Yep very helpful, I did know that the Sonos IOS Apps for example did seem to be accessible. I saw a review of the Sonos Play:1 earlier today and the reviewer seemed impressed by the sound of this Sonos speaker given its price and its small size, my only disappointment is that the Play:1 will

I think the bridge only acts to create the peer to peer network that services the other Sonos units. I think you need a separate receiver that is dedicated to hooking up to your own equipment. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane
