With Sonos I’ve always loved the ability to control rooms independently (my Sonos configuration consists of a pair of Play:5 speakers, a Bridge, and a Connect connected to a whole home audio system). Menus are well organized and music browsing is a breeze, be it a streaming service like Pandora, Spotify or the nifty new Beats, or a cloud locker like Amazon Player, or tracks served up old school style from a local hard drive. Album art is almost always front and center, and is now larger, with images filling almost the entire screen (nice!).
#Sonos for windows 8 update
With the update everything I appreciated about Sonos is still there, and, in some cases, made even better. Sonos did Yeoman’s work with the original layout and look. Not that I ever felt the old interface was an ugly duckling by any means.
#Sonos for windows 8 android
I gave the beta Sonos Android app (Version 5.0) a spin on my Nexus 5 and came away impressed. The whole home audio company’s new Android app is currently available in beta (registered users can download the beta from the Sonos web site) and sports a completely revamped, modern look: So it’s only natural that design-savvy Sonos would want to join the minimalist party. Look at Gmail and you’ll see a clean, white-dominant design with not a heavy-handed effect in sight (unless you opt for one of the busy wallpapers). Google too has been riding that bus for quite some time. Gone were three-dimensional effects, bevels and skeuomorphic elements. Microsoft, with Windows 8, and then Apple, last year with iOS 7, led the charge towards designs that were flatter, simpler, and cleaner.
