Believe you me Donna, you are not the only one who's majorly impressed! May
I add that their staff on the phone support line are, um, to say phenomenal!
would be a downright insult to them! That is the mildest understatement of
the melinium! They are fan, freaking tastic! Very very few
companies/developers have cared so much about accessibility, and their
customers. I've tweeted them on Twitter,
@Sonos
by the way,
and literally each time, I'd say within an hour, provided it's business
hours, I have a response. This is quite consistent of a turnaround.
It's a shame that their OSX version of the controller app isn't the most
Voiceover friendly. I mean, it can be done, don't get me wrong here, but
there are lots of unlabeled buttons, some of which you manually can figure
out with help tags, but not all of them are such. Some don't have tags.
Now, like Donna said though, if you're thinking about trying this speaker
system, I can tell you this.
The Windows version with both JAWS, and NVDA is incredible! The iOS version
also is rock solid as can be, and the Android version, well, items within a
list, like when you're browsing your library will tell you that they are
checkbox items, checked or unchecked, which isn't really true, so they're
not exactly classed correctly in Android, but! that said, they definitely do
read, and with Talkback it's 100% doable. Maybe a little weird how things
are read, but definitely very manageable.
Stay tuned though, as far as the OSX version is concerned with
accessibility. As a private beta tester of their controller apps on all
platforms, I can't really say anything more due to NDA, but we'll just say
that some things are in the works that I think'll blow you guys away once
released. Really that's all I'm at liberty to say though, but yes. Plus1
all the way, I concur with Donna completely here, and if you've never heard
the sound of these speakers, even for the littlest model, the Play1, oh? My?
God! Holy! freaking? catfish! I'm an audio engineer, so you know me... I
gotta have very very good quality sounding speakers/monitors. These
speakers have absolutely taken my breath away!
They're not exactly cheap, I'll admit that, but for what you get quality
wise? Plus, the accessibility right out of the box, plus the level of
excellent tech support/customer care you get? If you have the money to
spare for at the very least, a Play1, you'd be crazy then not to try it!

Subject: Re: using Sonos with multiple controllers?
Hi Chris,
That's my next step. But since I know there are several people on this list
who use that system, I thought I'd ask here first.
By the way, in case others are interested, I've been thoroughly impressed by
how accessible the Sonos app is.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi all,
Happily, I was able to solve the problem I was having last night. It
seems that the problem was on my phone. For some reason it thought those
songs were downloaded, but when I went to play them from the music app,
Voiceover said downloading, and gave me the download progress. After
that, I was able to play those songs in Sonos. Not sure what would cause
this, but at least the problem is solved.
But now I have another question. I want to be able to control Sonos with
both my phone and my iPod. I did the initial setup from my phone, and
now when I use my iPod as the controller, it doesn't seem to see the
music that is stored there. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell it
to play the music on whichever device I'm using as the current
controller?
TIA,
Donna
