Sonos today announced the release of 2.1 which allows users to play their library of Windows Media DRM protected files. This brings the Sonos to pinnacle of being the premiere digital music player for the home and office. Users will now not only able to play non-protected MP3, AAC, and other common audio files but also play music from many download music sites such as AOL® Music Now, MTV Networks’ URGE, Napster™, Wal-Mart®, Yahoo! Music™ Unlimited, and the Zune Marketplace.

“We know from our customer surveys that Sonos users in more than 60 countries are listening to more music than ever,” said John MacFarlane, CEO of Sonos. “We are determined to make the entire universe of music available to our customers and today’s software release is a very big step towards this goal.”

Sonos late last year released 2.0 which allowed users to listen to Rhapsody® Online Music Service natively on the Sonos player without need to run a computer brought DRM protected music to a new chapter in digital music. With this release, Sonos is proving it is truly the authority in bringing your digital music library to your ears no matter where you are in your home.
