I was just sitting in my studio, recording this week’s Living Blindfully, when “ding dong”, that’s my impression of the doorbell ringing ya see.
So I ran up the steps from my little studio to the door, to be greeted by a friendly Internet-selling person. Said person then asked me whether anyone was home who used the Internet, obviously concluding that there was no point trying to sell Internet service to the blind guy.
I seized my chance, said we didn’t have that here and didn’t need it, and off they went on their way. Now perhaps there was an educational opportunity here, but hey, it saved me a lot of time so I could get back to my podcast which will be uploaded via the Internet I can’t use.

Blind Sonos users have an important and rare opportunity to make our presence felt and our displeasure heard about the massive #accessibility regression in the new mobile apps.
Next Tuesday 14 May between 2 and 5 PM US Eastern time, three senior Sonos staff are conducting an “ask me anything” (AMA) session in the Sonos community. In attendance will be Diane Roberts, Senior Director of Software Development, Kate Wojogbe, Senior Director of User Experience, and Tucker Severson, Director of Product Management.
These are the key people in the company who agreed to the app being released in the inaccessible state it’s in, and they are the key people who need to take fixing it seriously.
Many people want to take some action that makes a difference. This is something you can do.
You can bookmark the page for the AMA. It is, https://en.community.sonos.com/events/sonos-app-redesign-ama-6
Try to become familiar with the forum before Tuesday, because while it isn’t completely inaccessible, it’s not the best and a little quirky. You should be able to sign in with your Sonos ID.
Perhaps compose your question thoughtfully ahead of time and have it on your computer, so you can paste it into the AMA when it goes live. It will not hurt for Sonos to understand how upset and inconvenienced many of us are by what they have done. We can do that firmly while remaining polite.
They need to understand, the best way to make us go away is to fix what they broke. We won’t be quiet until we get back what they took from us.
Happy contributing.
