I agree BBC introduced the issue by changing the technology, although they
=
did give notice 9 months ago I believe.

It is a standards based stream supported by many vendors, Sonos seem to
hav=
e been slower than others to adopt.

The last 2 pages of comments on the link in my previous post are the
releva=

After reading that post it looks more like a BBC issue than a Sonos one.
Us=
er comments also refer to problems with these non-standard streams on
other=
hardware like Pure Evoke and Ruark Audio too.=20

=20

Lots of the first page of comments in that thread also seem to relate to
an=
unrelated general outage of the mp3 streams which was a BBC issue and now =
fixed.

It's one of those 'just works' products and It's probably the only other
