Hello,

A couple of weeks ago I gave a party at home for my friends. Ofcourse I used Sonos as my entertainment system. But because all my friends are connected to the home wifi they also can controll the music. So every 10 seconds a new song is putt on. And I find this very anoying. So I thaught it would be nice if there was a "Party Mode" so that only one device is autorised to controll the music. It would be a nice feature for the next update.

    Hi MarcoW,

    Welcome to the community. I'll send in a feature request to add a way to lock speakers, or limit control to certain speakers, thanks for the suggestion. Many of the Sonos system's current features come from user requests.

      This is definitely a function that are needed.
      Although I want to suggest a slightly different approach.

      I want to have a party mode, but I want it to disable:

      1. The play now function, so to only allow for play next and as to queue
      2. Ability to ad full album to a playlist

      Also if the 'play next' function could be modified to ad the number after the one that was added to the queue previously.
      This would provide a more 'democratic' party experience.
