Sad day for me and my CR100

I am sure this has to do with security and the CR100, I just can’t remember what was said about it when Sonos announced the end of the CR100.

This recent development and the artist and song title under “information” plus now hearing local commercials tells me something has changed with TuneIn.

I’m not interested in hearing commercials for local businesses through my Sonos.  In order to continue to listen to my favorite radio station from half way around the word, I will buy a Bluetooth device to plug into the back or my ZP80.  I can then stream from my phone.

Thank you for the suggestions and feedback.

I revive this thread, as I have the same problem; i switched on my Sonos system for the first time in a few months and got the same error message on my CR100 with regard to connecting to TuneIn. I own 2 CR100 an two S5 (1 first gen with software 8.4)

I am still able to play TuneIn radio stations on my system using an old version (8.4) of the Windows Sonos App. I only use the CR100 to change volume or pause the playback of the TuneIn Radio.

@ossodiseppia Were you able to resolve the problem, so to be able to again fully use the CR100 to connect to TuneIn and chose radio stations?

Hi @Buttel ,

I am sorry, there is no solution to this.  My remotes can only access my music library and Amazon music.

I am in the same boat as you: “problem connecting to TuneIn.” 😞

This is a watershed moment - can’t now listen to the radio by pressing a button on the beloved CR100. 😢

I note, for everyone’s amusement, that since locking down the Sonos system all those years ago so that my CR100s would continue to work … all my CR100s have exploded and destroyed the house several times because of foretold problems with the lithium batteries. 😮

I have two options: battle on with the legacy system and pump audio into it another way - or ditch the CR100s and finally upgrade the s/w to what Sonos want us to have. 🤔

Thoughts appreciated...

Take the dive, @Mike_195. There comes a time for all of us to realize that it's time to move on.

So what options are there to replace the CR100 for simplicity of usage?

I don’t want to mess about with my phone just to switch the radio on.

You could use your phone, your tablet or your PC. Take your pick.

You “don’t want to mess about with your phone”, which more than likely is in your pocket or close by, is light and portable, has a touch screen interface, and is ubiquitously used for everything from phone calls, to texting, to internet searches, to navigation, to locating the stars in the heavens, yet you spent the last decade+ picking up a one pound brick from its charger and used a wheel and hard buttons to “switch the radio on”?  

Depending in the rest of your system, you could also use voice control from Amazon, Google, or Sonos, for streams. None of them do local music. 

He must still be on a Rotary or flip phone if he thinks using the old Russian iPod as a controller is better than his phone
