Why don’t they just die, think Spence/Sonos.

I remember that line from some movie 

Perhaps also the “eat cake if you can’t get bread” line?!

I’m not really talking about new NAS drives, then only supporting more secure levels is fine.

As I said, if you educate people to only keep their music/video on an old NAS using SMB1, then in the home, there’s little actual risk to the user, like @Kumar who has his non-music data stored safely elsewhere. In that scenario where there was a perfectly decent working home solution, I do understand the annoyance at having to junk something that works, for a risk you can reasonably mitigate. 

For the sharing from a Mac/PC crowd, Sonos could and should have updated their desktop wizards to setup the ‘shares’ correctly. Instead they took the worst option of just removing support in the speaker firmware but leaving the now broken wizards in the (since updated) desktop apps for users to repeatedly attempt to ‘fix’ their issue without success. It’s hardly the best way to approach it. 

Buy a CD, rip it as an MP3 and save it it to my Netgear NAS. Tell Sonos where my music library is on my NAS and play any of my music when I want. That all  worked fine until the experts at Sonos screwed everything up. Now whichever way I try to get access to my music Sonos just says “No thats not gonna happen” I even tried to just connect to the music folder on my PC but again Sonos said “NO”

People have spent a lot of money on their Sonos systems but all they are good for at the moment is landfill.

SORT IT OUT SONOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s been sorted for months now.  You just need to follow these directions exactly (Hint: You need to set up your computer as a share, you can’t just add the folder).
