Sonos favorite limit

I know there where several topics about the sonos favorite limit, people explained the limited playlist is a feature.

But seriously, you cannot limit peoples behaviours!

Please increase the limit, its a stupid concept to reduce the possibilities we use sonos products we paid for.

Nice sunday, enjoy music :)

Hey, anyone is considering switching away from sonos? The recent developments make me wonder why the product I paid for deteriorates with every other "enhancement ". 


What has deteriorated?

  1. no Apple support for music stored on the phone - whatever the reason is behind (i.e. caused by Apple or not)
  2. Playlists for music stored on the phone - disapperared from Andriod app. I have mostly stopped playing my music - Sonos is now just a radio service even though the “hardware” is really good.
  3. Ads (as if “new prpoducts”) - being pushed to the screens
  4. Favs - very limited. I do not even remember my favourite radio stations. Ok here - I am removing Sonos radio from Favs.  

These are a few from top of my mind. Overall - it is worse than it was when purchased.

PS: Please, do not spend time trying to persuade me that I am using the product incorrectly and I should listen to the music in a different “Sonos” way. Some posts here have made me think it is the common theme on the forum.

@Vasily huh I forgot that #1 and #2 where options. TBH if you can’t or are unwilling to adjust how you playback music (and use one of the different ways you can do this on sonos) since these features were deleted you should switch from Sonos.

 

Oh for #3 you can turn ads on/off in your profile on sonos.com.

Thanks! Exactly - hence my question if anyone is considering switching from Sonos - what would be a similar alternative!? Spotify subscription to play over Sonos hardware - this seems to be an overkill.

Wiim Pro maybe since your points #1 and #2 imply you want to play from both iOS and Android. Seems a bit drastic to me as you could move your files to a NAS and call it a day, but to each their own. You will probably get a better response in a different thread or ask the question on a different non sonos focused site.

I use them as bookmarks rather than favourites (they aren’t referred to as favourites in the stations section) and therefore to me it makes no sense to enforce an arbitrary limit.
