Currently on Mac OS Version 16.2 and controller is telling me there is an update. Those of us on a Mac know the Mac updater from the software hasn’t worked for a number of years and update has to be done manually - Not a big deal. The filename is “Sonos_79.1-53290.dmg”

 

However I cannot find any release notes for this and given the complete horlicks Sonos have made of recent software releases obviously I’m reluctant to run this in fear of further borking the system.

 

Can anybody shed light on what this update does and should I do it?

I recently sold my old NAS and installed a new Synology NAS which Sonos can see and play music from. I’d be a very unhappy bunny if Sonos broke this again.

Thanks in advance

I have not yet updated my MacOS. I keep up-to-date on my mobile devices and so far I am not convinced I should do my Mac. Sonos 16.2 for MacOS still works fine. And other than reminding me to update twice a day, it still has more functionality than the iOS version. 

If you don’t update your Desktop app it will likely complain once your speaker firmware gets updated via the mobile app.

Sonos don’t make many changes to the Desktop apps these days, the most recent I can think of is their attempts to fix local library setup, and the hiding of TuneIn Classic.
