    That's nothing. 30 million tracks on Sonos by simply subscribing to one of the many great services, most of Wichita BlueSound doesn't support...

    Coukd be handy for people with that many tracks they own and have to have available all at the same time.

    I hardly buy CD's anymore literally six or so a year and rely on streaming services. Bluesound does have Spotify connect, Tidal, Groove Music, Qobuz, Deezer, Napster, Slacker and a few more services.

    I run Plex for streaming movies so it was quick to test on Sonos but found the experiance poor, luckily its not something I need.

    That's not enough?

    It's only 64k tracks if you have very simplistic tags - e.g. contemporary music. Anything more complex and you run out of store way before 64k tracks.

    More than plenty for me, but I suppose those that must have more have an option that is probably more expensive and is missing some features that Sonos has. Sonos has stated that these folk aren't their target market anymore so its either these alternatives or workarounds.

    I comfortably play through all of my 40,000 tracks each year and a half, so I still think that it is vaguely sensible to buy more, sort of .. if old habits die hard.
    If there were 4 or 5 music collectors in the household, it may hit 200,000 useful tracks maybe.

    I doubt very much you play 40,000 tracks ALL the way through each and every 18 months. At 3,5 minutes per track and 8 hours per day listening that would be 291 days solid listening. And that's not allowing time for working, toilet, shower, intimacy, washing the cats.
