SONOS has done an absolutely admirable job keeping all there original hardware compatible and functional, and I commend them for that. I mean over and above what should be expected of them, but they have chosen to drop support for the CR-100. There will be more casualties to come, as new features are seemingly being hindered by their aging platform of the original devices.
They have had the beta program operating for years allowing public beta firmware and software to be tested by those that choose to become members. The system has the ability to load a different Fork of the Firmware and Software to do this.
It is time to develop a Legacy Program as well to allow people to choose their path. Move on to version 9 with new features and free support (but without CR-100) or continue with the features we have today on 8.x
There is no reason why this could not be done.
Give the CR-100 and the other legendary Sonos Legacy devices a chance to continue to be used as they are used today.
Shutdown development of new features on the Legacy platform (and charge support if you must) but please give us original SONOS supporters a reasonable option, other than leaving the gear in the recycle bin after a new firmware/software accidentally gets installed.
