Audible ?

Sonos announced earlier that it would be complete by late 2016. Then ammended it to summer 2017.

Well I'm still sticking with Jan-Feb 2018.

It is my understanding that it was Audible that broke the support and it required Audible to get on the ball working with Sonos to fix.

Audible updated their service to work on more things 2 years ago. That is eons in consumer tech world. Since then Google came up with the assistant. Amazon came up with several new echo’s. Have you asked yourself who else is having a problem with Audible? Apple? Android? Anybody? Then ask yourself why Sonos said Oct 2016. Then spring 2017. Then summer 2017. And now it is 2018. I’m done here. Have fun.

I don’t use audible and don’t particularly care about its status on other devices. I just know it is returning to Sonos after long absence any day now.

Hey Chris,

What makes you think it's just a matter of days? Or January-February 2018?

My return window closes during that January-
February time frame, and, given the record from 2016 to now on the Audible front, I'm inclined to return my Sonos One and wait until this is resolved before considering re-buying it, if I haven't simply gone with a Bluetooth speaker plus Echo Dot approach.

As I was just researching casually this past weekend...some Bluetooth speakers can maintained connection w more than one source (though maybe not simultaneously actively...), so even Sonos' projected multi-smart-assistant promise might be approachable with just adding a Google Home Mini or whatever if I feel like it...

I'm taking it from Sonos hints, marketing, expectation of a firmware update this month for multiple things (Audible included). I have actually been saying I would expect an update tomorrow (Tuesday) - sonos tends to like Tuesdays. But if not this Tuesday then I would expect next Tuesday so we get update in January.

Ooh, fingers crossed, then. January will still be solidly within my return window.

I was sad that the update yesterday didn't bring the Audible functionality. I really expected this to be in the Sonos One, as the link with Amazon services is so engrained that for it not to have it is so counter-intuitive.

Yea bummer it hasn't made it yet. It's been a long time coming. I think there is still hope for early February and I hope my predictions come true.

I still have a Sonos One I bought to test out the system a back around Thanksgiving - and my one-star review is still on Amazon. I was hoping the issue would be fixed by now, as it is about time to upgrade (nine more speakers). Speakers that will not play content I have paid for are unacceptable and useless to me.
