Sonos (http://www.sonos.com), a developer of wireless multi-room
music systems for the home, has introduced the Sonos Controller for
iPhone as a free download on the Apple App Store. Music lovers with
an iPhone 3G, iPhone or iPod touch can now control the Sonos
Multi-Room Music System from one of these devices.
With Sonos ZonePlayers connected wirelessly in the rooms of your
choice and a Sonos Controller for iPhone or iPod touch in hand, you
can find and play the music you want by simply picking a room,
picking a song and hitting play. You can play the same song in every
room in synchronization, or play different songs in every room.
The Sonos user experience allows you to quickly link and unlink
rooms, without interrupting music playback. You can select, play,
pause, and skip music in any room. You can search for your favorite
artists and songs by typing on the touch screen. You can browse your
collection by pointing and flicking and change the volume in a single
room, or in all your rooms at once, all from the Sonos Controller for
iPhone.
The Sonos Controller for iPhone offers direct access to a world of
music including Last.fm, Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody, SIRIUS Internet
Radio, 15,000 plus radio stations, shows and more. Plus, the Sonos
Controller for iPhone gives music lovers control over their entire
music collection located on any computer on their home network, a
Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive and even an Apple Time Capsule.
Sonos doesn’t require you to have your computer on or a piece of
server software on the network to play music all over the home.
The Sonos Controller for iPhone requires an iPhone or iPod touch and
at least one Sonos ZonePlayer to operate. The Sonos Controller for
iPhone utilizes your existing home WiFi network to communicate to the
Sonos Multi-Room Music System. iPhone, iPod touch, and Sonos
ZonePlayers are sold separately. The Sonos Controller for iPhone is
currently available in English only. Additional requirements include
Sonos 2.7 System Software and iPhone 2.0 Software. The Sonos
Controller for iPhone is compatible with all generations of Sonos
hardware.
In conjunction with the new Sonos Controller for iPhone, Sonos
introduced Sonos Software 2.7. The new feature update is free to all
Sonos customers.
