Cratto vs ZoneFoundry for Sonos

Collect vinyl with Cratto, dig into new music on the Taste Map, and rediscover the records you love. Catalog records and CDs, sort them into crates, and listen on Apple Music, on iPhone and iPad. 1. Your Vinyl Collection, Cataloged Keep a pocket-sized catalog of your records, with artwork, artists, tracklists, and release details, and note the media and sleeve condition of each copy using Discogs grading. At shops and fairs, check what you own before you buy it twice. 2. Dig Through the Taste Map Over 1,200 music genres form a turning globe, and the genres your records belong to light up. Tap a genre to see where it came from and what it influenced, then dig into its must-hear albums by decade: play them on Apple Music, collect them, or add them to your want list. Your own records join the lists, and on day one you can collect a few genres' must-hear albums in one tap. Share it as an image or a turning-globe video. 3. Bring Your Collection In Import your Discogs collection and want list, with condition grades, or add the albums in your Apple Music library as digital albums. Pick what to import; records already in Cratto are skipped. 4. Your CDs, Too CDs from Discogs or a barcode scan get their own CD tab beside Vinyl, each shown in its jewel case. Play a CD from Today's Pick, and a disc slides out of its sleeve. 5. Find Records with a Scan Scan a barcode or a catalog number to find the exact release on Discogs, with less typing. 6. Organize Your Way Crates appear automatically from your collection's genres, or create your own, add records, and arrange their order. Give each crate a finish: acrylic, walnut, aluminum, or wood and acrylic. 7. Keep a Want List Save records you're interested in, apart from the ones you own: a friend's tip or an edition you're still hunting for. 8. Listen with Apple Music Play the matching album on Apple Music as you browse. Revisit your collection away from the turntable, or hear an album before you hunt for a copy. You can also collect digital albums. 9. Rediscover What You Own Let Today's Pick and Shuffle choose your next listen: an old favorite or an album you haven't played in a while. On iPhone, add the Today's Pick widget to your Home Screen. 10. Make Artwork Part of the Experience Cratto Gold Record unlocks premium players inspired by vinyl, CDs, and album art: a record spinning under a tonearm, an aluminum CD player with the album printed on its spinning disc, and a player built around the cover. Choose classic black, colored or picture-disc vinyl drawn from the album's artwork, and a printed or silver CD. 11. Sync Across iPhone and iPad With Cratto Gold Record, turn on Library Sync to keep your collection, want list, condition grades, and crates up to date across your devices through your own iCloud account. Sync is off until you turn it on. 12. At Home on iPad On iPad, Cratto spreads out with a sidebar, players designed for the larger screen, and keyboard shortcuts for playback. 13. Share Your Favorite Records Create a poster with a record's artwork and details, with a release code friends can scan with Cratto to find the same release. Or turn your collection's covers into a cover collage, each labeled with its title and artist. 14. Your Collection Stays Yours Your collection is stored on your device and, if you turn on Library Sync, in your own iCloud. There's no Cratto account and no Cratto server.

ZoneFoundry is a controller for the Sonos speakers you already own. Open it on the same Wi-Fi and it works — no sign-up. ONE SEARCH BOX, EVERY SERVICE Apple Music, Spotify, QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music — no more switching apps. Results are grouped by service; tap "Artists" to jump to an artist, "Songs" for tracks only. SEE EVERY ROOM AT ONCE What's playing in the living room, bedroom, kitchen and patio — and each room's volume — all on the home screen. Group rooms to play together with one tap, and undo with one tap. JUST SAY IT "Play five Fleetwood Mac songs in the living room." "Turn the kitchen down." "Play three tech news stories." English, Cantonese and Mandarin all work, and you don't need to memorise a command format. You can type instead if you prefer. BROADCAST TO THE WHOLE HOUSE "Dinner's ready" — sent to any room or every room, with English, Mandarin and Cantonese text-to-speech. LOCK SCREEN, HOME SCREEN AND DYNAMIC ISLAND Home Screen widgets come in small, medium and large — see what's playing and pause or skip without opening the app. Lock Screen widgets too. Every room that's playing also gets its own Live Activity: three rooms, three cards, with artwork and progress in the Dynamic Island. ONE TAP FROM CONTROL CENTRE Add ZoneFoundry's controls and you get: voice request, play the news, stop everything, run a scene, 30-minute sleep timer, and stop a broadcast that's playing. No need to open the app. SHORTCUTS AND SIRI "Play music in the living room with ZoneFoundry" — in English, Cantonese or Mandarin. Drop playback, broadcasts and scenes into your own Shortcuts and run them from any automation. INSIDE APPLE HOME (requires the ZoneFoundry Bridge) With the optional ZoneFoundry Bridge installed, each Sonos room can appear in the Home app as a light bulb: on = playing, brightness = volume. Use it in scenes and automations. LET AI CONTROL YOUR SONOS Connect Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Hermes — or any MCP-capable assistant — and ask it to queue music, broadcast, run a scene or set a reminder. Add the connector in your assistant, then enter the 6-digit code in ZoneFoundry's Settings → AI access — no key, no bridge. CONTROL IT FROM A CHAT Link ZoneFoundry to Telegram, WeChat or QQ and control your speakers from a chat message — even when you're not home. YOUR MORNING BRIEFING, OUT LOUD Pick the topics and ZoneFoundry reads the news out loud in the room you choose, in English, Mandarin or Cantonese. Put it on a schedule and it just happens. MUSIC THAT FOLLOWS YOU Pair a room with a HomeKit motion sensor: walk into the kitchen and the music comes with you; leave and it drops out. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Core control only needs your iPhone and speakers on the same Wi-Fi. An account is only for remote control and syncing across devices. Requires at least one Sonos speaker on the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone.
