Apple iPad getting Sonos Controller app this August

Do you like controlling the music playing in the family room when you are still in the kitchen preparing dinner? You could already do that with a few other controllers, but now you can do the same with your shiny new Apple iPad.

That’s because the Sonos Controller app has been announced for the Apple iPad, giving you multi-room music control on a supersized screen. No longer do you need to squint at the smaller screen of your iPhone.

The whole Sonos media playing system is pretty impressive already, but with the larger display afforded by the iPad, you’ll have a much easier time navigating through your increasingly large music library. Check it out. You can sort by artist, album, and so on, as well as seen the album art off to the side.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that the iPad version of the Sonos Controller app won’t be ready for download through the App Store until late August. Sit tight. Sit tight.
