Anyone else like me and currently too scared to update their sonos library + desktop app just in case it gets screwed even more than it currently is? (lesson learned after automatic ios update)
Sonos are going to have to do some BIG gestures to earn trust back from their customers.
+18Sonos has said the Windows app will be cancelled after the current problems are over. It has been technically laid to rest for a long time and just kept ticking over to keep in touch with newer software on the speakers. Keeping it updated will not make things worse because of this, it might make them a little better because it will keep up with the speakers better.
+24The only problem with the newer firmware is the mis-indexing of compilation albums, which has no work-around. (There are also issues with device discovery, but harder to quantify).
The only problem with the Desktop app is the change to the setup of local music sharing, which has had multiple fixes and documented work-arounds.
These are minor issues compared to the gigantic problems with the new app.
I would stick with what you have if its working for you.
