As per the changes to the support page on 24th June, the date for the local library search was put back to July. 

Maybe continue to monitor this link for any further changes…

Thank you. I searched everywhere and that didn't come up at all.

 

It's a major part of why I own 18 products it is also one of the most important issues for a huge amount of people so it should have  be addressed as a priority. IMHO.

Nah I think Sonos were right to prioritise the ‘voice over’ navigation accessibility features for those users that need assistance to navigate their App. A locally held library can still be browsed quite easily by Artist for the time being.

Erm..... Not when you have over 60 thousand tracks and thousands of albums .

 

You try navigating that alphabetically without the aid of A to Z bar to actually go directly to a letter of the alphabet.

 

To each his own there are other voice navigation services and I personally don't use ANY. 

 

Like I said .... I bought Sonos and gave added to it . I have 7tvs with various products from bars to bases etc etc so everyone is allowed a personal opinion mine happens to be the local library search feature. I've purchased all my music on hard copies so I'm not locked into subscriptions for the rest of my life .

 

Thanks for your input tho and the link .

The poster wasn’t talking about voice services.  He was talking about ADA access for the blind which was missing upon launch.  Big difference.

My Father is blind and no disrespect to anyone with sight impairment that's a tiny tiny % of the community on Sonos ...The % of partially sighted people in the UK is very very small compared to the % of Sonos customers that lost functionality that they bought the system for 

 

So again I say that it's an individual issue of which mine is the local library search.

The government doesn’t mandate a local library search.

So if it's a government mandate then why are you even questioning what I've said .

 

Please refrain from replying any further to my post . It's wasting both our time.

Plus who knows what's going to be mandated with the state of the politics in the UK . It's laughable.

 

Have a good day .

Your argument is that those with disabilities can sit at the back of the queue because they are in the minority, and that everyone should devote their time, energy and money to the those without disabilities because there are more of them?  Seriously, you need to take a long hard look at yourself, as your attitude sucks.
