Sonos: one more effort to be made on the software!

Nothing to say about the quality of the speakers and their ease of use. Sonos makes a good product whose main fault is to not work if the internet is not working or not being able to hear the sound of a movie or video on her pregnant (which is a pity) . The software to adjust the speakers to combine them or separate them is also quite well designed. Where it gets complicated is in interfacing with other listening systems. And then we realize that the weak point remains its Sonos software. Sonos is hard enough to find your music libraries on your other devices (computers). But he struggles to interface with other systems plays, especially because its software is less evolved than third-party services that you can use (like Spotify or Deezer). To listen to his music on Spotify, it is in fact now go through the Sonos system software. Besides the need for a Spotify Premium subscription, you will have forgotten most software developments Spotify: more access to social features, more access to applications from Spotify Sonos software (eg not possible to take advantage of the function karaoke musiXmatch). If we can do research on the Spotify catalog, rankings capabilities are unsophisticated and presentation of results of tedious research in relation to the fluidity of the software interface of Spotify. Listening to live radio from the Internet is not as fluid as it should since the difficulties between Sonos and TuneIn and requires a bit of dexterity. As for podcasts, several solutions are possible, but obviously, that of passing by iTunes still seems the most functional (and again, fault descriptions podcasts - including those of Radio France - is a disaster as systems dissemination shall multiply). In short, we hope Sonos will eventually hire the designer Spotify software and think more before integration APIs plays multiple systems so that we can enjoy as well, see better, if we had to go directly by each system. Fast. Before Spotify, Deezer and others begin to propose to listen to their audio systems via interfaces of our choice, which could be a more effective solution and certainly faster.

What we would like especially? This is a software that supports simple drag and drop. A software that can swing on its Sonos speakers the sound of a video that listen on the web or film, or any piece of music we listen from any other software. In short, that Sonos is really the enclosure of our home computers and tablets. This is far from the case!
