Sonos Now AirPlay Compatible
If you have a Sonos system and use a AirPort Express there is a free software that will enable multi-room streaming to the Sonos via AirPlay. To get it to working you plug the Airport Express in the ZonePlay’s line-in port and then can use Airplay to play music in sync around your home, Sonos call it party mode and it will be a great addition to the Sonos functionality . There is also an update for the iOS app that adds multi-tasking and the Android app I looked at last week is now available (see this video I recorded for a demo of the Android app)
