Further sidelining of NAS Music Library in new Sonos App??

Was there an alternative then? But yes, being able to play owned music anywhere in the home is a big draw to the minority that still enjoys that feature and I am one of such people. I am on S1 and these Sonos moves don’t bother me.

I’m not sure what marketing material you’re looking at, but the marketing material I’ve seen doesn’t really talk about airplay, bluetooth, TV, or Aux sources either….and those aren’t going away.  

I would also like to understand how library access is going to work going forward. For example, if old search is being discontinued without incorporating library searching into new search, then that will make S2 harder to use with a NAS music library. 

There will always be issues with laws like GDPR and others regarding accessing your personal music library from a ‘cloud’ situation. I suspect there must be a huge amount of care given by the folks writing any code there. 

I had a pop up message on my Sonos app that in a couple of months time in a new version of the S2 app the ability to have a NAS music library was going to be discontinued permanently because of security concerns about SMB V1. I can’t find out any more detail on the Sonos web site or these forums. It’ll be very disappointing as I have versions of songs I haven’t found on music services. I’m sure others do too.

Do any of the learned guys on this forum know any more about this?

This is a surprise. Did you take a screen cap? 
 

Can anyone with Sonos clarify please? 

Screenshot or Sonos confirmation would be needed; and if yes, why would the same concern not apply for using this feature via S1?

It came up separately on my phone and iPad. I didn’t think to take a screen capture. I just wanted to remember the contents. Had two buttons under it. One was to learn about music services. 

It has been reported elsewhere with a shot - on the announcement of a new all dancing UI thread.

I took this to mean that they are dropping support for SMBv1, not local libraries altogether. It probably could’ve been worded better if that’s the case.
