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.

Are you lost? Best Answer to what? I like feeding the TROLLS like you. Great to have some good laughs on Christmas? Got any more..bring ‘em!

What are you on about "feeding the Trolls like you" ?

This is supposed to be a Forum about the day to day use of Sonos. I guarantee you I have had my set up longer than you.

The day to day use of Sonos for original users who keep their library on NAS, computer or hard disc attached to router using SMB has deteriorated over the last few years because Sonos has concentrated on the more lucrative market of streaming music.

Read the thread about "album art not showing on controller" and keep your keyboard warrior skills to yourself.

I come into that group and I don’t see any deterioration in this aspect. i don’t see much improvement either, and it is clear Sonos don’t plan much enhancement in this area. They do see the future as streaming, yes, but the Sonos Music Library still works fine for me. The fact that SMB2 / SMB3 took so long to implement shows that this is not a high priority for Sonos. The fact that SMB2/3 has happened proves that they haven’t abandoned the local Music Library.
