I'd like to see Sonos develop: 1. a truly wireless Play:4, with docking station for charging the unit. 2. an add-on battery-pack for Play:3 and Play:5.

    Clarification on why this is popular when other ideas clearly more popular are already tossed out as not planned?

    Huh? I think you are jumping the gun. I don't see where this idea has been given any designation at all.

    Hello Johan, For item 1 in your post, if I were to rephrase your Idea, would it be safe to summarize as a portable/battery powered Sonos player ? Thanks Mike

    No designation = stays in Popular column in view of all. Not Planned = harder to find, less likely to draw more support of other users.

    My guess is yes it would. It's certainly been asked for enough in the forums. 🙂 Rechargeable base unit - not user replaceable as such.

    Absolute, the wish (not only from me) is to be able to have the Sonos experience wherever I want not having to be restricted by having an outlet nearby. A portable/battery (rechargable) unit.

    Thanks...I just wanted to be sure. I can tell you that this has been requested and being considered.

    It would be awesome to have a zoneplayer that comes with a 'portable' option. This would allow users to 'undock' the zoneplayer from it's wired charging station (or something) and move the zoneplayer wireless to another place (outside, for example). During that part if would obviously have to run on batteries. This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Have a portable zoneplayer.

    I would like to see this feature too. Use the Bose Sound dock to illustrate the idea here.
