local library search update mid June

What would you know about my situation. But then why should you sitting behind your keyboard ????

I'm a disabled person so I can say what I like . It's called freedom of speech and why not put us to the back of the queue most able bodied people wouldn't give us a second look believe me I experience it each and every day of my life .

So who sucks now ?

Suggest that you live a day in my shoes and then you can be as crappy as you like !!!

Again ...it's my opinion if you don't like it stop engaging with me .

The only time probably would put yourself In my place is a parking space designated to disabled people.

"I'm only going to be 5 mins so it's ok "

You don't speak for all able bodied people and you certainly don't speak for the doubles community so go do good somewhere else.

Many thanks for your input tho . Changes my life....NOT

I don’t know why, as I’m waiting for the local library search too, but for some reason, I’m now really hoping that Sonos choose to push back its launch date even further, to ensure every accessibility feature possible is first included in their new App, before they choose to add that local search feature. Here’s hoping it’s last on their to-do list… 🤞

The accessibility features should have been included from day one. They ignored feedback and screwed over all customers to sell basic headphones. Such a massive mistake. And It’s taking them way too long fix it. IMO they give zero Fs about any of their customers. 

I mean who did the beta testing ???

People that don't use Sonos OBVIOUSLY 

You can't tell me that no one mentioned all theses issues and features and they weren't important.

Just ridiculous. If I didn't have over 14 products around my home (can't afford to replace everything) I seriously would have just disposed of them all and moved to a competitor.

I understand some accessibility features were included in the initial release, but clearly there were some important things missing and Sonos have chosen to prioritise those, over the other missing App features that are now being added… I’m not arguing that point.

My issue is, that even though I do not use accessibility and do want the library search features myself, I am more than happy to wait for the library search …and let those that ‘need’ the accessibility features, get those first.

I don’t even mind if the library search is the last on the Sonos ‘to-do’ list, if it means that the accessibility features get priority for a minority. I think the majority in this instance should wait patiently.

There are already plenty of ways to search a local library (or a mirrored library) and play the results on Sonos, without such a search in any-case in the new App. IBroadcast, Plex or even create a .m3u playlist with a 3rd party App, or use such an App with search facilities and either AirPlay. or use DLNA/UPnP etc. for playback of the search results, to name but a few options currently available, to find/play whatever local tracks you want.

The iOS app was unusable with Voiceover on initial release (navigating through an app top to bottom in a straight line does t = accessible) Its gotten a little better with each release however still has a long way to go. Beta testers have alleged that Sonos ignored feedback that the app lacked basic accessibility but released it anyway.  They prioritized selling headphones over current customers even being able to access their systems as they did before the release going on 2 months 

They had beta testers however some whistleblowers who morally couldn’t honor their NDA have said that Sonos ignored all feedback. 

Typical !!

Sonos admitted they ‘took their eye off the ball’ before release regarding accessibility - the App was unusable for some users.  They knew this before release (as well as the other issues they found out just before) - that they still did this is an absolute disgrace.  They did ignore all the issues raised during beta testing - and went ahead anyway.  Never mind beta (or alpha!) testers, there needs to be people with such requirements employed by Sonos and you would like to think the whole issue would never have arisen.

Sonos said the new App removed nothing and would only make things better - despite knowing otherwise.
