• Lifechanger: Happiness Is a Loaded Sonos

Magic is a singing home.

But piping music all over a house has always been unreasonably hard. Or just primitive.

Over the last 10 years, I liked music, but it was an inconvenience. I had to drape wires through holes we we knocked, drilled or cut in drywall, or have a stereo in every room. Or I had to play my music really, really loud or walk around with headphones on. In recent years, wireless networks and computers and digital files, have let me stream some music to a TV or radio in a really basic hacked together way. But I did not have the ability to play any song, in any room, at any time, with high fidelity, until I installed a Sonos system in my house. I’m talking about Beethoven in the den and Ramones in the kitchen, or every place playing the Beatles, controllable from anywhere, controlled from a smartphone. This week, Apple launched Airplay, which has great potential to fix this for video and audio. But it’s still just a system in its infancy, with not much in the way of hardware. Sonos is working for me today, and all the pieces work pretty much perfectly… [Gizmodo]
