I guess you have not visited any communities for a while.

Support for the desktop apps have been discontinued and the web app is now used: play.sonos.com

While its not as functional as the desktop app, it does a great job playing music and grouping speakers.

I do wish Sonos would add more security to the could based app with TFA

Never noticed that the S1 desktop controller isn't available here:

https://support.sonos.com/en-us/downloads

Maybe a call to Sonos support to see if there are options?

No options and my music library is gone making SONOS glorified wi-fi radios

That must be a recent removal, because they were there not long ago. You can still use the mobile Sonos S1 controller on iOS, Android and FireOS.

Did you possibly keep a copy of your last download, or maybe catch it in a backup?

I believe there is a problem with the website because if you navigate to support and then apps, you receive a 404 error - tested in Canada English and French.  Definitely something going on.

 

Thanks

Yea… unfortunately, a lot of troubleshooting is not possible from the mobile app or web app and let`s not talk about the Music Library ...

We’re talking about S1, correct? The web app doesn’t work with S1. The S1 mobile apps work fine, as does using a local Music Library. I moved all my music playing sonos gear back to S1 last September. I only use S2 for home theater and one pair of Ones that I use for testing S2 progress (or lack thereof).

Go to the app store and search for “Phonos Ultimate”. Native Intel and Apple Silicon, supports S1 and S2.

Wow, the S1 Desktop apps have been deleted from https://support.sonos.com/en-us/downloads - RIP.
