As if my penchant for buying Apple products wasn't expensive enough. Just not in the stars for me any time soon.
Does this mean we will be able to airplay to Sonos speakers soon?
It looks like a really cool system, but the lack of Airplay support ruins it for me.
Not sure why that would be. Just about every streaming service in existence is on Sonos now and will play any music saved to your phone or iPad in addition to playing back any library if music on your home network including NAS drives, laptops, desktops, etc. There is pretty much nothing that Sonos won't play back so the AirPlay functionality really isn't an issue at all.Does this mean we will be able to airplay to Sonos speakers soon?

To add to what HobeSoundDarryl said, using a bluetooth speaker has 2 very important limitations that do not exist with Sonos:I don't understand why you wouldn't just connect by Bluetooth with iPHone and launch the Apple Music app.
Just spit balling here, but I bet they assume like I do that most people with Apple TVs have iPhones.. Which can seamlessly push its content onto the TV.Yet Apple can't be bothered to put it on the 3rd gen Apple TV.
Sonos have their own propriety system; it doesn't use Bluetooth, or anything like Airplay.
Bluetooth aptX is as good as any high bandwidth wifi streaming. Apple seem to be one of the only ones stuck using outdated Bluetooth in their devices, unfortunately.
Good for you! Sonos is one of the most popular speaker systems out there. So, actually, a lot of people care. If you don't, you don't have to comment.Without even reading any of your comments, who really cares about Sonos? I sure don't.

What is Sonos exactly? Can't I just use any speaker to listen to my music or use headphones instead? What is so special about it?

Just sayin'
Even if that could work, not every buyer is single living alone. iPhones are highly mobile devices. If we rely on them for something like this or as THE remote forTV or as THE game controller or as THE __________ and the iPhone owner takes it out with them- as they are inclined to do probably every single day- those left behind could NOT listen to music or watch
TV or play the game or run the _________. Companies make products to work for situations other than "single living alone" and they also don't assume that every single person has an iPhone. And that's good... because there's an awful lot of families and other non-single cohabitants that appreciate stuff that can "just work" without dependency on very mobile devices that often are NOT at home.
Been on the beta and had very few issues. The only issue I had at the start of the beta was the radio stations would stop playing and you'd have to close the sonos app and restart to get them working again.
How do we get off the beta to the public release?
