Sonos Radio account needs to be reauthorized

I can’t search for radio stations currently.

The Sonos app says my Sonos Radio account needs to be reauthorized. When I click on Reauthorize it comes up with an error msg saying ‘Unable to reauthorize Sonos Radio account’.

ive deleted and reinstalled the Sonos app but that hasn’t worked. Can anyone help? Very frustrating!

With v12.2 it is no longer possible to remove Sonos Radio.

 

Guys, You need to update the speaker’s firmware as well, not only the Sonos app.

Ditto, same issues. I updated the Sonos app this morning - I had no choice - and no radio and received the ‘unable to reauthorize sonos radio account’ message.  I then deleted the app, re-installed, same issue/error. Any idea how this is brought to the attention of Sonos? 95% of my Sonos use is radio; without access to radio stations, no point having Sonos.

TuneIn works. ‘Sonos Radio’ is down and they - Sonos - know about it (if a chap on twitter is to be believed; he told me about TuneIn….).

Same issue for me, hope it is temporary.

Reinstalling the app changes nothing, as the config is in the speakers.

Instead Remove the Sonos Radio service using the app, then try re-Adding it back. That will cause the authorization token to be refreshed.

@Kargo9, Restarting the router, afterwards the Sonos speakers (one by one) might help.

Same in France, seems to be a Sonos Radio software glitch, not a hardware nor an app update issue.

“Sonos Radio account needs to be reauthorized” still a problem.  Tried removing Sonos Radio and now can’t add it back.  Nothing wrong with the rest of my LAN.  This problem started after performing the mandatory update when I signed in this afternoon.  I expect better from a premium product.
