Sonos is the first and only digital music system that lets you play all your digital music, all over your house - and control it all from the palm of your hand. Best of all, you don't need a PC in every room, a music server or a wireless network. Just a Sonos ZonePlayer and speakers in the rooms of your choice and a Sonos Controller in hand to access all your digital music, no matter where it's stored - on your PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage box.

The Sonos Controller is a wireless, handheld Controller with a 3.5 inch full-color VGA display and ultra-responsive touch screen. Pick it up or touch the screen and it's instantly on, ready to play your music.

You can quickly find and play all your music and control all your ZonePlayers with the touch of a finger. And dedicated Mute, Volume and Zones buttons get you to the functions you use most.

Controllers are not tied to a specific ZonePlayer, so you can use any Controller to control the music — and the volume — in every room of the house. The Controller provides instant access to your personal music library stored on your computer, plus thousands of Internet radio stations and the most popular online music services. And, it comes with a Charging Cradle so it's always ready to go and easy to find.

The Sonos Controller CR200 is a touch screen remote control for the Sonos Multi-Room Music System, a wireless music system.

It helps you create a stereo system without much work.” Read The Wall Street Journal Sonos review here.
