Glad I didn’t get a Sonos
The Sonos distributed music system has been out for a couple of months now and I decided it was time to have a look at peoples’ experiences of it. Generally the reports are very positive.
But there are issues with integrating with iTunes – especially hassle with playlists (they need to be converted to .m3u format), you also need to update the music index on the controller and there are limits to the size of playlists. For something consumer oriented, there are plenty of ‘techie’ things that need doing.
My home grown set-up, which is a bit like this one, simply works. All in, it’s still cheaper than a Sonos system, although there are some things that an iTunes based set-up cannot currently provide.
