Surely you should make an app for these platforms (Win8, WP8)?? People are buying your very expensive products who have devices which use these operating systems and they are forced to use alternative apps (phonos) to get the best out of them. That is very poor

I'd like to give my humble support for the request to have Apps for the Win8, Win RT, WP8 platforms. I cannot believe, it was too burdensome to downgrade the xisting Windows Computer App to work in the new MS envirnonment.

Disappointing that this is the response from Sonos after such ardent campaigning from your customers.   Be straight with people - are you developing something?, is there an impediment to doing this?; or is it just that you don't want to?

I have learned that Windows 8 has built in security that Sonos cannot bypass.  It seems Sonos prefers an unobstructed pathway, via your router, into your home network.  One can only guess what Sonos will do once inside your computer.

Add me to the list of people that are waiting to drop $1500+ on Sonos products until my Windows phone / WinRT tablet can control them.

My conspiracy theory...

Sonos needs a buyer to return capital to founder and investors.  Most major consumer tech device companies have their own home music system solutions that compete with Sonos (Apple, Samsung, Sony, etc...and Google has at least tried making their own).  That makes each of these companies unlikely buyers.  The music subscription services out there are still figuring out their long-term business models and can't afford to acquire and manage their own hardware, not to mention it would create a conflict of interest with cross-provider compatibility.

And then there is Microsoft...a tech behemoth that has made it very clear they want to own the living room.  Sonos had a whole home offering for the most part but lacked any real home theatre solution until just under a year ago.  Microsoft has no solution for home audio hardware.  Sonos would be a perfect stop-gap and Sonos know's that.  Sonos is in an excellent position to effectively hold Microsoft hostage by not supporting any of their services (xbox, windows phone, windows 8 touch).

Some time back Sonos mentioned they had nothing to share on the phone offering but that they were heading in a very positive direction.  It seems highly doubtful, throughout the entire xbox one design process, that it failed to cross anyone's mind at Microsoft about how to best provide seamless audio integration for the xbox one and also allow xbox music to better penetrate users' homes. 

These parties have undoubtedly talked.  Sonos needs leverage to get the price they want.  There are probably internal versions of the software supporting each Microsoft platform.

Sonos, please release an app already.

Microsoft, it probably wouldn't be a terrible idea for you to buy Sonos.  Might afford you a large number of user on android or iPhone that just might make xbox their home media device of choice if you had a full suite offering.  Not to mention, you need something to compete against Apple and Samsung's home audio solutions.

I like that idea, Microsoft buying Sonos, until then I can share that I have stopped purchasing Sonos products. I can also share that I have stopped recommending Sonos.

See not really hard to share directions. Are you building the app or not? If not, Sonos products have no future in my household.

I am selling my Sonos as it just gather dust having moved to a Windows Phone and I am not paying to install Phonos. Poor show on Sonos for not integrating its systems across all platforms - think I might explore something with my Solicitors along the lines of selling a product not fit for purpose.
