The New Sonos App and Future Feature Updates

Last I checked, I didn’t work for Sonos, either. 

Since the Sonos app on your mobile device isn’t a ‘player’, but merely a remote control/window into what the speakers are doing, they are under different ‘rules’ than many other ‘players’. Fortunately, most Sonos devices these days accept either AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth connections, so you can stream music stored on your phone to them, using a different ‘player’ app. Something I do semi frequently, especially during baseball season. 

There is no charge for a music service to use the API. That’s why SONOS offers many dozens of services.

Personally, I don’t want my phone/pad/computer playing music. If I’m fussing with one of my Apps, the phone/pad/computer can crash/reboot/shut down and the music continues. This was the reason I installed SONOS in 2005. Over the years as AirPlay and Bluetooth developed their fan base, SONOS has incorporated these interfaces. There are legions of users whos’s world revolves around Bluetooth or AirPlay. I avoid these whenever possible.

What is ridiculous is your speculation that Sonos makes revenue from music services, or playing music housed on a mobile on Sonos is an easy feat. 

This says a lot about the fallout from the app. Speaking of which, does anyone have any insight on the January 27th iOS app update? I believe it also requires an update to the desktop controller as well.  I haven’t taken the steps to install that as I’m a bit paranoid and waiting for user feedback first.  Thanks in advance and, thanks for the article link, HOSzTang.  Brad

Please let me know how to play from my Pixel 8a to my SONOS gear without NAS, etc. Just from the mobile device’s stored songs direct to SONOS devices? Thanks!

Do you have a newer Sonos device that accepts a Bluetooth signal? All of the devices in your profile are ancient, relatively speaking, and from before Sonos added the Bluetooth capability.  

I have SONOS Play:3s, Playbar, and sub. I’m running nmap right now… details to come. I’m 90% sure this is old gear, I’m not seeing BT from my mobile device. So it’s running SONOS S2 Build 80.16.32.
