Another Sonos update coming: iOS4 and iOS5 devices no longer compatible

Innovating the ultimate home listening experience

We are reaching out to inform you we will discontinue Sonos control support for iOS4 and iOS5 devices, including the first generation iPad, iPhone 3G and the second and third generation iPod touch.

Reason:
Sonos continues to invest in their vision and are committed to delivering customers all the music on earth in the simplest, most intuitive ways at home. Committed to continually improve the home music listening experience, Sonos must make decisions that balance their need to innovate with a desire to maintain support for older devices – in this instance, those running iOS4 and iOS5.

Change:
In the coming months, Sonos will release a software update to all Sonos customers with new features for the system. From this point on, iOS4 and iOS5 devices, will no longer function as Sonos controllers.
When this update is installed on a device in the household, the Sonos system will no longer be able to connect to the devices mentioned. The update is irreversible.

Support:
Consumers that have questions can be directed to Sonos.com/support for more information.

Other ways to control:
Download the app on another device or update to any of the following compatible controller devices:

  • iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad running iOS6 or higher
  • Android phone and tablets running Android 2.1 and higher
  • Desktop controllers: Mac running OS X 10.6.8 or greater, PC running Windows® XP SP3 or higher, Windows Vista™, Windows 7, Windows 8.

Engine Studio in Rockford

Over the past couple of years I have worked with another Doug...Doug Connell, who owns and operates Rockford-based Engine Studio.  Doug and his staff work on corporate and museum exhibits as well as audio and video mixing, editing and voice overs.  I've helped them by supplying some audio and video components for various exhibits including Burpee Museum in Rockford and the National Czech and Slovak Museum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  If your company is looking for such services and scope of work give Doug at Engine Studio a call.  Tell Doug that Doug sent you.  www.enginestudio.org

Read about the story behind the Engine Studio logo on their website.

Enjoy movies outdoors too.

Add a projector and sound system to this cool outdoor overhead canopy and screen. We sell and install these systems with a variety of projector options available, depending on your application.

UPDATE: Music services available on Sonos music systems

Hi everyone-

With the addition of Google Play on the Sonos I thought I'd update everyone on the available music services now available on Sonos' music systems.  See the attached pdf of the services, their bit-rate (the higher the number the better the sound quality) and cost (some are monthly subscription costs, some are free). Questions? Give me a call or drop me an email at hearmoremusic@gmail.com. Enjoy.

Sonos update. Google Play is live.

Check your Sonos app and it will now be asking you to update.  Once you update you will see the newest music service available on Sonos...Google Play!  Now you will find Google Play in your Music Menu under More Music.
