Why so complicated - your customers just want to listen to their music on their speakers.

He has a point. I just wish it would actually - display the imbedded artwork - actually show the track playing. As a long term Sonos user with my own library the controller has systematically got worse and worse at doing the basics. It may well play Spotify et Al ok with artwork but not own library stuff anymore. I have 10 units and have been a Sonos fan but loosing my patience now. I recently had the choice of buying a Sonos Arc with Sub and decided instead on the Sony HT-A9 plus SW-SA5 subwoofer as I have lost confidence in Sonos.

Nonsense. They average an update every 3 or 4 months. If you only play music every 3 or 4 months, then music isn't important enough for your complaint.

Go celebrate a holiday, troll.

Me thinks you’re the troll - 2 updates in the last few week, then today forced to use a complete new sonos app

I have 8 sonos devices - used to be much simpler

Again, nonsense. There is no brand new app. Do you actually believe Sonos did a release of a new app on freaking Christmas? Just stop. Go jingle some bells.

The last release was on Dec 7th.

You need to drop down on your knees and thank the Sonos gods for the updates you receive. LOL

Seriously, you obviously don’t understand the reasoning behind updates especially ones that are incremental. Until Sonos releases a new product or feature the updates are typically to ensure your Sonos doesn’t crash either because of a discovered bug or the release of an update by a Sonos partner that require a Sonos adjustment.

So chill out, stop complaining about nothing and enjoy your Sonos.

Actually, all the Sonos products I use for my TVs (3 beams, 1 soundbar/bass/surrounds) work quite well. It’s only when I want to listen to music off my iPhone, (Apple, Deezer), that I have to do so much updating.

Yes, it’s probably my ignorance, but still… it was once so simple to listen to music on a quiet Sunday morning... and now it’s not.

Frustrating for me.

There is no reason why that should require updates. What you now say you own condradicts your profile..

I shall suspend disbelief for a moment and ask if you are using the Sonoa app to play or Airplay?

I suspect these are Apple and Deezer updates and nothing to do with Sonos.
