Sorry, I forgot about your own library. Yes, Sonos has access to it but of 
course your PC has to be on. Ideal is a network attached hard drive because any 
music you have on it and where you point Sonos to that network share is always 
available whether the computer is on or not.

Hi Katie,

Are you subscribed to Apple Music? If so, then Sonos does support it. I think 
you really get the full benefit of the Sonos system if you do subscribe either 
to Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer or one of the other major music services. For 
many of us who have iOS Devices and maybe an Apple TV I think Apple Music is 
the service which makes the most sense.

RE: Voice Over accessibility for Sonos

2016-09-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
I can only add my praise to Sonos, I bought my first Sonos players in 2009 and 
they are still going strong. In those first years you could use most of the 
Sonos features with Voiceover, but the app definitely needed improvement, there 
were unlabelled buttons and so on. I was quite active in 2010 and 2011 along 
with Neil Barnfather to get Sonos to realize that accessibility should be a 
priority with an app for equipment which was of great interest to the visually 
impaired. Fortunately after a couple of years of not getting very far Sonos 
apparently had a change of heart and ever since I think 2012 or 2013 at the 
latest all versions of the Sonos app have been wonderfully accessible. In the 
beginning TruePlay tuning was not working with Voiceover, but they have also 
fixed that and it works fine now. All I can say is go for it, you won't regret 
it and you won't regret spending the money on Jonathan's book, either, 
especially as a new Sonos user..

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Voice Over accessibility for Sonos

2016-09-27 Thread Robin Frost 
Hi,
I’ll put my answers below your questions with a * before them so you’ll know 
which is which.
Hello all,  I am considering sonos as a way of sending music to various zones 
in my house.  I know sonos has been discussed here in the past but haven’t
really followed that thred.  Wondering if you could answer a few basic 
questions for me:

1)  How accessible is the sonos app?
*Extremely so there are few better in terms of accessibility.
2)  Has the company sonos been responsive to address accessibility issues?
*Yes their phone staff and twitter support staff are both well aware of Screen 
Readers, VoiceOver and the like; and they have at least a few blind people 
participating in their beta test programs too.


3)  When you stream audio using sonos does voice over remain on your phone?
*Yes perhaps the best way to understand this is by thinking of the phone as a 
remote. It merely tells Sonos what to do and even when streaming from the music 
on your phone it merely views it as a source for material just as it would a 
network drive or a music library on your computer’s hard drive. VoiceOver is 
not impacted.
(The only caveat I’d mention is when first installing the app on an iDevice be 
sure to navigate to settings and turn off “hardware volume control.) While this 
is a neat idea in principle it’s been my experience that its impact on changing 
VoiceOver’s volume doesn’t make it worth having at this point for us.  I wish 
the app could turn it off by default if it detects VoiceOver running.

4)  Anything else I might want to keep in mind before taking this step?
*No don’t think so and should you do so their return policy seems quite 
friendly so if you aren’t satisfied nothing is lost. But I do hope you like as 
much as other users such as myself do.
Happy listening.
Robin
