Hi, I don’t post here often and hope this isn’t too much of a stretch but since it can be controlled by one’s pc should one wish perhaps it’ll be considered on topic. Either way I’ll keep it brief. When Sonos the manufacturer of a popular line of wireless music system announced that they’d be releasing a new version of their play:5 speaker including a touch panel there was some chatter on various lists and social media of blind people expressing concern regarding the accessibility of this platform going forward. I’m happy to report that every aspect of their commitment to universal design and accessibility seems to be in tact. Setting up the new play:5’s is just as easy as it ever had been before and even the touch panel on the top of the unit can be found, interacted upon to mute or pause audio and change volume settings with no tactile markings necessary. the unit emits mild unobtrusive tones to alert you that an action has taken place and which direction you might be swiping the volume controls. I’m very impressed and am pleased that my faith in their commitment has been aptly rewarded. I’m glad to have supported them with the power of my purchasing dollars once again. Happy listening one and all. Robin
