Adding new devices to a system containing legacy devices

With the end of software updates for legacy devices in May, will I be able to add new Sonos products to a system containing legacy devices. My experience is that when adding a new device a software update has always been necessary.

    Thanks for posting that Kumar!

    We’ll have more to share come May, but the legacy systems will still have the feature to add a player.

    I can't find it there, so till I am pointed to it, I have to say that what you say isn't true.

     

    So I’m a liar?

    As much as you said I was?

    Big difference between not knowing the truth, and deliberately posting falsehoods.  Search sucks at this site, and even when you locate a post, clicking on it brings you to the first post in the thread.  However, here’s excerpt from one of Ryan S’ posts on this subject, and you can clearly see he is answering that you can add new products to a legacy system:

      His exact words in the quote above were:

      You will be able to add products to your legacy systems. We'll have more to share on the experience come May.

      Thank you for pointing this out. Unfortunately, his sentence is lost in the cesspool and is missing anywhere outside it, as far as I have been able see.

      Note though that my sentence that you said to be not true was ambivalent in the first place, subsequently repeated in the same way.

        Ambivalent?

         

        Yes, and therefore adding a new device will be at the cost of bricking all legacy devices.  Or so it appears at this time . . . 

         

        Really? You are better than this.  It was not true, and it did not appear that way, since Ryan stated quite the opposite.

        @Ryan S from some time after May new products being bought will come with versions after the legacy ones? How will these be added to a legacy system?
