Sonos - Please STOP with the CONSTANT updates!!!
I've spent thousands of dollars on Sonos hardware, and it's fantastic. I'm ready to sell it all off and just go back to my wired system. Why? CONSTANT UPDATES that are disruptive and anything but helpful. As a former software engineer, I understand that code needs to be maintained in order to streamline the user experience, but this is bordering on ridiculous. It seems like every other time I open the app, I'm told I need to update, which often leads to me having to run around my office and reconnect ten players - VERY annoying. If you could simply reduce your updates to every quarter or at least every couple of months, I'm sure we would all appreciate it.

Turn off updates is a partial solution, you really should do a manual check every couple months and update at a quiet time.
A potential problem that may bite you is if someone connects to your network with an updated controller they will be prompted to update your gear, likely at a bad time. Same if someone you trust to access your network slips and accepts a Controller update from their OS provider.
If you search the CR-100 topics I believe someone has researched how to actually block updates using your local router's firewall. That is probably worth the effort if you allow friends or family network access. Review what the updates offer and take away and decide if it is worth updating, but be aware that services could require updates to continue working so it isn't a clean solution to keeping what you have now.
