The Sonos Brexit and pragmatic ways past it

I will start this thread with a few caveats: First, this thread is not for rants. There are plenty here for those, and there is no bar on opening new ones. Second, the thread is directed for the subset of users that have a large investment in legacy products, and are content to see their Sonos syste...

When I scramble CDs on my CD player, I can listen to the music just fine on my Move via my Port for hours on end.  But, when I try to listen to the scrambled CDs on my grouped Playbar and Sonos 1s, the Port disconnects from the group after each song.  How do I fix this?
