Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/has-any-posting-here-ever-produced-anything--29154

You should put in a feature that allows you to cast the sound of what ever sound is coming out of the device with the controller, when you want to. like what happens with Bluetooth enabled speakers, except phone calls should be exempted from that, but alerts (MSG and Phone Ringing) would be fine (a setting for that would be great too).

Who is with me?

My personal wishlist here now is quite small:
1. The ability to stream directly from phone/tablet to Sonos (for example youtube)
2. Ability to use phone/tablet as speaker for the Sonos system (so I can have easy access to my extensive music library when gardening, or in the garage, for example)

Hi Everyone,

There are some really great suggestions here, thanks for your input. As always, we can't share information about possible products or features, but we are always looking for your feedback.

As a new user, I just saw the bug where albums with the same names have all their songs combined into just entry under Albums.
Can't believe this was reported years ago and not fixed yet. How many albums named Greatest Hits are there or Covers?

Integration with Google Now for Voice control (and by proxy, Google Assistant). I want to be able to say "OK, Google - play my morning playlist in the kitchen" and have my Sonos speakers begin playing music there.

I would like the artist view to use the album artist tag or at least add this as an option.
Do this for all albums, not just compilations. I only mark albums as compilations like soundtracks or tributes where pretty much every song is a different artist.

Too many albums like greatest hits will have some songs with a guest artist so if I find that album in the artist view with the primary artist and try to play the whole album, it will miss the songs which don't have the exact artist name. I could then switch to the album view to play it all, but I prefer looking for albums from the artist view.

Currently I would have to tag every album like this in iTunes as a compilation so I could use the album artist option.

An alternative option would be tomptoide an option to sort the album view by album artist like iTunes allows you to do.

Families with kids really need the ability to play the non-explicit version. Spotify has both versions of any song, but Sonos doesn't seem to support them.

Okay I see that the use album artist option under compilations applies to all albums, not just iTunes flagged compilations.
So I turned that on and then I marked the album artist as "(compilation) in iTunes so then it shows up like compilations normally o under artist view.
I also used (soundtracks) as album artist for even more separation. Usually iTunes has them marked as various.

I really would appreciate to be able to sort my spotify playlists on 'datetime song added to the list', so my most recent additions will be played first.
