Just a little light hearted banter
cr200 What a great piece of kit. Why's it not on the list of items I own. Surely it should be in the hall of fame. I'll miss this when it finally gives up the ghost 
or Sonos finally pull the plug on it. As I'm sure they will.
I agree - and I hope that Sonos keep it supported for as long as possible.
But, having said that… I now control my system from two Lenovo 10” Android tablets. You get about 10 times the screen area and everything is a lot bigger and easier to read than on a CR200. Each of the Lenovo tablets sits on a charging base, just like the CR200 does, so there’s no difficulty keeping them charged up.
And… each tablet costs £150 - around half the price of what a CR200 would probably be today, and they are a standard off-the-shelf product. If I drop one and break it I can get one pretty much anywhere, tomorrow.
So yes - there are pros and cons to having a controller in dedicated hardware, but I can understand why Sonos have chosen to go down the generic tablet/phone route.

If you have a CR-200 that isn’t on your equipment list contact Sonos and get them to add it.
As soon as it appears trade it up for a 30% discount offer. It will continue to work just fine.
Then tell your spouse you got a 30% discount deal and want to grab another Sonos while you can. Don’t mention the trade-up discounts don’t expire though!
