Sonos Speakers

[Kat Kid]

what is a good airplay compatible speaker?

[michigancat]

no it doesn't

The hardware is fine but the interface for actually playing music is awful. Like, incredibly clunky and gross.

I'm guessing it's overpriced, too.

you're pretty much the only person in the world who feels that way so i guess you're just not a good software reviewer

I'm sure it's great if you want to set up your Morrissey Pandora station and forget it.

Sonos isn't Bang & Olufsen but it's a fine middle of the road consumer grade product.

must not ready for a power user like yourself.  for everyone else on the planet it works great.

Sorry you got ripped off, chump

feels pretty elite knowing how to use such a complicated software interface like the one sonos has built

[steve dave]

My entire crib is sonos stuff and I love it. Super easy to use. Does Spotify. That's all I care about.

[steve dave]

I have a shitload of apple products tho

[kim carnes]

Haha

[sonofdaxjones]

So connecting to a BlueTooth speaker(s) is hard?

Weird, seems, easy.

I like Sonos.  I can put on Spotify, a record, or a Royals game and play the audio in multiple rooms if I am cleaning or something.  Super easy to use. 

If you are a Tidal/lossless audio person then I'm sure you can do better for the money but a good mix of audio quality and convenience.

Royals radio newb here...do you stream the radio broadcast?  For free?

I usually listen to mp3's rather than spotify. A spotify playlist that you've already setup in spotify is fine. Making your own playlist from mp3's is a pain in the ass. If I could just stream something from my own player (like you can w/ a bluetooth connection) it would be fine.

Although someone in the office was trying to stream Lemonade via tidal and she couldn't figure out how to stop it from repeating the same song over and over. (could have been user error but that's 100% of users in my office that hate the interface)

[steve dave]

all of my mp3s got trashed like their CD predecessors

yeah, I'm a creature of convenience. when we built our house I had the entire place wired for sound. like 7.1 in the living room, wired for a central stereo deal in like an audio visual stack thing with our modem/router/NAS with speakers all over the place and crap. I know nothing about that stuff. LOL SONOS EVERYWHERE.

Chromecast audios are the new Sonos.  Hook them to whatever BA speaker you want.  Group them.  About to work with google home.   

[pissclams]

chromecast audios are not the new sonos and not even in the same ballpark as sonos but keep telling yourself that good grief

[Tobias]

big fan of wires here

[pissclams]

wires are for pussies

[Tobias]

<--- pussy

[star seed 7]

married to wires but wireless is my side bitch
