As of 10/28/2019 version 10.5 of the app requires Android 7.0 or later. We purchased a PLAY:5 planning to use our Android 6.0 phones to set it up. Is the 10.4 version still available? Otherwise a new phone ($$) or we own a boat anchor.

We plan to use it exclusively as an internet radio.

Any helpful info will be appreciated.

Invite a friend over who has a recent phone or tablet. Load the Sonos app and set up the speaker

failing that get an Amazon Fire tablet, £50 but often far cheaper in the Black Friday sales. Once set up you can use your 6 phones to play music ok.

+1 to bockersjv. Those are the two suggestions I would have made.

The unsaid portion of those replies is no, Sonos doesn’t support older versions of their software.

I suppose you might find a version out on the “internet” somewhere, but I’d be pretty suspicious of the contents of the download containing malware of some type.

Here's a link download at your risk.

Sonos blocks the previous version from adding speakers because reasons ?????

If you buy an Android device you may want to consider investigating what updates it will be getting in the future in order to prolong the length of time it will be supported by the Sonos app.

Moderator note - if you have found this post, please be advised of the following:
As the writer of this post has rightly stated, use of the firmware in the link is entirely at your own risk. We always recommend keeping your system on the latest firmware version.
Furthermore: any requests for support with your system (to be provided by Sonos) will be met with the requirement to update your system to the latest version.

Thank you for your replies, I have read and considered some of your suggestions. Borrowing from a friend is not an option.

I was planning on the Fire approach until I read the procedure involved. Am I correct in saying it involves loading Alexa? Or is there a way around that? We do not use, or want, voice control, even “disabled”.

Airgetlam & Rubix2,

Thanks for the link but I agree with the point about risk.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I really would like to get this working. I will look again at the Fire.

Or purchase a phone I neither want nor need.
