Patrick Spence video - recommitting to qualify, free extended warranties

He also might forgo a future bonus. Courage. Extended warranties are for soundbars and plugin speakers currently in warranty. Something about a quality ombudsman. Trigger warning - ~3 mins of Spence talking lol

Upgrade and equipment compatibility with S2 app

I have old generation 1 equipment operating on S1 app (playbar, subwoofer, 2 connect amps, play 1 and play 5. One of the connect amps powers 2 passive speakers. I plan to get new arc for TV upgrade so I think I will need to get 2 amps to achieve system compatibility with S2 app. My question is will old sub , play 1 and play 5 work effectively on S2 app or do I need to replace those speakers as well. Finally will upgrading old subwoofer enhance overall sound. all sugesstions are welcomed.

hate the new app!

I’m so disappointed by the new app. It’s terrible to search. We cannot stand it!! Trying to figure out how to find music anymore?? It’s confusing all over the place. Is such a lousy platform. I used to be happy and excited to tell people that I had Sonos and now I’m embarrassed.

Poor customer service

Sonos customer service needs major upgrade. Product didnt work when i received. Receiving run around by sonos. chat and phone call resulted in no action. Put in for advanced return but not received replacement. Elevated to level 2 but link they sent doesnt work. Beyond disappointing with a company that charges high prices but doesnt stand behind their products. Looks like many customers having same experience with sonos.

I am getting rid of Sonos crap

how many times will we support Sonos abruptly setting new rules that makes the products that we own and paid for unable to be used. there was the change from S1 to S2 they finally reverted by maintaining the old app, and now the new crappy app that simply offer LESS features than the previous one. This is in their DNA, sorry I don’t want to be on the hook with this kind of company. It might be attracting for a business to be able to stop their customers enjoying their product forcing them to buy new ones, but not for me.

App amd Firmware updates have made all my speakers near worthless ! Am i alonr!?

Since the New ‘improved’ app came out and the latest firmware releases All my speakers are horribly unreliable.I also can no longer stream Apple music . i have removed and reset and reinstalled and factory reset and re-added and reregkstered and still extreme disfuntion. heck for a while my beam and Sub mini were coming on and off at extreme volumes and was incredibly annoying ( hard power cycle has seemed to help that one ) I am to the point i may take them all to Goodwill and let some other poor soul experience these things . Surely, i am not the only one !!! I know sorry i won’t call you Shirley…

I can’t believe with the technology out there the upgrade is worse than what it was. Skipping a song or adjusting the volume takes 30 seconds and we have a great WiFi connection. Can you please fix asap? It’s terrible

New App Layout and Design

I wanted to provide feedback on the new app layout and design. It would be ideal to have everything on 1 screen in quadrants. I find you have to drill down too many levels and then all the way back to get to the “Home Screen” and the Search Bar. Music Services in 1 quadrant with the search bar always present, 2nd quadrant for what is playing now with ALL the controls, 3rd quadrant for all the devices/rooms you have that can be turned on and off or have their volume adjusted. Lastly, the 4th quadrant for your personal playlists/recently played. Touching 1 quadrant expands it to have all the details you have now in the various sub-menus but it eliminates drilling down. All controls in the app now accessible from 4 quadrants - simple and clean.

Interesting product, but as with all of these types of soundbar I'd really want to listen to it before making a decision.[img]d72f53a9-dd91-47e4-8a2e-32e4b02c120e.png[/img] http://www.yarra3dx.com/

Echo integrated to Firetv...incite into Sonos integration

Yes, another Alexa topic. I thought about adding this to one of them, but I thought it would get buried and was worthy as a separate point. A couple days again, Amazon setup an integration between Echo and FireTV. That may be a little confusing since both use Alexa, but the idea is that you can give a command to an Echo to perform an action on a FireTv. Here are the basics of the new feature. -Setup requires that you pair a specific named echo device to a specific firetv. I would assume that would typically be where you have both tv and echo in the same room. You can use certain devices that use Alexa, like an fire tablet, app, or another firetv, to control firetv. Makes senses as it would add complications and defeat the main value of the integration. - Basic commands are to search, play, pause, resume, and launch an app. Additionally features are there for the Element TV with firetv built in. - You don't need to denote your command to firetv. In other words, if

Sonos, Synology and iTunes playlists

Please bear with me here for a bit. I have the majority of my music in ALAC form on a Synology NAS and I'm successfully accessing it through a Sonos Connect that is attached to an audiophile speaker system. Separately, I have a lot of music that's accessible via iTunes on my MacbookPro, some of which is ALAC and some of which is whatever Apple provides when you stream music (or download it?) from Apple Music. In preparation for a New Year's Eve party, I've been gathering about 100 songs onto a Dance playlist in iTunes that I want to play through our sound system on NY Eve. Probably about half of the songs are ones already on my NAS in ALAC form and half of them would be ones that I've accessed through Apple Music and/or have purchased on iTunes but not uploaded to the NAS. Here's my question: What's the best way for me to be sure that my iTunes Dance playlist music is available via my Sonos Connect? I am perfectly happy to purchase all the tracks I don't already own and up

Interesting. The standard version of these were being rhapsodized over by the "audiophile" press a year or two ago. Now they're available as a pricier alternative to the Play:5. http://referencehometheater.com/press-release/kef-announces-release-ls50-wireless-complete-fully-active-system/ [img]62405a09-fb7a-4ab0-97a0-01c589decc6d.jpg[/img]
