Multiple users on a single account

This sonos is just utterly .crap. after using it for some days the list of issues with this system is pretty long, so long that all my speakers is going straight back to sonos, is just to poorly done for my taste.

I recommend spotify to realy look into privacy, this system is in my view a hugh problem and in direct conflict with gdpr.

Also, multiuser is non existent. What the heck is sonos thinking when two spotify useraccounts is added to same sonos, other users have access to private listings, and is in fact possible for anybody to use someone elses spotifyaccount. Iam truly shocked what kind of lazy approach sonos is taking.

I am pretty relaxed about my wife using my playlists. There's privacy and then there is paranoia.

Yes for shure me to, but the problem to this approach is that i need to login with the sonos system owner account on the individual users phones and then add their spotify account to the system. Again what the heck, a system owners account should ONLY be used on the owners devices not on anyone elses phones.

And when two or more users have the sonos app, why is it so that changes made in one app reflects to all other userapps? Adding/removing radiochannels, privacy and datagathering settings should be specific to each user not same on all.

As i said, this system is so half finished and poorly designed that i belive sonos is francly .****.

On the positiv side, sonos is well designed visualy and sounds good, very bad the quality is not maintained on the software s

If you don’t like the way Sonos works sell it and move on?  Why insult those who like the way it works and the whole design, which is constantly evolving to cater for the changing way people are listening to music.  As soon as you resort to insulting those you don’t agree with you have just lost the debate.

Expletives with prior punctuation to fool the profanity filter just childish too. 

Funny how you don't seem to grasp the philosophy and functionality of Sonos, and then blame others that they don't, meanwhile accusing Sonos of doing a bad job.

Sonos is a multiroom system designed for multiple users jointly in a home. As such, the system belongs to the home in a communal sense, not to a single user. I trust that the implementations by Denon, Bose and Bluesound work in a very similar way. Google's smarthome uses the same premise; a user that is "invited" into the home can see and manipulate everything in it. I'm pretty sure that all of these companies will have GDPR covered one way or another. But of course your view on such features is right and all of these multi-billion dollar companies are wrong.

By the way, as far as I know, GDPR is about what companies do with your data. I doubt GDPR applies when you are voluntarily adding your Spotify account to a system that will show your playlists to other users - I would think that is all very well possible, without Sonos or Spotify ever violating their GDPR obligations. If I add a Nest camera to my Google Home, and also grant my wife access to that system, do I then have the right to complain that she can see the footage from "my" camera, when that is the whole point of the system?

All in all, given your criticisms,  it sounds that Sonos apparently is not for you, and also you didn't really research how the system works before you bought it. You then chose to vent your anger about that here. You're not the first and you will not be the last, but it doesn't make you right and everyone else, including Sonos, wrong.

If you want to use a speaker without anyone seeing your data, wire one to your phone
