Sonos is down… - eviltoast

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.

    Physical disks can be challenging to find nowdays. I buy my music from bandcamp, steam and other similar sites. Then, just like you, I put them on my Jellyfin for strearming to my devices.

    I don’t think i’ve spent more money than someone that’s subscribed to spotify for 10years, plus i’ve got ownership over the media i’ve purchased and most of my money when to the artists.
