Party mode

It would be a really neat feature to have some sort of party mode i could enable before the party, that would put MY controller as the master and all other controllers where guests. This way my guests that have connected to my sonos with their smart phone, can search for songs on my system but their only possibility is to queue the song(s) and not clear/skip the queue. Furthermore the guests shouldn't be able to stop/start/forward a song to break the rhythm and probably annoy the person that chose the current song playing. After the party is over, the master controller can just disable party mode and all controllers work evenly again.

Party mode for me isn't as much about limiting complete access. That's easy enough to fix. It's about limiting control of the play queue so someone doesn't accidentally hit play now and wipe out everyone's requests.

I'm happy to share my bandwidth AND the ability control (in a limited capability) the music for the night. Different people have different tastes and I'm happy to satisfy all music genres... I'd just like to limit what can be done with it. Especially with people not necessarily aware/fully understand the "Play now, Play Next and Enqueue" features...

Interesting find. It would appear to indicate they have been working on this for a long time. Maybe waiting on the patent approval before being able to share anything and get the ball rolling on implementation.

Would be a great feature! Maybe best implemented as an option when joining a Sonos network (host with password or guest with restricted access).

In my opinion, it would be great if it was possible to select different modes for how the app reacts when someone selects a song.Today, the Sonos app immediately starts playing a song when someone selects it. It would be nice if it was possible to select a mode where it adds it to the queue when someone selects it. Nothing more. This will immediately solve the annoying problem where people are stopping the running song.

Instead of letting people connect to the wifi, a solution is to use 1 iPad, and circle it around.
