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.
I have barely anything to add to that. Awesome thoughts. Sonos has since fallen out of grace with me as well (same as apple) but I own both brands still since I don’t throw things away if I can help it and exchanging them rn would only hurt me. So I try to make do until the very last moment and then I will switch. I’m stubborn like that.
Speaking of old music: I’m a violinist and mostly listen to bach (mostly performed by hilary hahn). I have visited two of her concerts and plan on buying her album(s) on vinyl once I get wifi on my vinyl player. Other than that its mostly CCR. So old music is my favorite as well.
Thank you very much for elaborating. I’ll see to it that I at least have a fall back library soon. :)
