is there going to be option to play music direct from android devices rather than have an external source?

Hello Michael, I have moved this over to the Ideas section as it is not currently supported. This way, other users can also add their support for this feature.

I have just purchased my first sonos system and want to play music stored on my android phone. However, the sonos app isnt showing any music. Any ideas? This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Playing music stored on my android device.

I support this! My roommate can stream directly from her iphone to my sonos system and im jealous (galaxy s3). I hope this comes soon to android. Its only fair!

Michael, this was just implemented on iOS which makes it logical to also implement for android (android community is huge). Will all iPhone updates be ported to android shortly thereafter?

Oops I meant Azur, not Michael

I support this - as Android is now overtaking iOS rapidly. Like other Android users, am not on iTunes or have any iOS devices. I am very keen to purchase a Sonos system if it could 1) stream music from Android phone or tablet (as it can with iPhone etc) - rather than from PC/laptop or network attached harddrive. 2) use as wireless soundbar/stereo speakers for smartTV rather than analogue line in (which is not available on Play 3, but available on Play 5 or higher.) Or provide wired digital connection at least on Play 3 / 5. Both of which have been raised seperately by current users. However, I note that Samsung phones, tablets and smartTV are all DLNA compliant. Would making Sonos DLNA compliant, not address both of the above in one go??

Me too... just bought the system and would dearly love to use music on my Samsung GS3 or Android Tablet without having to have the PC open which is sort of a pain... While you are about enable Google play please !!!

Question is self-explanatory. Android has a larger market share than IOS and this functionality on Android would be a distinct selling point. This is a significant limitation at present as I'm having to use Twonky server on my S3 to achieve, which is less than elegant.

I do not use iTunes and have no iOS devices, playing from my Android Phone or Tablet would be great! This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Will I be able to play directly from an Android device soon?.

I was ready to drop some $ on this system until reading the fine print highlighted the fact that playing directly from my Android device is not supported. Any response as to future plans (particularly WHEN) for this capability? It's the difference between waiting patiently or looking for an entirely different solution.
