Robin, it was my mistake, I thought the newest Play 5 had neither input jack nor headphone jack, but apparently the 3.5mm input is still there.

Hi, Oh dear now I'm confused sorry I thought they wanted an input jack not a headphone jack. the Play:5 still has an auxiliary 3.5mm input jack. I apologize for muddying the waters. Take good care.

Hi Robin, My very first S5 which is what the Play 5 was called when it was released I think in 2011 has both a 3.5mm input and 3.5mm headphone output. Maybe I have to retract my statement, I thought the Play 5 had neither an input nor headphone jack, but maybe it just doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone jack any more. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Robin Frost Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2018 1:26 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: I Want to Buy a HomePod But, ... Hi, You say the Play:5 doesn't have a 3.55 input but both the first gen and 2nd gen do at least the ones I've owned do. Have we gone to a third gen Play:5 already that hasn't one?

It's not that big a surprise to me that Apple's Homepod at this point supports Apple Music so I guess if you are not an Apple Music subscriber and you don't want to use Airplay to use your iPhone and whatever app such as Spotify or simply the music app then it's definitely not for you. Mark, I get it that you have an iPod Nano which has been discontinued for years, we all know that Apple is no longer supporting the 3.5mm jack and that the Homepod is not really meant to be used with wires so that is just what Apple has decided to do and it's up to everybody to like it or not. If it is not what you want there are other options, keep in mind that even Sonos does not really support wired inputs on almost all their players any more, only one I think that has it is the Connect, but all the stand-alone speakers such as the Play 1, Play 3, Play 5 and the new Sonos 1 smart speaker don't have a 3.5mm input or an optical one for that matter. I guess wireless is just the way things are going and most of these companies assume you are using their ecosystem which in Apple's case means Apple Music. I for one wouldn't want to be without Apple Music. I don't actually listen to that much music any more, but my wife does so for us to have the family subscription just makes sense and while we could have a Spotify or Deezer subscription Apple Music is what we chose and it works great for us.
