I have joined the mainstream

This is the Wiim Mini clone that I use in the kitchen.
Works well over wifi, better SQ than Sonos.
(needs Twonky on a WD MyCloud).

Sonos have announced a software update coming on 22nd of July in which local network libraries will again be accessible for their devices.

I wonder how many customers this blunder has cost them?

Good to hear but I am not holding my breath. As well as the NAS I would like access to be restored to my Qobuz favourites and play lists.

For me it is third system, with a good app a big attraction, but for others it is state of the art where convenience over rides everything else. Sure it has lost them a lot of customers and potential customers

It is the 22nd and I still can't access my NAS and Qobuz libraries.

In the Google app store, the latest version has this in the fixes:

Added setup, configuration, and search for local Music Library

Don't know if you can just run an update on the app or have to reinstall it completely.

Sonos are getting heavy criticism about their app controllers, Let's hope they learn from this fracas.

Have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. A waste of time. Sonos seem to be burying their head in the sand and I'm sure it is costing them dearly. Can see a lot of their equipment going cheap on the second hand market.

Two things changed recently…

The SMB level was changed, SMB 1 is no longer supported. Your NAS will hopefully have a setting for this, have a look and see if it’s already using SMB2/3 if not toggle it on.

The next major change was the way how the app discovers devices on the network, it now uses mDNS. In your router admin page there might be an option to turn mDNS (or anything that says multicast) on. Worthwhile also to see if there is a setting that says IGMP Snooping or IGM Proxy... turn it on.

I will have to look at the settings on my NAS. Nearly all my listening on the Sonos system comprises Qobuz streams post loudness wars. The effects of severe compression and brickwalling are far less noticable than on the main system. With regard to Qobuz there has been progress since yesterday. The list of my favourite artists has now appeared. However it is in chronological order and there is no option to change to alphabetical.

Imagine my surprise when being dragged around Marks and Spencer today.
Sedately playing in the background was Steely Dan’s “ Dirty Work”.
I have joined the mainstream in the extreme!

Sonos apologise at last.

Although progress has been made they still have some way to go regarding the restoration of local libraries.
