I know there’s been a lot of very deserved shit on #Sonos about the state of their “new” app but honestly… how was album art not a v1 feature?!

Hmm interesting email text #Sonos sends out about its app. Note the reference to the visually impaired. I can't verify what those improvements might be but there we are. Begin quoted text: "Hi Robin,
We've been working hard on enhancing the new Sonos app to make it a better experience than ever before. We've updated features for smoother performance and an even better way to control your Sonos system.
Recent iOS and Android updates include:
• Improved scrolling behavior in search results
• Ability to snooze an alarm within app
• Continued improvements to volume responsiveness within the app
• Local music libraries will display album art
• Improved navigation for visually-impaired customers"
Streaming-Pläne auf Eis: #Sonos zieht bei "Pinewood"-Projekt den Stecker. Die Box befand sich bereits in Beta-Tests. Stattdessen konzentriert man sich nun auf Software-Verbesserungen und das Audio-Kerngeschäft. https://winfuture.de/news,149526.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Sonos is now forcing me to create an account for a software update for the speakers. The app no longer works, the update is required, and the creation of an account is required.
What nonsense. Fuck you Sonos. I just want airplay speakers not your walled garden.
#Sonos kämpft nach App-Debakel um Vertrauen: Neuer CEO Tom Conrad leitet Umstrukturierung ein. Umsatz und Gewinn sinken, Verkaufszahlen auf Tiefstand.

Sonos wagt den Sprung ins Streaming-Box-Geschäft: "Pinewood" soll Apple TV & Co. Konkurrenz machen. Mit HDMI-Eingängen und nahtloser Integration ins Sonos-Ökosystem plant man Großes. #Sonos #Streaming https://winfuture.de/news,148625.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Re: Last boosted post, considering that #AppleTV is fully #Accessible to the #Blind and considering that the #Sonos app is still a cluttered heap of nonsense no I'm not interested in this but will happily read about others testing it out.
@itsfoss Jellyfin is great!
Now if old Sonos units could just be turned into "normal" speakers, it'd be even better ...
Sonos Zukunft ungewiss: Von "Apple der Lautsprecher" zum Übernahmekandidaten. Fehlgeschlagenes App-Update führte zu massivem Wertverlust. Verwaltungsrat prüft Optionen. #Sonos https://winfuture.de/news,148271.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

@veedems Hmm interesting to know there are third party apps one can use. Trouble is if there's no trial I hesitate for fear it won't be #Accessible with #Voiceover for the #Blind. Well yay I'm glad hashtag use serves me well and doesn't get me in trouble as I know they annoy some. Do you have #Sonos speakers yourself then?
It has to be me. I just cannot figure out how to see all of the #SiriusXM channels when accessing it in the #Sonos app. Makes me wonder why I'm paying for #SiriusXM. And it makes me wonder if people have multiple pair of Apple Homepods or Beats Pill speakers can you group them together to play something throughout your home as you can with #Sonos?
To those out there who have #Sonos systems I'm reading conflicting reports as to whether to keep using the no longer produced Sonos Boost on modern Mesh network systems. Some say yes, some say no. I'm using an #EeroMax7. Is there a definitive answer? The more I read the more confused I become. Thanks in advance for your enlightenment for me.
Sonos' App-Chaos geht weiter: Verbesserungen erst 2025 in Sicht. Nutzer kämpfen mit Lautstärkeproblemen und träger Bedienung. Vertrauen schwindet. #Sonos #SmartHome https://winfuture.de/news,147448.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Well it wouldn’t even open for me, black screen with #Sonos logo for a few seconds before it crashed back to the Home Screen.
Deleted and reinstalled the app, seems marginally faster than before. But still feels slower than the previous app. I’ll stick with PlexAmp for now.

This is the Sonos card in #HomeAssistant playing from Tidal through #MusicAssistant
This has been working very well lately. I don't have to fuck around with the #Sonos or Tidal apps at all, both of which are pretty painful to use.
