Hi Alan and Robin, Thanks for the kind words, but Neil Barnfather also should be mentioned here, probvably more so than me when it comes to implementing accessibility. Yes, in some way I hope my persistent correspondence with Sonos had a bit of influence in getting them to make a commitment towards accessibility, but Neil I think had dealings with people that were higher up on the corporate ladder. I have been a Sonos user for 5 years and I definitely have been a pain in the somewhere at times and I also did Beta test for them, but it's also because of all the other blind users and I think by now there are many that they realized they really had to support accessibility.
I think Sonos is far from done innovating and I look forward to what they come up with next. I have a rather high-end Sony receiver which sounds awesome when it's hooked up to a good set of speakers, but I'm almost at a point where I might end up selling it so I can get a Playbar along with a Sonos Sub and a few Play 3 or Play 5 players for rear speakers. My receiver is not that old, but unfortunately I bought it a couple of years before many receivers came out with network connectivity and apps to control them so apart from turning it on, switching sources and turning the volume up and down it's rather inaccessible and once you get used to products like Sonos and the Apple TV you get spoiled in the accessibility department.

Hi, I completely concur with all you've said knowledgeable and kind is he. If he had something to do with the accessibility of that app being enhanced I am deeply grateful as I've had much fun with this system.

Hi Robin; You could thank our friend Sieghard. The Sonos people worked very closely with him. I would have to say that Sieghard is one of the most knowledgable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
