It is 2010, and a) Sonos‘ expensive but cool networked music solution still has a 65,000 track limit, and b) reviewers of Sonos products almost universally fail to mention that limit either because they don’t know about it or think it is an unimportant detail.
What an uniformed point of view. The “average” person looking to put in a portable, take it with you when you move, reasonably high quality multi-room system isn’t going to have 60k music tracks.
Yes, some of us (myself included) crazies have 200k+ music libraries, but there are workarounds to that and no system is perfect.
The point of a Sonos system is that it’s simple. Very simple. My WIFE installed mine and set it up – I left in the morning and came back that night and she was listening to music in multiple rooms.
Bashing a system for a single, 1% of the population even cares limitation is like saying you don’t like to drive a lexus because you don’t like the hood ornament.
Sheesh.
I disagree with Jeff, it’s more like a Lexus with a speed limiter at 75mph. Sure, it works fine for most people, but the discriminating consumer wants, expects, and deserves the full performance of their purchase. As Sonos gains customers and as the music collections for the majority will continue to grow larger, this issue constitutes an escalating probability of dissatisfaction with Sonos in both overall quantity and percentage of customers. In short, this needs to be fixed!
