Sonos Radio HD

March 2nd?

Damn, I am leaving for Mars on March 1st

Thanks for nothing, Tom and Ed

I’ve never used Sonos radio. Is this a subscription app, or do you need Sonos hardware to utilize?

From what I can tell, it sounds sort of like a free internet radio / pandora-like hybrid. You can pay for  more features, such as replaying songs, ad-free, exclusive content.

Also, that their HD service, according to their graphic, is just an increase in amplitude

Fractionally higher pitched, too. Nice.

Oh cool this means they save us time by making the songs faster

I don't know Sonos at all, I wonder what form this will take?
Will this be basically a DJ mix?

There's no way to get a digital only subscription to Sonos Radio HD. You have to have a Sonos hardware device (which I'm not interested in) to access it. Has anyone listened to this station and is it any good?

The station isn't available until March 2nd.


Just listening to the first few minutes of Bjork Sonos Radio Hour here: https://www.mixcloud.com/sonos/

At the beginning there is an interview and then she takes control with her handpicked selections.

The host (which did the interview) at the end says to check out Bjork station on Sonos Radio. So I think there is literally a specific station dedicated to Bjork's handpicked selections. But it does seem like it will be only accessible through hardware though.

It would awesome to have some clarity on this...

... and a possible discount code to purchase a speaker (if this is the whole point of all of this)!

 

So no further news on this..... hmm ok

csar, thanks for cleaning up the twitter link

Suprised by that mix, wouldn't have linked the Brothers with dub/reggea. Now i want Mad Professor remixes of all tunes the Brothers have released with guest vocals on it.

Yes please.

This Dub mix was just lovely.

I can't wait for the summer months. This will be perfect for my adventures out on the trail when the sun is blazing.

Can't wait for their hardcore mix based on Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front and/or Biohazard

Yes, it's a lovely mix!
