Why did the Sonos S1 Desktop app (windows,mac) is no longer available ? Is this the start of something ?

Best answer by Corry P

Hi ​@Killjon 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Thanks for reporting that the S1 Mac and Windows Desktop controllers were not available for download.

This was a mistake that has now been rectified!

I hope this helps.

I guess you have not visited any communities for a while.

Support for the desktop apps have been discontinued and the web app is now used: play.sonos.com

While its not as functional as the desktop app, it does a great job playing music and grouping speakers.

I do wish Sonos would add more security to the could based app with TFA

Never noticed that the S1 desktop controller isn't available here:

https://support.sonos.com/en-us/downloads

Maybe a call to Sonos support to see if there are options?

No options and my music library is gone making SONOS glorified wi-fi radios

That must be a recent removal, because they were there not long ago. You can still use the mobile Sonos S1 controller on iOS, Android and FireOS.

Did you possibly keep a copy of your last download, or maybe catch it in a backup?

I believe there is a problem with the website because if you navigate to support and then apps, you receive a 404 error - tested in Canada English and French.  Definitely something going on.

 

Thanks

Yea… unfortunately, a lot of troubleshooting is not possible from the mobile app or web app and let`s not talk about the Music Library ...

We’re talking about S1, correct? The web app doesn’t work with S1. The S1 mobile apps work fine, as does using a local Music Library. I moved all my music playing sonos gear back to S1 last September. I only use S2 for home theater and one pair of Ones that I use for testing S2 progress (or lack thereof).

Go to the app store and search for “Phonos Ultimate”. Native Intel and Apple Silicon, supports S1 and S2.
