It has been bizarre watching this debacle from the sidelines. I must have bought just on the recent side of whatever demarcation of problems are being complained about. My app works fine. My speakers work fine. The worst problem we have is rarely the music pauses, we're unsure why, and we just hit play again. I'm wondering if there is some functionality I am not aware I'm missing or if it is limited to older models that I am simply not experiencing the problems with?

Do you use the Sonos app itself? Most of my friends with Sonos just use Spotify/Apple music and skip the Sonos app altogether. It sounds like the app update was pretty horrible though - no ability to even _queue music_. But easily sidestepped by just using Spotify.

  We have multi-room, so I use the Sonos app for EQ between speakers. Sometimes for starting a station from Pandora or playlist from Spotify. If we need more control over the music, we go to the Pandora or Spotify apps themselves, but Sonos for the speakers. I guess I didn't use the old one so I don't know what I'm supposedly missing.

I spent truckloads of money on home theater and audio systems and have been quite happy with my Sonos. I have the Sub, The original big play bar and some 1s and I have a record player that plays to sonos and then upstairs I have an Arc. I've probably got 10 years on this system now and couldn't be happier. I remember having to replace my receivers 2-3 times in a 10 year time frame from failed circuits to needing HDMI to needing a newer HDMI and all that jazz. My play bar has just been optical out from the TV and it's supported 5.1 audio realy well. I use the spotify play direct. I'm not a huge fan of the newer app and I wasn't impressed with them EOL'ing products. With that said, it's been wife and kid approved. Everyone in the house knows how to use it and its been problem free. No wires for my cat to chew on.
