I get what you’re saying, but Sonos works differently than a normal speaker. It is playing the music, not your other device. The app is a control. So if you turn on music and leave with your phone, the music keeps going. When other people connect, they see your music and services, not theirs. It’s its own thing - not just a speaker.
That said, your point about, “will it continue to work if sonos, the company, is shut down?” Is a valid one.
- subway 8y agoI'm not sure why any of the things you describe require a Sonos operated service. An app on the smartphone should be able to communicate directly with your Sonos via Bluetooth or local WiFi. The Sonos can then (over the local protocol) inform the app of what services and media are available on that Sonos unit. A not-so charitable guess would be that Sonos keeps close tabs on what you listen to.
- mynewtb 8y agoAll you described is local network, no need to involve the internet.
- ModernMech 8y agoIt works by streaming the music from the internet. If it's just on a local network, it has no source of music.
- JackCh 8y agoYou don't have music on your local network?
- ModernMech 8y agoNo, I don't. All of my music is on the cloud.
