Sonus Adds Podcast Support to Home Digital Audio System

The Sonos Digital Music System comes pre-loaded with more than 100 Internet radio stations. Users can easily add more MP3 or WMA streaming stations by using the Sonos Desktop Controller for the Mac or the PC.

"Sonos' mission is to bring the joy of multi-room digital music to as many people as possible," said John MacFarlane, CEO, Sonos, Inc. "With the additional control and content features we have introduced, more digital music lovers, including Mac users and Internet radio fans, can get the most out of their Sonos system."

For digital music lovers with large music collections, Sonos has added a feature called "Power Scroll" which is unique to the Sonos Digital Music System. It gives Sonos users a shortcut for scrolling through large music libraries via a "scroll by letter" feature on their Sonos Controller. This allows users to easily navigate through their large music libraries to quickly find a specific artist, album or track name.

The latest Sonos update also provides a number of power user features, including:

• Increase in the system's library index capacity from 30,000 tracks to 40,000 tracks
• Support of volume normalization settings for iTunes (MP3, AAC files), Windows Media® Player (WMA, MP3 files) and FLAC encoders using ReplayGain
• Added ability to view tracks within playlists
• Support for additional sample rates, including: 48KHz, 32KHz, 24KHz, 22KHz, 16KHz, 11KHz, 8 KHz sample rate for both local files and Internet radio streams (44.1 KHz already supported)
• New user preference settings, including line-in level settings and adjustable backlighting
• Support for bitmap album art

Support for the new software feature update is available to all Sonos owners via their Sonos Controller.
