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.

Sounds awesome. I have like 6 small speakers and a tv bar. Not ready to drop them rn since I too want to be able to listen to music taking a shower while my wife listens to something else in the living room. I'm pretty sure people will have figured this out somehow. Time to find some audiophile selfhosted community. :) Besides that, I tend to ask myself why does a service have no viable/selfhosted competition. Most times it is anticompetitive behavior afaik but we're unable to see it because they're discreet.
