Insofar as ways to move forward, might we be able to get a little team of lawyers together to pressure the board to respond to our concerns?

Well not sure why you are in this community chat wether to educate or just bust balls but obviously you are well educated on the matter so I do have a technical question for you because I don’t know anything about this subject but why does apple let a music service Spotify use Home Screen but not Sonos ?

Because the Spotify app is a media player that plays the music through the app. Sonos’ app is a controller, which sends commands to the Sonos hardware, which then fetches and plays the stream. You can see the difference by playing a track on each and then turning off the phone. Sonos keeps playing, Spotify will not.

Apple only allows the side buttons and lock screen to control media playing from/through the phone. Sonos got around this with a hack that played a silent track in the background, fooling iOS into thinking the app was a media player, allowing the use of the buttons and lock screen, which Sonos then hijacked to send commands to the Sonos devices. Apple found the hack and gave them a cease and desist order or they were going to pull the Sonos app from the app store.

Thanks

Not an attorney. Bad business practice telling me to upgrade spending more money on their products then making the app worse with the updates they claimed was so important!!!

So that would be no, it's not criminal. Gotcha.

How long have you worked for Sonos??

Careful Chuckles, it appears some users are allowed to say anything they want and other users are chaste for calling them out. You can’t win

You had to dredge up a 9 day old post just to whine about the mods? Next time, try harder.

I can't provide legal advice, but I can offer some general information. If you're interested in participating in or starting a class action lawsuit against Sonos, it's advisable to consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in class action suits. They can evaluate your situation, discuss the feasibility of a class action, and guide you through the legal process. It's important to gather as much information and evidence as possible to support your case.

So company's regularly get hit with a cease and desist order for doing nothing wrong, gotcha
