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

When can Sonos make this happen? This is a very desired feature. I don't have an iOS device and would love to be able to stream music to my Play:5 and Play:3 without turning on my desktop.

Yep, this is weird, companies tend to focus on idevices when in reality android has by far the bigger piece of the market. I currently have 4 android tablets and 3 android phones in my house and ican't stream directly. I have to use a 3rd party app to achieve this. I support this request.

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.
When is this coming to Android I just purchased this Sonos system and I think I am going to have to return it as it doesn't allow direct play from Android phones.

Another Android user here requesting support.

Hey Azur, This is not an idea it should be a basic THE ONE feature on this app, strange!!!. Because my android phone was not showing library from my phone on sonos controller I had to restart my mobile twice before searching on net to find this exclusion.

I was actually told in store by a Sonos rep that that it was possible to play directly from an android phone. I only found it wasn't when I tried to set it up today. That's Christmas Day, btw. Nice work, Sonos. Not only that, but there appears to be limited scope for a workaround by uploading my music given that there's no Amazon Cloud support in the UK (even though there is in the US?!) Google Play support would be better but, no, that obviously desirable feature is also missing! All-in-all, it looks like I'm going to have to take the thing back. Really, really disappointing. Honestly, isn't being able to play your own music without going through cables and PCs half the point of it???? Edit: Looks like you can get round this with Airplay/Doubletwist, but it's hardly ideal. Santa is not happy with you, Sonos.

I am also going to return Sonos tomorrow. I will wait to buy until it support controller's local file and hope it will support bluetooth as well. One more important issue is it should support all available radio stations app, which is not difficulty at all.

I am awaiting Android support from Sonos before purchasing. However, I have seen third party app 'Twonky Beam' used to stream audio to Sonos (and video to Samsung TV). On Youtube, there is a video under Twonky Mobile (replaced by Twonky Beam). Within Google Play, the screenshots for Twonky Beam show Sonos as device. Some users prefer BubbleUPnp to Twonky to do similar thing - both are free on Google Play. Probably, worth giving a go before returning Sonos, but agree this is a huge let down from Sonos given size of Android market.

Having standard Android compatibility would be fantastic...and surely a no brainer. Im using BubbleUPnp for now...bought the licence too, only £3 and seems to be working OK. However, for the money i have spent on the Play 5 i would expect this to be a standard feature

It's not going to support Bluetooth, the players don't have Bluetooth hardware in them and you can't add it with just software.
