Hi folks!
I have a sonos system from my pre self hosting days and it’s much too expensive to exchange for something else atm.
Since today, I can’t use my music subscriptions anymore and I don’t have any music stored locally. Reason is a giant service outage at sonos.
I know, it’s the classic argument for cutting the cord. My question now is, how would you do it? Just pirate music since I have a subscription and am entitled to listen to music?
Btw. the issue is with sonos cloud services so the music services are available everywhere but in sonos. If I had a way to stream music from apple or amazon in my homenetwork, sonos should be able to pick it up.
Also, what do people do with sonos products? Do they get jailbroken/rooted or is that not a thing?
Thanks for reading. Have a good one.
If you have no local music and no physical music media, you are pretty much out of luck.
I mean, when you subscribe to services you understand there is the possibility that the service might go unavailable at some point. Some times it's just temporary, but others are permanent (like Google Stadia).
I make a habit out of not relying on streaming services. If I really like something, music or video, I buy the physical disk.
Sorry, I don't have an answer or solution for you.
I rip my physical media and put it on my Jellyfin server, so I can stream it where ever I am.
This.
Having a subscription doesn't mean you have the right to pirate when the service goes down. You only own what you buy.
