Problem adding the Amazon music account

Anyone have any comments? Is there more info you need? Or am I posting in the wrong forum?

I've got exactly the same problem

... but the bigger problem is that no one from Sonos seems to reply to posts in this forum

I am having the same exact problem!!!

Have you checked these requirements?

FYI - All the Help pages were moved to a new platform about 4-5 months ago, so links in old posts won't work.

AJ,
Thanks for this link. Works great.
Problem is, when I go through the steps to add Amazon Music, it gets as far as "Name this service" I fill in the name and then it just sits there. It doesn't kick in the connection. Just hangs on the name screen.

Thats my issue.

Can you make sure that you aren't logged into any other Amazon accounts on your device.

@thomasbricker

Here are my suggestions...please follow them in order given...the first is quite obvious so no offense intended :8

1. Make sure your Amazon account is current (credit card used may have expired)
2. Delete the Sonos app
3. Reboot your router
4. Check that the software on your iOS or Android device is current
5. Re-install the Sonos app
6. Make sure you are entering the correct credentials for your Amazon account

Let us know if things are sorted out. Cheers!

I recently switched from a single unlimited plan through Apple App Store to a Family unlimited plan through Amazon itself. Is that what you are referring to?

I logged out and back in on Amazon Music. Im still not seeing it in My Sonos.

OK...assuming your account is up to date and you can log in and out make sure no one else is using the account during setup. You should be the only one logged in.

Also, did you follow the other steps I suggested?

Oddly, I had not seen the other steps. I will try them when I get a chance. Thanks for those.

Ok. I went through all the steps.
Its working!!
Thanks AJ!
There was an additional step of manually adding the subcategories to My Sonos. Now that I have, its all fine.
Another odd thing. I have 5 Amazon Accounts and 5 Apple Accounts. The Apple Music accounts are clearly labeled. the Amazon ones are not.
Can I delete these by contacting Amazon directly?

Good to know you got everything sorted out!

If the extra Amazon accounts are no longer needed I say deleting them is a good idea. You don’t want to pay for what you aren’t using.

I’m sure Amazon can help you. Make sure you are logged out of the accounts before you contact Amazon.

You may have (or want) to change the credentials on the account you want to keep so as not to lock yourself out after the others are deactivated assuming they have similar credentials. If you do you’ll have to setup the account again in Sonos using the new credentials.

Cheers!
