I’ve had my Sonos 5 for probably about 8 years now, and the recent news about “recycle mode” has brought back some of my older worries about buying into Sonos -- that I have this nice speaker, but if Sonos were to go away, it’s a big paperweight. More practically, I’ve brought this speaker to other...

I’m reading up on the Sonos Port and I have a couple of questions. As I understand it the 12V Trigger just works as an on/off trigger for my amp. Assuming my amp/receiver support 12V triggers it will bring it back on from a sleep/standby mode. But it won’t change inputs, right? If that’s the case...

I keep renaming a Play 5 both in the Mac desktop controller and the iOS app and after a few hours or days, the name reverts back. I had originally set up this speaker as part of a pair in my office, but have split the pair and moved this one to the dining room. How do I make the renaming stick?

I think this is quite a fair comparison because they are both Bluetooth speakers, they are at the same price point ($400), both from big premium sound companies (Sonos & Marshall). I’m currently testing between those 2 to decide which one will be my main Bluetooth speaker. I’m leaning toward...

Anyone use WD My Cloud Home and Sonos? I dont mind the limited views to Artist, Album and Genre but I wish they worked better.
