If your saved SoundCloud tracks are suddenly refusing to play, you aren’t alone! Here is a quick heads-up on what’s going on and how to easily fix it.
The Issue
SoundCloud rolled out some backend system updates on Wednesday, March 11th. Because of these changes, any SoundCloud tracks you saved to your Sonos Playlists or Sonos Favorites before that update are now pointing to broken, outdated links.
If you are running into this, you’ll likely see generic error messages in the Sonos app, such as:
- “Could not play [name of song]. Try again.”
- “Failed to play content. Try again.”
The Fix
The good news is that your music isn’t gone; you just need to refresh the links. Here is the workaround:
- Delete the affected track(s) or playlist from your Sonos Favorites or Sonos Playlist.
- Search for the content again in the Sonos app.
- Re-add it to your favorites or playlist.
It is a bit of a manual process to recreate them, but doing this will update the links and get your music streaming smoothly again.
