Also, I have 92,000 songs of my own right now that I have been playing using sonos since the very first play 5 came out.

In the face of kickbacks from music streaming companies for funneling customers their way with this speaker breakage it's clear that brand Loyalty means absolutely nothing to Sonos or their AWOL ceo.

I just checked my orders list on sonos. I registered my first three Sonos products on 5/3/2013. Of my three newer models I registered the last of those on 2/23.

And in literally one days time I went from being able to use all of my current Sonos products to all of those Sonos products being paperweights. Simply because they forced an app update on me that took away the usability and functionality of all of my products.

So basically Sonos is making it perfectly clear that their products will barely last one year before they are useless paperweight. 15 months product life. Sonus is way too expensive for only getting 15 months of usage out of for hundreds of dollars each. That's frat boy quality right there.

I never resolved it by the fixes that were mentioned on the forum so I got it squared away by removing the old plex server and installed the newest plex media server and finally added one of my bigger music folders which took quite a while but it’s up and running. Give it a go it was pretty easy to do. Btw Stardock you’ve got a year on me lol. I made 5 purchases in 2014, 3 more in 2015 , 2 in 2016,  2 in 2017, and more recently added a beam, move, roam, and another Play5. 

It's sad that this is what Sonos thinks of our loyalty to them for a decade or more.

Not only Sonos ,corporate greed is rampant, not to mention the government doesn’t seem to care about  the scammers and criminals that steal and never get punished.

That's a fact. This whole update is a stinky stew of corporate greed and general incompetence.

Hopefully some “heads” will roll, and they will learn from this disastrous roll out.

I still like Sonos and now that the Plex media seems to be working fine I will add more from my library.

I will also redo my Nvidia Shield with Plex media.

If this is Sonos being courageous, I weep for the time when headphone sales are weaker than expected and they really start playing fast and loose with our stuff.

“Hey guys if we sell user analytics, we’ll make big money with the streaming services.”

Oh… right.  I guess we’re there.

This really started to be a fear last May when they took away the ability to play music from your device. It was apparent then that they're trying to force people to use for pay music streaming services instead of listening to their own music.

It's like the people that made your CD player showing up at your house to destroy the CD player's ability to play cd's and then telling you to try for pay movie streaming sites instead.

It's yet another Kickback scam that's The big rage in the corporate world these days.
