Sonos iPad Controller app

this is the new uh ipad app from sonos

which allows you to control

uh saunas music players

using ipad

phonos makes it really easy

to set up a multi-room sound system

here's one in the living room

there's another play in the kitchen

up

you can control them both together

so the app just came out today

it's really easy to set up onto your

ipad

let's turn the music down

there's a volume control

and uh you can control both players at

the same time or individually let's turn

up this

volume in the kitchen

um or turn them both up and down

together

so this is a really really slick app i'm

really impressed with it it's uh it's so

easy to use um you know there's no need

to to crack a manual you know you just

get going

everything's very very intuitive so you

can scrub through tracks

and pause skip

you know adjust the volume

on the left here you have uh the

different uh players as here's the

player in the kitchen and here's one in

the living room and you can play songs

uh the same songs to both players

or to individual players so you can have

music playing just the kitchen or just a

living room and of course you can

attach you know as many of these as you

want but at 500 bucks a pop you know it

can get pretty expensive pretty quickly

um here we have uh information about the

music that's playing and here's a

playlist a queue

of um of music and it's very easy to uh

cue music up into this you just um

drag and drop it

to the queue

and

you can set up um

you know as many

um you can even drag albums here

17 tracks uh just an airplane added to

that queue

uh the music library it's really well

integrated with itunes

uh it's um

imports artists albums composers and so

on and so forth also playlists so all

the players you already have in itunes

are already brought in here um here's

purchase music for example

so this is my purchase music playlist

and it's brought in from from itunes um

it has genius lists

well i didn't bring those in

uh and uh

you know one of the my favorite features

is the internet radio

so it knows my zip code

and here are my local radio stations

here in san francisco

and there's a pretty good selection

playing one is as easy as hitting it

play now

it's thinking

so here it comes

and uh

i'm from london so i like to listen to

uh music from my hometown

and here's a couple of favorites i added

bbc radio london

isn't that awesome

and um

it's also well integrated with online

music services under the music menu

button here

last fm napster pandora rhapsody and

sirius so if you have a satellite radio

subscription you can play it through the

ipad app here wolfgang's vault

and you can add more choices they just

signed a deal with um

spotify in london which hopefully has

come to the us sooner or later

uh but they also have moo coming soon

which is a similar service here in the

us

so this is a really slow cap i can't

believe it i'm really jazzed about this

the music is awesome

and it's connected it's actually

steering music from a network attack

storage drive where i have all my music

stored so this took two seconds to set

up and it is really slick i'm super

impressed
