Hi,

I'm considering to buy a Sonos speakers, however, I didn't found out how does it play music. When I use the Sonos app in iPhone, what is the source of the music playing? Does the Sonos speaker play it directly from the internet or does it play via iPhone same as AirPlay? Do I need to have the app in iPhone running all the time or I just tap the play button and then I can close the app and the Sonos will still be playing the music/radio?

There are rumours of £30 off PLAY:1 on black Friday as well, then £30 off all play speakers till jan 6th (last bit sounds a bit unlikely to me).

How about $150 per speaker?

MikeV,

You should warn a guy when the link takes you to a website that has an autoplay video. :)

Thanks for the info. Since I moved, I've been needing another pair of Play:1s. This might be the right time.

So I've just ordered the double packet of Play:1! The shipping takes 2 days...sooo long!!! Can't wait that long

Laugh. I did the same thing. They've arrived (thanks, Apple store!), and my library now has music!
