great device compared to competitors

I always benefit from the experiences of all the reviews, I thought to myself, I rate once my purchases:

The Sonos ZonePlayer 90 bought with the 200 controller is now approximately three quarters of a year to year with me and makes me still super happy. My CD cabinet took more than 100 CDs, almost impossible to overlook, let alone from the place that takes in claim. Therefore I bought this:

SONOS ZonePlayer 90 package and controller C200
NAS - NAS Fujitus Q600.

On the NAS, which is in the basement (have network cabling in the house) are among other things the MP3s of all CDs (and other things). These are streamed via LAN on the ZonePlayer is connected to which my stereo.

Installation:
It was really a no-brainer, you click through the menu on the controller as instructed by and at the end of the controller is synced with the ZP90. Then you have to share a drive (here on my NAS) as media library. This I have done on my PC, on which I have previously installed the free software from SONOS.

Operation:
After the music library is updated, are all titles for searches.
- Search by artist, albums, composers, titles
- Display of all artists, albums, composers, titles
- Sort by genre (have revised so all day with my MP3s, my absolute favorite feature!
- View all folders
- Creation of playlists (you can also import which)

Sound:
Is for my term in order, the signal is given to the plant and the sound is mainly measured by the quality of the plant. However, there are also the ZP90 equalizer functions.

(I also have the great ZonePlayer S5 in the operation, including the lone class)

Special features:
Quite often I use the free service Last.fm, which from the Internet Music for selection (?) Streaming. So you are an example - Rosenstolz - and he mixes music from "Rosenstolz and similar artists". Cool thing

Internet radio is also included.

The fee-based special services I have not tested, can be for many a interesting, because you can use the services Napster, Spotify, Wolfgang's Vault.

Compared with its competitors:
Compared to the competition the Sonos system has the first controller that really works, reacts - the system is easy!

Positives:
- It just funktoniert
- Great Controller function (he now NEN built Internet Browser, it would be awesome)
Easy to administer extensive music libraries -
- Super is the party mode, when you have more devices in use
- Connection Controller ZP has never let me down
- New CDs can be integrated easily, simply akutalisieren the music library.

Negatives:
- Once the controller no longer went to the store, the exchange lasted 1 week and I got a completely new controller of Sonos, since everything goes (actually the flaws management something to point Positive)
- It takes about 30 sec. until the controller has found the base station.

Neutral:
It should be noted, if you - like me - has the NAS in the basement run in standby, it will then take about 30 seconds until the NAS is ready for operation and the selected music can be streamed, possibly the SONOS can also mal ne bring error message can not be played; then just wait briefly.
But does not really belong to the SONOS, but is a problem NAS Antik!

Conclusion:
Long research on the Internet - firstonce tested a competing product - have been unhappy - returned - bitten the bullet (because of the price) - Sonos ordered - Satisfied.

So you could represent a nutshell it all. With the problems that partly the Konk.. Has (controller loses connection, connection slow etc.) simply makes only Sonos fun and is therefore well worth the money!
