I'm really looking forward to Vox support in Sonos. I'd sign up for Loop in a heartbeat once that integration comes out. Do you guys have this on your backlog or a timeline for such an integration?
Loop & Sonos
Sarah, we are of course looking for such possibility, but looks like Sonos platform is not open to third-party apps.
Do You know of such an app that supports Sonos, not from Sonos?

There are all sorts of music services that work with Sonos: Spotify, Rdio, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, SoundCloud, Songza, iHeatRadio, Pandora, Slacker - to name a few. Perhaps the closest to loop are the Amazon and Google offerings which also allow you to store your music in the cloud.
It seems like it would be worth someone from your product team getting in touch with someone at Sonos to see what it would take to make Vox Loop a supported service.
Sarah, thank You for Your educated answer. Will see what can be done regarding Sonos support...

I have to echo Sarah, here. I've already abandoned iTunes for Vox, but the Sonos player for iPhone etc is not great. Having Vox either partner or play direct (hell, just license the apps to them!) would be a great way of cementing this connection.
The speakers are amazing, but their software is lacklustre. If you can't integrate, I'd suggest speaking to them about partnering. =]
Sara is talking about Vox supporting (playing to) Sonos. Loop as cloud service potentially supported by Sonos (as Google Play Music or SoundCloud) in another thing. Both are in rough plans currently.
Sonos unfortunately is not very open-minded to third -party apps, besides music services mentioned; all devs who made apps supporting it had to reverse-engineer their protocols. Happily, these are more or less standard.
Main problem is Sonos supports much fewer file formats than Vox does, and Loop is in Vox currently. So we are working on a way to play to Sonos system everything Vox/Loop plays/supports.
Those of You who have Sonos system and want to beta test version of Vox with Sonos devices enabled - welcome. Drop a "I want to test Vox+Sonos" line here: vox-dev@coppertino.com.
