As per my 8 year old thread - http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=14604 I would like virtual zones - for example, an upstairs zone or downstairs, or outside so I can quickly get the music I want to the areas I want.

    +1. Considering the wizardry you all are capable of, this seems like a gimme.

      +1. Permanent groups and/or virtual groups where devices can be used in more than 1 virtual group would be great. I've seen others refer to them as "scenes." Anything to make grouping and un grouping faster.

        100% agree on permanent groups that stay in tact through power failures. I would like to be able to unplug a player that is part of a group to clean or shift it to a different spot in the room and have it rejoin the group it was in when it is powered back up.I'm not as clear on how the scenes would work though. If I have two different virtual groups playing at the same time and I have a player that is a member of both of them then which program is that player going to play?

          I would like to see more group options available in the Sonos app.

          I would also like to preset the default volume for each individual speaker in a group. This way, when the group is enabled, the speakers are at a known volume.

            I meddle with some software development and sometime you make design decisions that you really, really regret. And reengineering the code costs a fortune...

              This really is a must have feature

                I would like to see this type of feature implemented, it would be much more useful to me than, say, moving tracks around in the queue.

                I am often grouping/ungrouping/re-grouping players depending on who is in the house, what time of day, how the house is being used

                  as a workaround, for anyone using a IOS check out 'Sonosequencr' on the app store. Provides some easy options via custom made 'macros' for creating and switching between virtual zones. Only problem is that it is not part of the Sonos app so you have to switch between apps.
