Great system

After fiddling with the idea of a wired music system, and then abandoning it, followed by a short-lived experiment with the Roku Soundbridge, my client and I decided to go for the Sonos ZP system. It works perfectly. Sound reproduction at the wired player, as well as the wireless player downstairs is actually better than the sound through an iPod, thanks to the built in amplifier. The Roku Soundbridge, in comparison, actually sounds worse than the connected iPod, even when it is wired directly through Ethernet. Set up of the zone player system is easy, and smooth.

While expensive, this system is worth the extra money. Highly recommended.

Simply awesome!

For years I longed for an easy to setup, easy to use system that would allow me to listen to my music library in any room or in all rooms. A few years back I purchased the Olive Musica. While it is a nice system for archiving it did not allow the whole house music listening experience I really wanted. After reading several reviews for the Sonos system I decided to give it a try.

I purchased two ZP100, two ZP80 and two controllers. The entire setup, including loading the Sonos software on my iMac, connecting all players and updating the music library from iTunes to the Sonos Desktop Controller took less than 60 minutes!

The Sonos system is fantastic for playing the music you have stored on your HD. Additional features like Internet radio stations, Sirius/XM radio and Rhapsody are icing on an already sweet cake. We are currently building a home that will include an eight zone Sonos system with six ZP100 players.

The ZP100 player is the perfect solution for a room without an A/V receiver (dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, etc.) Just provide power and your own speakers, it really is that simple. The 50 watt amplifier provides ample power for nearly all users. If you really want to crank it up just make sure to use more sensitive speakers. Users looking for "concert level" volumes should probably select a ZP80 connected to a receiver.

Overall I have no complaints. The entire Sonos experience has been great!

Better design than Apple!!

Sonos is truly an amazing product. I wanted a system that could both stream music wirelessly to multiple rooms in perfect sync OR send different songs to different rooms. Sonos is the only product that does this.
I've now had it for two days, and it's just a mind-blowing product. In addition to playing music in perfect sync, there are just so many things about Sonos that is well thought out. Just an example - I have a large music library, and on my iPod I find it very annoying to scroll through the lists. Sonos answer? Well, the Sonos remote has the same type of scrolling wheel, but also a set of three buttons that are used differently depending on what you are doing. When you are scrolling lists, one button is used for "Power Scrolling", which let's you pick the first letter, and once selected you've now jumpted to that section. Simple, but brilliant.
Another great feature - the ability to re-arrange/add to your playlists using only the remote! Locate a song and select it, and Sonos wilk ask you it want to play it now, play next, or at the end of the playlist. Or, re-arrange a playlist in free-form - just select a song, use wheel to "move it, then "place" it somewhere else.
And let's talk about the music library features...all other system I've seen do their own indexing, which typically is not done to your personal preferenes in terms of categories/genres, etc. So does Sonos...but Sonos offers an additional way of viewing your library - the folder structure on your computer! That way, I can browse my music the way I'm most familiar with it.
Controlling volume, letting multiple players play in sync, is all very simple to do - whether from the remote or from the PC/Mac software.
The link to Internet radio stations is awesome - I particularly like the integration with Rhapsody..the fact could instantly see all my existing playlists was truly mindblowing.
Other cool features...the Alarm and Clock (seems to be set correctly via the internet). Updating the software for the units and the remote was a breeze - the remote tells you an update is available, then installs and you're done.
I could go on and on about the coolness of this product...the fact it also acts as a network switch, that each unit allows additional sound inputs (allowing you to for instance plug in an iPod and play throughout the house), the ability to create playlists with songs from both your computer and Rhapsody, the equalizer, the individual room volume controls, the subwoofer out, the simplicity to add more players/zones...
Simply an amazing product, both the hardware, software, and the overall design.

Thank you, Sonos!
