On This Phone

I recently received a message that "On This Phone" is being eliminated. How will I be able to play songs from my playlists on my Iphone?
You will definitely not find the answer to your question at that link, Sonos has become another self serving obsolete platform that is moving backwards & calling it progress. If you can access music from your phone then Sonos is irrelevant & time to find the company that has solutions. Anyone want to buy an obsolete Sonos system for super cheap? Maybe I can con someone like sonos did to us to buy it at my garage sale.

Troy, AL? What do you consider “super cheap”? I would gladly take it off your hands if we have the same idea of “super cheap”.

i seriously am close enough to come to your garage sale (if you are in Troy, AL), and would like to know what you are charging.

Hi, I'm in Troy Michigan.
I'm going to put it as a silent auction at my garage sale & take whatever is offered.
I'm researching new audio system options and have come across a few that are also
controlled by smart phone app that don't seem like they will be outdated every few years
like Sonos is with their comm tech in the speakers. I'll post on it soon & start a new thread
for it.

The original Sonos ZP100 is still supported and in use, and it is approaching 15 years old. It even supports Alexa voice control, a technology that wasn't even a gleam in Amazon's eye back in 2005. To accuse Sonos "comm tech" as being "outdated every few years" is utterly laughable, and even more so coming in a thread concerning Apple devices, which are the very definition of "planned obsolescence".

As usual in these threads, the hyperbole eventually drowns out any reasonable complaints, and the sympathy one has for the actual loss of the functionality gets lost in the noise. But hey, at least this one didn't compare the loss of functionality to a pet dying, a loved one being cut off life support.

Wow, did not see that coming. Thats on you Jgatie because that comment is the "noise". So if you have any real answers please let us know how to maintain functionality with smart phone control of a Sound Bar & Sub without purchasing new equipment when the "on this iPhone" feature is disabled.

There have been a number of options suggested. Whilst you can’t play music that is stored on your phone directly to your existing kit, you can continue to use the phone to control that music and play it from sources that will cost you nothing.

So so you can have almost identical capabilities without buying more Sonos or other kit, nor streaming services, nor anything else.

Or you have people interested in buying your Sonos gear from you.
