Overwhelming evidence - Spotify connect needs fix on Play 5: gen 1.
I have 7 Sonos speakers all on the same network, only 1 is legacy. Only 1 has random dropout issues with Spotify.
As others confirm, Tidal and other services work fine. And given my 6 other new gen speakers work fine:
- it can’t be local network
- it can’t be Spotify data rate, given Tidal HD and other similar services work
Resetting speaker, re-linking Spotify all useless!
Truth is gen 1 products are no longer supported in reality else they’d have it fixed.
