Music for the holiday season

I haven't seen such a thread here and it seems to be a good time to start one. I doubt there is much value in suggesting the pop carols and tunes by all the usual suspects; I reckon that albums that are unusual and not in play everywhere all day and night will be more interesting. That said, a first list: 1. Paolo Fresu, Jazzy Christmas - excellent trumpet playing 2. Another excellent trumpet album for the season is by Tine Thing Helseth, My heart is ever present 3. Kurt Elling kicks off the 15 songs album Blue Christmas, a Blue note selection 4. Nana Mouskouri's The Christmas Album has many well known songs with a twist as well as a few sung in French, German and Greek 5. Hot Club Cool Yule, Hot club of San Francisco 6. Have yourself a soulful little Christmas, Kenny Burrell 7 Six string Santa, Joe Pass 8. Let it swing: A Jazz Christmas with Verve 9. An Oscar Peterson Christmas On the more religious side: 1. Catholic Latin Classics - Richard Proulx and the Cathedra

Review of Calm Radio

I am returning to Spotify. Calm radio performance is not as claimed for me. My TV has better sound quality. Also, Calm radio customer service person who introduced himself in an email as President, blamed the failure on Sonos. Of course we Sonos customers know that Sonos is the best customer service in the market and solves problems almost instantly. I cannot access the Calm product. Atmospherics are unavailable. Customer service is a joke. They provide articles only. No phone is available for customer service that I could find. Then the President gave out my user name and password to a third party. And the list goes on to include the President emailing me telling me that if I post my experience with Calm radio that Calm radio will come after me with its legal team. I assume that his statement indicates that he operates in a totalitarian state. I canceled Calm radio. And as of this moment, I cannot access Calm radio even though Calm radio took my money for one month. Yet, Calm radio sa

Favorite Weekend Mashup or Playlist

Well everyone, it's Friday again! What's playing? For those of us in the US with a long weekend or anyone else taking one anyway, do you wind down the week or spin up the weekend? Maybe a little bit of both? Recommend a playlist or favorite album for the weekend or for just getting through the Friday. I've got some Bruce Springsteen playing myself right now. "Working on the Highway."

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 album right now in the bedroom on a play 1 pair and sounding very good indeed. Recently heard and equally good music and mastering: 1. Michel Petrucciani and NHOP 2. Beyond the Missouri Sky - Metheny and Haden 3. Chiaroscuro - Fresu and Towner 4. Jan Johannsen - Jazz pa Svenska 5. The Astounding Eyes of Rita - Anouar Brahem 6. Last Dance/Jasmine - Jarrett and Haden 7. Saturday Morning - Ahmad Jamal 8. Melos - Paolo Fresu All but the last are ITunes 256kbps purchases, the last a lossless CD rip. Very little lost in translation for the lossy thing and Sonos convenience. Any recommendations on similar music that uses the silence between the notes effectively?

Can I get everyone's opinion on alternative controllers for Sonos hardware?

I'm ready to explore other options as the new v5.0 'update' is a complete turd. Sonopad looked promising in the App Store, can I get everyone's opinion of which controller is the best? Sonos employees need not respond...

Spotify Connect, serious competition

Spotify today announced Spotify Connect, which will be a series of hardware from well-known hardware to seamlessly integrate spotify onto devices where the control is from the regular Spotify application on your phone or similar. Streaming is still done directly through internet, so the phone isn't in charge of it, just controls it. I really do hope that Sonos will follow this approach as well, I believe there are a lot more like me that primarily uses Sonos for Spotify, and being able to use the same app as always would be awesome. Seems like there is already a feature request over at ask.sonos.com [url]https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/support_spotify_connect_to_allow_users_to_use_the_spotify_app_as_the_controller[/url]

How old are you?

Something I've always been curious about, what's the average age of a Sonos owner? If you don't wanna share that's fine, I just thought it would be interesting to see how well me mix. Answer the poll anonymously and, if you wish, tell us your exact age. I just turned 31. :D
