New Upgrade offer

I just got the new upgrade offer and to be frank I am a big shocked. It seems like an environmental disaster policy of the highest order. The only thing I can think of describing it is an evil plan for getting us to buy more stuff and throw away stuff that works. I have a perfectly working old play...

Apple Music

Answered

I’ve just bought the Sonos One. How do I get Alexa to play my playlists from Apple Music? I can physically select music to play off Apple Music but when asking Alexa she won’t play, something about Amazon Music is mentioned

Recommended music - other than classical and pop

I am not sure there is a thread on what Sonos is truly about - the music, so this might be an interesting thread. I have left out classical because that deserves a thread of its own and modern pop because it all sounds the same to me. I have Phil Keaggy strumming Solitude from his Acoustic Sketches...

Recommended Music: Rock, hard Rock or Metal

Looks like a lot of other genres have been touched on but haven't seen this group yet. I'm new to Sonos...had my Play 5 for a month then it lost its WiFi ability...they are sending me a new one. Love the sound, but from these genres, what has really stood out to play on my Sonos? Thanks

Braun reinvents its classic speakers with Google Assistant to compete with Sonos

These are cool. Hard to beat Dieter Rams design esthetic. They remind me of Braun's uber cool version of my QUAD ESL-63s, miniaturized. Oops, nope, the original was a version of the earlier QUAD ESL-57. https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/braun-new-le-wireless-smart-speakers/

New hardware coming? August 27 & 28 Press events

Interesting tease here: https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/08/sonos-fall-event-IFA-2019/ Seems odd that no FCC popups have occurred yet, but I'm not one to be looking for those kinds of things, I count on others in our community for that

Sonos Sues Lenbrook for Bluesound and BluOS, Alleging Patent Infringement

This will be interesting, especially after Denon. Sonos invented wireless multi room audio, and owns all the patents. Hard to imagine they won’t win this one, too. https://www.cepro.com/article/sonos_sues_lenbrook_for_bluesound_bluos_alleged_patent_infringement

I'm back with Sonos

Hi all, Up until HomePod appeared I had multiple sonos players in my home for years. From connects to play 5s and play 1s. When HomePod came out I got one and sold all my sonos stuff. Despite this I was never really happy with the HomePod sound. (It replaced a play 5 2nd gen) I thought a softwa...

Suggestion for a new music service.

An interesting music service you might want to consider. Mubert. It's a bit hard to describe, but it comes in regular and premium versions and is basically a musical algorithm compilation of different though similar.

Blast from the past!

Nostalgia from the BBC about how we listened to the music in the past makes for interesting reading. See the bit about how useful a pencil was as a tool in the signal chain! http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20190408-old-music-tech-people-under-30-wouldnt-understand
