Sonos, 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.
