Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

bump

I've been asking to be able to limit certain controlers to certain zones for years, along with many many others. It's insane that they don't deliver on this. Should be 3 days of programming, tops.

There are SO MANY controller side changes that could be made but aren't. Most controller functions are not limited by the hardware constraints of older sonos components so there is really no reason not to make such changes. Many are simple 'macros' of existing functions. The mantra to 'keep things simple' can be maintained for those that want it by adding a number of potential functions into 'optional settings'. Users are much more used to such things these days - take you average new car - makes sonos looks like a childs toy in comparison to the tech you find in there and thats not a good thing to me ! I like features and clever, useful, time-saving functions - many are missing in sonos.

Option to sort by year on recent thread. Similar to poll question - show new music (expanded to order by year)

On the Roku remotes (the higher end one), an end-user can plug in headphones directly to the remote to enjoy private listening (to whatever the Roku is broadcasting). Link: http://www.businessinsider.com/this-tv-remote-from-roku-has-a-feature-i-need-on-my-tv-remote-now-2013-3?IR=T&

Since the Sonos already allow us to use iOS (& Android?) devices as controllers, I don't see why Sonos is unable to implement this feature as well...unless the Sonos mobile controller software has no access to the data of the media playback?

The sonos remotes don't actually ever see the music. It doesn't stream to them. Only those songs stored in the device which you can play to device anyhow.

On the other hand this feature could easily be added to a custom dedicated remote which is what ROKU has done. Sonos could introduce a remote that has a headphone jack and acts as a zone player. It would also be a good opportunity to provide some hard buttons and a drop-in charger.

What if they build the sonos bridge into such a device?! (I know remote controls're often battery-powered but still...)

Bump - recent request again for Stereo sound toggle to use to go to full mode when listening to music via toslink on Playbar.

I'd like to see a way to manually or automatically mute the system from your smart phone when a phone call comes in. So that you can do it before you answer the call. I'm not sure of the software adjustments needed to do that, but it would be so handy.
