Hi folks!

I have a sonos system from my pre self hosting days and it’s much too expensive to exchange for something else atm.

Since today, I can’t use my music subscriptions anymore and I don’t have any music stored locally. Reason is a giant service outage at sonos.

I know, it’s the classic argument for cutting the cord. My question now is, how would you do it? Just pirate music since I have a subscription and am entitled to listen to music?

Btw. the issue is with sonos cloud services so the music services are available everywhere but in sonos. If I had a way to stream music from apple or amazon in my homenetwork, sonos should be able to pick it up.

Also, what do people do with sonos products? Do they get jailbroken/rooted or is that not a thing?

Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

    If you want to drop Sonos entirely, there’s still a market for even their S1 line of products. eBay time!

    I’d like to piggyback on this as I inherited tons of S1 gear (4 Amps, 6 Connects) from a client years ago that I’m considering installing when I move…

    The big selling point for me is its ability to seamlessly group zones together. For anyone who has achieved that without Sonos, what are you using? I need 2 (or more) sources that can be played at the same time in different zones and I absolutely do not want volume controls on the wall.

    [Edit] I also love having my local and streaming sources in the same app as my zone selection
