Hey, Just got my hands on a Sonos 1st generation speaker and curious about its compatibility with the latest streaming services and updates. Any Sonos veterans here who can share their experiences with the 1st gen model? Are there any specific limitations or tips for optimizing its performance in 2023? Also, seeking recommendations for the best music streaming platforms that seamlessly sync with this Sonos device. Any insights from the Sonos community would be higly appreciated!

Recommendations might be different for different speakers. Which first generation device did you get?

For instance, there’s one recommendation for a first gen PLAY:1 (there is only one generation), but wildly different for a first gen PLAY:5 ( of which there are two generations).

Streaming services is pretty much whatever you normally use, just add your account to Sonos, and away you go. 


There’s a list of available music/audio services for Sonos here:
