Support Spotify Connect to allow users to use the Spotify app as the controller.

Spotify Connect was just announced and I was surprised that I didn't see Sonos in the list of companies that would provide support. Many Spotify users have been asking for a long time to be able to use the Spotify app as the controller for selecting songs, as it provides a superior experience (you still can't even see the Top 5 songs in the Spotify view within the Sonos app, and it is difficult to look through an artist's collection to find a specific song unless you know which album it was in). Please support spotify connect. Additional details on Spotify Connect are here: http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/3/4688166/spotify-connect-launches-to-stream-music-to-compatible-speakers If you look at the post on theverge, even the first comment was one asking for Sonos support for the feature.

      Please add another vote for using Spotify Connect rather than the Sonos app... Using a bloated Spotify playlist on the Sonos app is horrendously clunky and seriously frustrating. It's just bad!

          Sony new CES announcment for new devices to support both Spotify Connect and Google Cast for Audio.  Their "Sony SongPal" technology will provide multi-room control.  Come on Sonos - time to rethink this decision.

          Sonos is strong because of the integration of music services. Using Sonos with the Spotify service however is a pain. I end up with way too many playlists because only that way I can add music I discovered via the Spotify app. A back and forth between the Spotify and Sonos apps. 

          I own multiple Sonos speakers and have the need to expand ever since we moved into our new and larger home. I'm going to have to balance this significant disadvantage with choosing other systems like Sony's. 

          You're going to lose me as a customer if you don't integrate this soon. 

          Thank you for considering.

          This is a deal breaker for me expanding my sonos system; looking at things like the Pure Jengo to replace them instead.

          I'm pretty sure the Pure Jongo (there is no 'Jengo') was discontinued.  Better get them fast! ;-)

          Sonos you have to do somethign about this asap. I dont care how you do it just fuckin do it. Im a student and I can code a command software better than this shit u make us use. I mean comon.
          Some friends have been thinking about getting the SonosSystem but I told them dont becasue of the simple fact that we are not able to use spotify connect or whatever other software to make it possible to play through the beutiful spotify UI. Its a big shame - from a big companie as Sonos? Shame on you for real.
          Me myself have waited for an uptade from you, Sonos, for years now but you never listen to ur customers whatsoever. I will throw this crapsystem away and start support another musicSystem that actually take their customers before anything else.
          I used Sonos becasue of Spotify. But you never let me use Spotify the proper way. Fuckin ironic. And yea, have fun with my cash, you expensive piece of shit.
          Do something about this or u will lose a ton of ur customers and wont get any new.
          Im done with companies like Sonos.
          GG.
