Man, it's a speaker. Get Bose or something similar - they'll just keep working without strings attached/tracking/on-the-road/etc forever. ps. I'm happily usin

  Sonos doesn’t have tracking. That’s my entire point. And it’s extremely ironic you call Bose “no strings attached”, that’s what Sonos is about in the most literal sense. You pay a huge premium in trade for less wires, great multi-room audio, decent sound and a long support timeline. I will say that I hope Sonos and Google bury the axe at some point, and the Cast (or at least DIAL) protocol gets added.

    On the planet I live on, Sonos does obnoxious tracking. There is no direct communication between client and speaker at all - everything calls/is routed via home. Moreover client on mobile requires and will refuse to run setup until you grant it precise location permissions. It's a spaghetti of strings attached. Bose and other bluetooth speakers don't have any strings attached because: * you don't have to be connected to the internet to use it * you don't have to have account with them to use it * you don't have to grant tracking permissions to use it * manufacturer can decide to discontinue product or go bankrupt - it doesn't matter, you can still use product as you did before, you're unaffected * you don't have to worry about software deprecation - new versions of sonos client for iOS require recent versions of Apple devices - you can't install client on older phones/tablets to use your speaker
