◆◆◆ a new intuitiv and elegant user interface ◆◆◆
- SonoPad focusses on the main tasks in its user interface, making it less cluttered and easier to find your way around

- drag and drop zone management
- a classic dark theme
- volume + progress popups: when changing volume or progress of a song, you get popups telling you the actual values. Stop guessing your desired values today!

◆◆◆ integrated browser for fast information retrieval ◆◆◆
- SonoPad knows what you are playing, the web knows even more
- pregenerated links and searches based on your playlist: you are just a tap away from Wikipedia, Lyrics search, Tourdates Search, Last.FM, YouTube, AllMusic, MusicBrainz and many more.
◆◆◆ less taps for common tasks ◆◆◆
SonoPad tries to optimize most often used tasks to have the least taps needed. In the end you are able to navigate and control your players much more fluently.
- Touch To Play: are you sick of always beeing asked what to do when you tap a track or album? SonoPads default is to just start to play. A long press still gives you access to all options - you can also change the tap default on the settings screen. Want to build a playlist fast? Just set the default to 'always add to end' and off you go ...
- tap an album cover image and the whole album starts to play immediately
- aggregated search: search results are collapsed into one view, so you see immediately in what category you have the best results, without switching back and forth
- shortcuts to most used functions: on the bottom bar you have shortcut buttons for artist, albums, radio and musicservices. The Radios menu is rearranged so you are only two taps away from your radio favorites from any place.
- you can control the volume of every player directly from the players popup. No need to switch players anymore.
◆◆◆ Limitations ◆◆◆
- all music services except YouTube Music are supported
- No portrait mode on the main screen
- No playing of music stored on iPad
- No support for administrative features (adding/removing players, music service, ...). You need the official Apps for initial setup of your system, SonoPad will pick up all changes automatically.
- No options to set alarms or sleep settings
- No support for discontinued WD100 dock
◆◆◆ Other stuff ◆◆◆
- you can start SonoPad with the 'sonopad://' URL from other remote Apps. Its also possible to hand over a return URL and a default player to be selected. Read more about it on my blog!
- SonoPad shows artist names when browsing compilations

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Thanks a lot for your feedback and bug reports. This version resolves several minor issues:
- on a fresh install it sometimes took 'ages' (ok - maybe a minutes or an app restart) to detect your Sonos boxes. This was due the initial lacking network access rights. Now the app searches right away when it detects that you have given local network access rights, making the first time start much smoother for new users
- there was a bug for Deezer where the "Deezer Flow" and some similar programs didn't start
- switching to TV wasn't visible on Beam 2nd generation and Sonos Port
- in rare situation, the Sonos players could not send their status updates to SonoPhone
As always: If anything is not working as you expect don't hesitate to contact support@sonopad.com
