No, there is not. And since the desktop code is in ‘maintenance’ mode only, there is unlikely to be.
@Airgetlam , I appreciate the response (as unfortunate as it is).
One follow up, what is the rationale for the desktop app being in “maintenance" mode?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Sonos want to get rid of it entirely (hence the web app now), but the starting point was to gut all setup- and config-related features which they did many years ago.
My 2c: They just don’t want to have to make every change in four different codebases: two different codebases is much easier. 50% easier in fact.
And that decision was taken two, maybe three years ago? It has been quite a while. I’ll have to look for the announcement and link it here.
Huh. I can’t easily find it. Memory suggests it was in the early 10.x time frame, but it was part of the regular release, and not a disparate post announcing it. I don’t think it was tied to the S1/S2 split.
But then, I’m not a coder like @controlav is, his reference/memory may be much better than mine.
@controlav and @Airgetlam
Again, much thanks.
I use to be a regular here but it has been awhile as life / work has taken over from hobbies.
Yikes, web app, it really has been a long time. I found it! I looked at it and not my cup of tea!
Thank you.
PS. I guess I am like others and feel SONOS has lost its way over the past +/- 9 months. I wish they would stick to what they do best - multi-room music with kick ass software!

My memory is terrible, as is the Search feature on this site, but I did eventually find the Desktop announcement, it was six years ago, before the S1/S2 split:
Heh.., thanks. I guess my time sense was skewed, I was looking much later…

Well that’s worked out really well…

Agreed, I bought my first SONOS equipment in early 2000’s including the long discontinued CR-100 control which loved. As I wrote above, looking at the innovation and quality of the past, they have lost their way! Very sad.
