      Music on your phone can be streamed direct to Sonos - androids have ability to connect direct to sonos not via home wifi. I'm not sure your real issue as your posting on a 2 year old thread that had direct play from Android/IOS implemented long ago.

      News to me. I just bought the playbar. I will not add components until an Android wireless playback is added.

      Sonos is already DLNA "push" compliant. If you download Skifta for Android, you can push music from your Android device directly to any Sonos player. If you have a Samsung Android device I believe DLNA push is already built in - no need for Skifta. Of course, having it built in to the Sonos app will be even better.

      Dear John, About that BETA versions, there's a mention of a Prince - Public beta and an 4.1.1 open beta. I've taken part in the 4.1 beta. I'm joined to the Prince public beta(which is probably the 4.1 beta). But i'm unable to join the new 4.1.1 beta because I need to stop the Prince beta. What should i do?

      Hi Machiel, Just join the 4.1.1 beta and it should put you in the right program. If that doesn't work, you can leave the Prince beta.

      Absolutely need this! Leaving the Android / Google market out in the cold
      You can use the SKIFTA App. in the meantime, very easy, free and effective. Maybe Sonos can duplicate the functionality? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5za2lmdGEuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHAiXQ..

Maybe Sonos can learn from or duplicate the functionality and add to it? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5za2lmdGEuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHAiXQ..

      Hurrah. Well done Sonos. The latest beta for Android has the ability to stream from Android it works perfectly and so much faster to show album covers in the listings. I will expand my Sonos system now. Playbar on the way.
