Please consider the following suggestions for the next release: 1.) Add a Search function within the "Queue" to enable us to search for a track, artist, or album without having to scroll up and down to find the song we want to play and without having to re-add the song to the queue, thus creating duplicates. 2.) Related to suggestion #1 above, if we do add a track that's already existing in the Queue, it would be nice if Sonos tells us that it already exists in the queue to prevent duplicates and give us an option to play it now or play it next instead without having to add it to the queue again. 3.) When selecting "Replace Queue" from the drop down list, it would be nice if Sonos reverts back to the old design where it did not automatically start playing the songs in the queue. That's what "Play Now" and "Play Next" are for. Thank you!

I'd like a fade in so I can specify the time it takes for the music to get to the desired volume when using my sosnos system as an alarm.

For example I want my music to wake me having the music go from volume 0 to volume 4 in 4 minute (or whatever length of fade in I desire).

Hi
I have 4 play 1, 1 playbar and 1 subwoofer
2 of the play 1 is created as stereo pair and the other 2 is as surround speaker for my 5.1 setup

i wish the sonos software can easily swop my 2 pair of play 1 function when i move to my bedroom to watch my movies

it is quite troublesome to remove my surround and then set up the stereo pair in my bedroom again.

really a wish list for me.

Set the music playback option to "Full" in the 5.1 set-up options. Music will be pretty much the same as if you had a stereo Play 1 pair

Hmm what I meant was setting two profile for my 5.1 for two rooms so I won't need to keep repairing my play 1s to act as surround

Profile A: Two play 1(C+D) in living room + sound bar (A) and sub (B)
Profile B: Two play 1(E+F) in bedroom + sound bar (A) and sub (B)

I imagine the trouble of lugging the Sub and Playbar from Living Room to Bedroom trumps the inconvenience in the app!!

I don't need to move my soundbar and sub. My tv console can rotate. Thus the request.

YES, YES, YES! I have over 300 songs in my playlists and can never find a song when requested. Just a sort by artist, and or song (or a search) would be awesome. Please add this!

How about any serious UI enhancements at all?

I now have Sonos in every room - it's great. I've ironed out the niggly problems and I am completely happy with my music experience........except in the computer room. My music library is stored on the computer and I can play through my expensive computer speakers. I can't listen to whatever is on in the rest of the house though. I don't want to spend more money buying another Sonos product and render my computer speakers obsolete but I am suffering from disappointment every time I walk into the computer room and the music around the rest of the house is not playing. Is it possible to get Sonos to include my computer as a room and play through my speakers too ?
