Has any posting here EVER produced anything ?

The original list was much smaller. I simply took the "Sound Ideas" forum and started at the beiginning. Every thread that was implemented was listed, usually by cutting and pasting the title. After that, release notes were compared with forum requests, and the release notes were cut and pasted.

Since then, the purpose for the list has been made redundant by the "Implemented" list at ask.sonos, so I've stopped adding to it:

Just where is this 'implemented' list? The link you provided to a Sonos 'Conversations' page with almost 10,000 conversations. I see no 'implemented' on that page and when I searched for it in the search box I just a list of conversations with that word in them.

Try here.

Thanks. That list is just a very small subset of what is posted at the beginning of this thread and also a lot harder to read.

Perhaps you should re-read the jgatie post you quoted:

These forums long pre-dated ask.sonos.com which is why the list here is so extensive. There may be a small overlap between our list and ask.sonos.com but all new ideas are now over on the other forum.

Hahaha, this thread is the greatest "screw you" to a snarky-assed question in history.

Can anyone name a single user-submitted suggestion that has been implemented by Sonos ?

Google Play Music got implemented, quite nicely too as you can stream from the app or do it from within Sonos. It took forever but they nailed the execution of it.

Dozens:

User submitted suggestions that have come to fruition:

....
Airplay

Airplay has NOT been added to SONOS ????

Airplay has NOT been added to SONOS ????

Airplay support, via an Airport Express connected to a line-in, most certainly was added to Sonos. They even customized the interface to allow for a special buffer for Airplay. Integrated Airplay support was not added, but that is not what the entry claimed.

Airplay connected to a line-in support is NOT Airplay !!!! And how many SONOS devices have line-in ? And line-in is analogue.

My £80 Apple TV has Airplay (obviously). Using an analogue output from an Airplay receiver which is then connected to an analogue input of a SONOS device (which most don't have anyway) is NOT Airplay !!!!

Dear freeflyer,

AirPlay is licensed by Apple for quite a considerable price. There are "cost free" seemingly reverse engineered software solutions, I would assume however, that Sonos would not / could not / is not allowed to use those (e.g. Shairport).

So, to be able to support AirPlay, Sonos would need to play a REALLY considerable amount of money for the AirPlay license (do a search for the costs, it might raise the price of a single unit by 100$). If it somehow could be implemented in the old devices (other than e.g. a new "Airplay Connect" kind of thing), Sonos might even need to pay for every single installed player (no idea, if it is really like that).

So, there are technical and surely mainly financial reasons why we have not seen direct Airplay support.

Apart from that: keep in mind that a considerable amount of Sonos users does not use iOS/Apple and therefore would have no use for Airplay.

The "solution" with an Airport express is maybe not the prettiest, but it works (I have it implemented here with a Play5) and is comparably cost effective. A dedicated "Airplay Connect" could be nice, but would it sell in the same volumes as the rest of Sonos' equipment? I highly doubt it.
