This has been my fav app, thank you Pascal.
Sonos' strategy of moving their services to the cloud has been a gamble. Not only there were so many things to break, it blurred the line, as Sonos moves away from being a hardware supplier that was rock solid, to effectively another cloud based services provider with some hardware which you don't actually own. Sonos can and do shut down hardware, (if you upgrade), make it obsolete or otherwise have complete control over it. It's still good gear, but you don't own it, you can independently control/use it.

Coming to the same conclusions, and am beyond disappointed with Sonos as a company overall. Pretty upset off that I am so invested in this platform now, with roughly 7 speakers and an obsolete Connect amp. The way I use them right now is pretty much exclusively via the Spotify app as the Sonos android app is so unreliable.

To add to that, I wish for things like the hardware they basically de-commissioned, they would just open a pathway to self maintain / hack it with a custom ROM or similar. That way we could at least use the hardware we paid for
