Having less faith in Sonos, after upgrade bricked units, apple airplay preference in upgrade leading to disasters for others. S1 / S2 terror.

 Sonos in need of income, so the income from intune being base for Sonos Radio, leads to radio programmes being broardcast add free from national stations with own add on, are chopped up, broken disturbed on purpose.

Result: you find the national program via intune and voila, Sonos are back in add income.

Remark, system has worked perfect for years, all but for Sonos software downgrades, are unchanged.

I as customer are deeply disapointed., am I the only one seeing the plot.

Rgds Per Høeg.

Maybe things work differently in Denmark. However, in the US one has to pay for add free streaming in some instances. Therefore, I’m not understanding your complaint.

I believe the complaint is that TuneIn is adding ads to free radio streams that are ad free. 
 

​@Hoeg you can try using MyTuner Radio instead of TuneIn or Sonos radio or follow these instructions

OK…so how is that a Sonos issue?

    I’m noticing that TuneIn inserts an add or two or three prior to presenting the stream that I’ve selected.

      I’ll give you three guesses.

      What are you on about? Bricked units? Apple AirPlay preference? What terror?

      Sonos does it receive income from TuneIn, but TuneIn does need to get paid for their work - either by you paying for a subscription or for you listening to a couple of ads.

      Where does Sonos Radio get their broadcast stations from? Not the Sonos HD stations but the others.

      Sorry, meant to type “Sonos does not receive income from TuneIn”. To be exact I’d add “When you are playing from TuneIn directly”. Not sure about the streams Sonos Radio might get from TuneIn (I seem to remember they do, not a Sonos Radio user myself), though then the Sam argument applies: if you do work you want to get paid, one way or the other.
