Beginners use of Sonos App. I’m sure there is a simple guide to the Sonos app. for OIS? I get lost very easily; can’t ‘re-find’ topics…! What’s the best, simplest place to start learning about the Sonos App.? Then, I guess, there must be a simple overview article somewhere with setup/management instructions that cover everything (without getting bogged down)?
Question
Sonos App
Thanks Bruce. Exactly what i was looking for 😊.
Sonos has an amazing number of resources, from FAQs to .pdfs…the trouble is, at least in my experience, the web site’s search functionality is sometimes troubled. It is why I frequently post links to content I’m aware of, and use Google to search for things I don’t have ‘saved’ away.
Most search engines offer an option to only search a limited area of the Internet, really handy to avoid a lot of very bad information on Sonos or many other topics.
So using this:
controller site:sonos.com
Gives you this search:
Including all the sonos.com sub-domains like the forums and support.
Add in the ability, lacking in the forum, to search by date and you can also skip the 5 year old and out of date stuff.
While I have little trust in AI (it doesn’t yet differentiate between ‘correct’ data and ‘incorrect’ data regurgitation), I tend to not restrict my searches to Sonos only. Sometimes there is information elsewhere that can be useful, sometimes not. But I prefer the option to make the decision. And I’m lazy, to boot (see many of my canned responses), so typing the extra that
I have hopes that someday AI will be able to figure out that all data posted on the internet is not necessarily correct. It is, often, but can be incorrect as well.
It just isn't that AI is misled by misinformation, that is bad enough, but than many AI systems will create an answer with no basis. Basically a digital hallucination that can be very convincing if you don't know the true answer.
