Yes, it works .... and how !!!
My wife and my daughter are not computer-friends but with the intuitive user guidance, they have befriended within minutes.
In addition to the small ZonePlayer I now have my receiver stand and that's it. As a precaution I had connected the simple CD players at the beginning, but when I have to months still not used to, the now ekes out its existence in the closet with the other hi-Komponeten.
With us in the family, the term "listening" to get a different meaning. Every day now runs the sound system and it flared up almost always a little discussion who may now play his favorite music. The iPad and the iPod touch are constantly in the USER and it makes a lot of fun at Napstar to go to title search. Whether himself created playlists, music charts or 10,000 radio stations .... with Napster (or other suppliers) is the choice of music so huge. I do not know what I have invested in my CD collection. Since the 10, - Euro per month for Napstar a joke.
Next, we will set the S5 speaker. So that we can then in the house listening to music where we want (a socket provided) ..... we look forward to the next garden party.
A few minor criticisms I have but still:
The so-touted lightweight installation is but little more time for non-professionals. With a little patience and an expert on the phone but that is solvable. The acquisition is not cheap, but still worth every euro. And something I look wistfully still in my stereo and my CD collection, I will now never use.
To operate with iPad, iPad2 and iPod:
From the beginning, I use the Sonos system with these devices, so unfortunately can not be used with a comparison with the remote control of Sonos. Still, I can recommend the use of these devices only warmly.
Especially the menu of the iPad is awesome. The large screen one has chosen Everything in view and with a fingertip.
When iPod is the menu navigation through the smaller display something time consuming but intuitively and logically. For all the devices you have a small time delay of about 1 second. Whether that is on the devices or on the wireless connection I can not say. But I have read that the original remote control is not to have this little delay. What I have noticed: If I take the Ipod in hand, the first application will take about 3-4 seconds. When I see the iPad application no.
Even with this small gripe I would control mainly from opitischen and price reasons, prefer the Sonos controller. The control and menu navigation of the iPad is sublime anyway about everything.
PS. Since a few days, the iPad now hangs on the wall in the kitchen. Not only that, it works great, now it has also become an eye-catcher and everyone who sees the would like to have it also.
