Sonos PLAY:5 All-in-One Wireless Music Player

SONOS IN GENERALI’ve been using Sonos since 2009, and it’s been flawless, an absolute joy. I’ve got instant, automatically-updated access to all of my iTunes Tracks, Artists, Playlists and Albums. Sonos also has an excellent implementation of Pandora, Rhapsody (and other music services) and Internet radio. It’s such a pleasure to hear them throughout the house and Patio, controlled by my iPhone, and with full broadband quality sound.The flexibility and ease of use are equally impressive. Each zone can play any independent track or other music choice, or be instantly grouped (synchronized) with any number of other zones. Even when zones are synchronized, it’s a snap to control (a) the volume of any individual zone within the group or (b) the volume of the entire group while automatically maintaining the relative levels you’ve previously set. The ability to simultaneously play different tracks in different rooms from a single iTunes library, attached to a single computer, is an impressive technological feat that can not be achieved with a standard Apple AirPlay device. (You can also play music from multiple libraries on one or more computers). Any or all of those zones can be beautifully controlled by a single iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, android or by any number of such controllers.I also have an Apple Airport Express linked to a sonos line-in, so that my friends can stream music to my sonos system, directly from their iPhones/iPads using Apple Airplay. That works well, but sometimes a streaming iPhone will loose its WiFi connection as you move about the house. (Of course, iPhone/Airplay WiFi streaming glitches are not sonos related problems. This is more of an illustration of how a WiFi based streaming system is likely to work in general.) Nonetheless, it’s great to have Airplay available for friends.My Sonos system has been absolutely flawless, with a consistent, intuitive interface, and my iPhone, with its Sonos controller app, is always right there in my pocket, ready to go.Setup for all of the Sonos zones has been a snap, and the system has been a total joy from day one.SONOS Play:5Sounds every bit as good as, or better than my Bose Sound Dock. Looks great. Sets up in seconds, and moves easily between rooms when needed. It can really be cranked up in volume without distortion. Perfect.One requirement to be aware of is that you’ll either …
