Does anyone know the bitrate that the new sonos radio curated playlists, ie the new Thom Yorke one, are streaming at? Why can't sonos just add a bitrate to the player and save having to email support all the time! Its such an omission for streaming player. With modern internet there is no excuse for less than 320 streaming in my view.

    I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but…

    It was great for Sonos to provide its users with a free radio service.

    However, given the fact that Sonos promotes itself as a high-end speaker company, how could they broadcast its radio stations in crappy 128kbps?
     

    I don’t understand the logic of this other than perhaps it was a restriction in order to keep the service free.

      I just agree 128kbit is terrible for a company like sonos. 10years ago it might been ok but today??? Was so trilled about sonos radio but the sound quality is far from premium… when will it be better? Or at least choosable as in Spotify.
