Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

Yes the alarm grouping seems rather essential.

Or definable virtual zones even better.

I like the ability to make up of customise room grouping but also leave the single room speaker configuration alone, say I got 5 speakers in 5 rooms, I want to be able to create various combination for customs group like

Group 1: room 2 and 3
Group 2: room 2, 4, 5
Group 3: room 1, 2, 4
Group 4: room 1,3,4,5
etc..etc...

But I also like to be able to send sound to individual room and still have the grouping around

Not sure how this isn't a thing yet.

In your example if you stream a radio station to group 1 and a playlist from your local library to group 2, what would you hear in ROOM 2?

Not sure how this isn't a thing yet.

Because it is logically impossible to play different sources to Group 1 and Group 2 at the same time.

I understand what he is saying. Virtual zones and the stand Alone too. Problem becomes if your playing a song to a virtual zone. What happens when you play a song to the single zone that is let of the group. It gets very complicated from a handling standpoint.

Actually, Chromecast Audio handles this very elegantly. I'm betting that deep in the bowels of the Sonos labs in Santa Barbara, engineers are hard at work figuring out a way to implement this, as well.

You can group. But you can't group and have single play from group as op can you.

Yes, if I understand what you're asking. I have two CCAs. I have them in a group (can't remember what it's called, say "My_Group"). This list will show up in them cast menu in any CC-enabled app:

Chromecast12345
Chromecast98765
My_Group

So, I can play to one or the other, or both. If I had a 3rd CCA, I could create more groups, but still be able to cast to each individually.

So if your playing to group then someone plays to the single it drops from group?
