“What is the deal with version 1 versus version 2? If I buy this and update the app, will my old 5 no longer work? I had heard older versions of Sonos products might no longer work with the new app.”

Old equipment should work. My brother in law is doing that. New app is to support their pay music app by Sonos. It also added functionality for SiriusXM, Apple Music etc. I believe the new app was need for arc and Dolby atmos.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, and thank you very much for your question. Earlier this year we released our S2 platform. Some of our older products just don't have the processing power needed for future updates. However, we didn't want to cause speakers that our longest, and most loyal customers have owned for years to stop working. So we have both apps available for use. If can still use your older products that are only compatible with S1 if you buy this products, however they will have to be on a different system. So they would not be able to be grouped with any of our products that you put on S2. The Sonos 5 is only S2 compatible. It depends which Play 5 you have on whether it can be put on S2 or not. So to be clear, regardless you'll be able to use your old products, they just may have to be separated from anything else that's on S2 if they are on S1.
