Go back to buying CDs, DVDs and Bluray disks. Escape the trap.
The old Sonos solution worked well with CDs. Rip them to a NAS. The Sonos would play them. No ads, no streaming over the internet, no recurring payments.
With ad supported streaming, it's no longer the nice product they are known for producing.

The current Sonos solution still works well with CDs and a NAS. We've got a decent selection of ripped music on a Synology NAS and it'll happily play that content on the Play:Ones we have dotted around the house with no ads, no streaming over the internet and no recurring payments.
