time to say something on this topic, please !! It has been a year since you last responded (that you would make it an "idea") but we are still waiting.... Please state when we can expect this feature or be honest with us and tell us to forget it and use Pandora or musiXmatch -Thomas

    This is one of the occasions, for which I still turn back to iTunes on the desktop as Sonos still does not support lyrics display. All songs in a local library are supposed to be tagged correctly, which already includes lyrics!
