So you're suggesting two different music libraries? What a mess that would be.

AirPlay supports this I use on my Marantz pre-pro, B&W and other products too, all the Logitech and Roku etc. You can do multi-room audio on phones or in iTunes.

I guess I should ask if anyone is in the market for a 1 hour used connect. 😞

Unless you bought it used, just take it back; no need for anyone else to be 'in the market'.

Sonos isn't for everyone.

Thanks, I'll see if the installer who spec'd the amp and outdoor speakers can return it.

Not for the audiophools, certainly. :rolleyes:

Apparently not for people who like friendly productive forum communities either…

Not true. But the regulars are fed up of this subject, having said all there is to be said on it,endlessly on just this one thread. Perhaps you ought to have spend time reading it fully first.
For us, this is non productive waste of time.

I'm not sure why you keep going to a thread you've written off. You do know you don't have to read every post on every thread, right? Calling people fools doesn't seem particularly friendly. You guys sure make it sound like SONOS will never change, but sure enough they changed the wireless communications capabilities, which I bet was a long-running request.

All I did is, as others recommended, post that this support is valuable for a customer and mention how strange it is that SONOS doesn't support higher bit-rate.

I checked out the information for the product I bought and didn't see that it only supported heavily limited bitrates: http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/connect I'm sure it exists somewhere in documentation, but it sure isn't front and center.

I guess you can ignore my interest in the product as I'll move on.

heavily limited bitrates
....which the science tells us cater for the entire range of human hearing. I've always been fond of my pets, but not enough to buy them specialist audio equipment.

If I transcode them once, then I need to have two different libraries, which is not easy to manage.

You really don't need two libraries in this scenario. Just transcode once and delete the hires source files.

Long running requests that eventually get done are never given the status of 'Not Planned' at ask.Sonos. And those 'heavily limited bitrates' are the standards for the audio industry. You might also say Sonos won't play ridiculously high bitrates that are scientifically proven to deteriorate audio fidelity upon playback.
