Sonos has rolled out a new update to their iOS application today that has brought with it support for iOS devices loaded with version iOS 6 and higher to stream audio directly to the Sonos speaker range.
Rather than using Apple’s Airplay feature, Sonos has created their own direct device-to-speaker solution for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users across any installed proprietary SonosNet audio network.
Enhanced Music Control and Streaming
The new update significantly enhances the way users can control and stream their music. With this update, users can manage their iTunes library, access the best online music services, shows, and podcasts, and tune into hundreds of thousands of radio stations from around the world. This can all be streamed through every room in your home, providing a seamless and immersive audio experience.
One of the standout features of this update is the ability to play a different song in every room or synchronize the same song across multiple rooms. This flexibility allows users to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion, whether it’s a quiet evening at home or a lively party. Additionally, the individual volume of each player can be adjusted, giving users complete control over their audio environment.
Intuitive User Interface
The Sonos iOS application update also brings an intuitive user interface that leverages the touch screen capabilities of iPhones. Users can easily pick a room, select a song with a simple flick, and hit play. The process of linking and unlinking zones to play different songs in different rooms or the same song in every room is straightforward and user-friendly, ensuring perfect synchronization.
This update is particularly beneficial for users who have multiple Sonos speakers installed throughout their homes. The ability to control all of your music from a single device simplifies the user experience and makes it more convenient to enjoy high-quality audio in every room.
“Control all of your music, in every room, from your iPhone.

Use the touch screen on your iPhone to pick a room, point and flick to pick a song, then hit play. Simply link and unlink zones to play different songs in different rooms or the same song in every room — perfect synchronization.”
This update not only enhances the functionality of the Sonos system but also demonstrates Sonos’s commitment to providing a superior user experience. By developing their own direct device-to-speaker solution, Sonos has ensured that users can enjoy high-quality audio streaming without relying on third-party technologies like Apple’s Airplay.
