STOP IT. SERIOUSLY. JUST STOP IT. I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN ON MY STEREO AND LISTEN TO MUSIC AND RELAX. INSTEAD YOU CAUSE ME STRESS WITH YOUR CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS.

      BCM,

      With whackster's stress levels being that HIGH, I’m not sure he will still be around for the next update anyway. 😃

        I don't mind the updates, it's killing controllers every couple of years that takes some getting used to, unless you are the sort to buy the latest iphone every year. It's an un-expected cost to us old guys. Especially when google play still works great from Samsung tablet that is dead to sonos. If google can still make it work, why can't sonos?

        Luckily my 2 daughters must have latest ones, so I have their old phones to use when the iphone5 gets dropped in July.

        That’s why androids make better controllers. They tend to last longer before android obsoletes them. And they do direct sonosnet connection.

        Started with Sonos 10+ years ago. It used to just work. Very few updates and the ones that came out installed almost flawlessly. Today they hit every month or 2 and usually necessitate hunting down a speaker or two to reboot. I have 30 or so units spread over 2 houses and a business. They all have trouble updating. I thought the units talked to each other over their own network. Why can't they sort out the ip issues without bothering me? How about updating in the background without the need for me to be involved. Used to love and recommend the system, not so much any more! We should be able to use them as a consumer not a network tech.
