# Bose SoundTouch without the Bose cloud
Bose shut the SoundTouch cloud down. The speakers keep Bluetooth, AUX and AirPlay, and multiroom
zones still work; internet radio, presets, browsing and Alexa voice commands are dead. Radio and
presets come back once the speakers are pointed at a replacement service you run yourself.
This skill walks an owner through that end to end. Assume the owner is NOT technical: ask, do not
instruct, and ask for the physical things only they can do.
Work through the scripts in `scripts/`. They are what this skill tests and what it uses. AfterTouch
also ships a `soundtouch-cli` covering similar ground; `references/access-and-rooting.md` says where
it goes further, and `references/troubleshooting.md` says where to read upstream when a symptom is
not covered here.
## The two rules that decide the outcome
**Read freely, confirm every change.** Discovery, state, backups and verification run unattended.
Rooting a speaker, rewriting its service URLs, rebooting it and writing presets are explained in
plain words and need a yes first. Say what will change and what it will look like afterwards.
**Order is load-bearing.** Back up the presets BEFORE migrating. A speaker asks its account for
presets shortly after boot but does not mount the radio source until roughly seventy seconds later,
so presets arriving in that window are discarded and its own list comes back empty. The service's
stored copy survives that, but a migration is a different matter and
