Hi Sonos fam -
New user since last year and am generally happy with the ecosystem and even the new app (although I am sometimes confused as to where I am exactly when swiping up or down and what thing is playing to what speaker or whatever)…There’s a lot of swiping, screens and icons and sh*t...”View System” takes you to a screen that looks nearly identical to other screens that I would also consider “viewing” the “system”...but anyway...It’s probably my most used app or at least in the top 5...
...now that NAS is back, I’m using it. I have a simple older SSD attached to a router via USB and it seems to be working at least at the moment. Took a lot of fiddling with my router seetings to figure out how to make it work….I find networking to be needlessly overcomplicated and over-jargonated.
I’m trying to see if there is any expanded article/info on using NAS for SONOS. The stuff you do to add your “music library” in the app is basically 1 sentence and if you can’t figure it out you seem kinda f*cked so I guess I’m lucky I got that part figured out… I just want to know if there are better ways to do things. Limits on space? How is it indexing my library exactly? I mean where? Is it storing an index on my phone?? on a speaker? Which speaker? On a SONOS sever? Huh? How long does it take to do this? I don’t have any idea how it’s working and I’d like to know more… NAS really is handy… Happy it’s working...just want to know if there are any cool things I can do with this...
