I recently finished setting up my Sonos System (Stereo paired Play 5s with Sub). Although it took some fiddling to get it to work without any network conflicts I am very pleased with the sound quality being emitted by this system and it now works without interruptions
However; here is where I have some issues.
I use an Android device as the Controller (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2) and the Sonos Controller App for Android leaves some things to be desired. The Radio streaming works perfectly and I have no issues with. But when it comes to using the library for "This Mobile Device" several things bother me:
1. There is no search function for "This Mobile Device"
2. There is no Alphabetical scroll function on the right side.
3. I can't drag an entire album into the Queue to play from "This Mobile Device".
This could be considered to be put in the suggestions section, although I would like to see these features on the official app in the near future, this is not the only purpose for me opening this thread. I'm sure there are reasons why the Android App is still not on par with it's Apple equivalent I am not aware of.
I am looking for suggestions to solve this problem in a form of a 3rd party app. I have already searched for alternatives but its hard to find additional information on the features of these apps other than what is listed in Google play. Often enough these apps don't even have a dedicated homepage or receive mixed reviews. Therefore I am asking for help from the Sonos community. I am basically looking for an App that allows me to use the on board Music player, a 3rd party Music player, or the Sonos Controller of my Android device to stream directly to my Sonos system with quick browsing capabilities. It would nice being able to find an Album or Artist with ease and dragging it into the Queue and hitting the play button.
