So on the old ask forum wishlist items would get lost. Thought I would post a topic where people could vote their biggest wish for controller software improvements.

Would be nice to have the a-z links going down the right side of screen on the Amazon music library screen rather than having to scroll through the whole list.

I agree a lot with that Google Now integration idea! It would be great to be able to start playing some music by your voice. Don't you think that PC controller's design is too outdated? I feel it kinda similar to 2008-2010 versions of itunes or even to MusicMatch. Some interface polishing on Windows and Mac would be certainly well received! I think that some white based interface similar to the ones in iOS and Android could be very nice

when an artist is searched for, then selected (from a particular service)
I would like to be able to see all songs for that artist
rather than a set of albums

I'd like to see Sub Folders in the playlist selection. 6 people in house all with their own playlists! Means a lot of playlists. Would be great if each person could have their own folder with their own playlists in

Quite a basic ask, but how about some skins or different colour options for the controller instead of the blue and black? Shouldn't be too difficult an option to offer?

So on the old ask forum wishlist items would get lost.

I didn't like the Ask forum, but I don't think that the wishlist items got lost over there. There was a separate Ideas section, and ideas were ranked by popularity, and you could re sequence them by newness, or Sonos response. You could see which items that you had voted upon.

It is this new forum which causes them to get lost, and I presume that is by design, ie. that Sonos prefers it that way.


They seem to ignore them whether they are easy to find or lost in the conversation. Really annoying.

Not sure if this possible requirement has been asked in a different way.. Though I'd like to be able to press a button called along the lines of "Fade In" then once selected he next song fades in on demand. I always find it harsh when one night I'm chilling with delicate tunes and then I hit next and there is a loud silence between songs if that makes sense.. 🙂

Where Do I even begin? The interface between Sonos and services is unbelievably horrible. Such a great system with the worst possible interface for actually listening to music. Well, I guess if you are a top 40 fan and or listen to just the most common choices of any artist, than you will be fine. Lets start with Spotify which has been my main source of music for the past 6 years or so after weening off of CDs.
Under my music where is Artists? It has songs and albums bit not artists. Where is discover? Where are all my radio stations? Who thought this is a good idea? I tried Apple music which absolutelyII sucks in comparison. But it at least has a more similar interface with Sonos. I am now looking into a system that has Spotify native in it. So disappointed. To much work to use this. The sonos app is next to useless. I find myself listening to junk. Why is there no way to like or favorite anything on any of the services? That is one of the most important elements in using any of the services. It's how they learn what you like and how they perform. How can anyone leave that out? Does anyone that works at Sonos actually use the product ? Great speaker. Great set up. Great tuning. But after that you actually want to listen to music as you are accustomed to on the service of your choice. I guess if you are new to streaming and don't know any better with common taste, I'm sure you're going to be fine with it. If you are going to design a music system that works off of a streaming service, than include all of the service. Thats what we are paying monthly for. If we cant use it, that why pay for it. I can't be the first to point this out.
