Anyone else cheesed off at Sonos & Eno restricting his Lighthouse project to HD only?

I am wholly disgruntled at Sonos partnering with Brian Eno and making his Lighthouse station only available in HD. It is both thoughtless and greedy in my view (by both parties). How many fans of Brian Eno are able to afford new Sonos 2 equipment, further paying a monthly subscription to listen to his music? Do they expect those of us who have lots of Sonos 1 equipment to simply pay a fortune to upgrade? And what about those who cannot afford Sonos equipment in the first place?

Sonos should insist on providing alternate listening options for use with any equipment in SD. 

Shame on Sonos and Eno alike.

I don’t object to paying for music but I really am disgusted at the ivory tower mentality of this project (not to speak of the very deep pockets required to participate).

Sonos previously had an unblemished record in my book and I have persuaded many people to purchase at least one speaker, sometimes more.

I won’t be doing so after this disgraceful act.

That data is from use of your app? I would expect, if so, for it to be slightly skewed towards S1 folks, just due to the nature of the need for your app….but likely not more than a point or two. 

 

This data is from my iOS app, which does not have any reason to tend one way or another. My Windows app lacks the telemetry to deliver this particular statistic.

    I don’t have the desire or need to go look, but I wonder if some of the shareholder discussions given yearly have some of that data, which would be directional, not current.

     

     

    I would expect it to be skewed a lot more than few points.
