Hi bigboss, does the 920 play WMA Lossless?

Yes it does.

FLAC?

No FLAC. Supported audio formats are: MP3, AAC, eAAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, WMA lossless, WAV, M4A (Apple lossless), MP4, AMR, 3GP

Not even with a 3rd party app?

A quick search on Windows store brings up Subsonic music streamer which claims to support all popular formats including FLAC. I'm sure there will be more.

Is that a streamer or a local player though, I only use it in the car, usually. Something like PowerAmp.

Based on the description, it's also a local player.

RE: My Lumia 920 has arrived!!

Is there a Sonos app yet?  The missus had a Nokia Lumia 800 (which was really awful to use), and it only had a third party "Phonos" app for £8 which was quite shoddy.

She hated the phone and switched it for a Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini, which she loves.

Not a big fan of the older Windows platform, hopefully the more customisable tiles work better now.

There's SonPhon for £1.49, and Sonata Lite for free, with promise of an upgraded (paid) version soon. Phonos has dropped in price to £3.99.

Official Sonos app for Windows isn't out yet. Rumoured to come later this year.
