Windows Desktop App in the Store

Do you have any plans to bring the Sonos controller app for the Windows desktop to the Microsoft Store? I prefer to install software on Windows only from the store, where I'm somewhat guaranteed a better experience than a stand-alone installer - e.g. the app will be nicely sandboxed to not slow down my system, I'll get automatic updates whenever you release any, I'll get notifications/live tiles if you'd like to offer those, etc. Now that Spotify is in the store, it would be great to have Sonos there too.

Please note: I'm referring to your existing desktop app - not a mobile app for Windows phone or anything like that.

Many thanks!

Hi there, Hectagon. Thanks for posting! At the moment we have no information regarding bringing the Sonos Windows desktop Controller app to the Microsoft App Store. However, I am happy to forward your request along to the team for consideration. Thanks again for the feedback and keep it coming.

You're not telling me anything new. Unfortunately, Sonos has previously said they have no intention to develop an app for the Microsoft Store. Whether that will change now that there is a Microsoft device that ONLY works with apps from the Store, I don't know... but knowing that Sonos doesn't release any special details or info until they're ready, I wouldn't expect any word from them if they're going to do it until it's done.

I use the Spotify app in S Mode to select Sonos speakers but it doesn't always seem to pick up different rooms which is odd.
