Nas drive

I’ll be setting up my WD My Cloud PR2100 this weekend. I’ve transfered all my files from my old-n-slow Mac to an external hard drive. I have a new laptop that I’ll be setting up this weekend. So my question is after I set up the Nas will I be able to transfer my music & photos over to Nas using the external hard drive? Or do I need to transfer them from ex hard drive to laptop first? And how does Plex come into play with the transfer?

Different users Youtube Music

Hello, we have a Youtube Music family subscription (since Google Music dissapeared unfortunately). When my wife uses the SOnos app on her phone to search for her playlists, she only sees mine. She has her own Youtube account, but for some reason Sonos only shows mine. How can I solve this?

Samsung QE65QN95A - Arc - On Screen Volume Display

Hi,I’ve recently upgraded my TV from a Samsung UE65KS9000 to a Samsung QE65QN95A.  While my old TV allowed me to discreetly turn up the audio using my Sky Q controller - it never showed the awful OSD for the volume Samsung have, the new one does it regardless.Does anyone know of a way to turn the volume of the arc up without activating the OSD?  Even if I use the Sonos App the OSD displays.  I wish Samsung gave you the option to disable this!  Any suggestions\help would be appreciated.All the best,Paul.

I'm on Android app 10.3 (old S1 kit) & need to stay-What Windows10 version should I install on PCs ?

Following THIS POST which is now closed for comment:I’m in a similar place with old S1 kit and v10.3 of the android app on my Nexus7 mkII tablets, which keeps me going just fine.I’ve got a couple of Windows 10 64-bit machines that could do with a Windows Sonos controller on-board- but I still need to avoid any system updates that would make my Nexus 7mkII controllers useless.Do I need an old Windows version to prevent updates ? If so, which version and where can I download it to install?For info:On this desktop, I am still running the Windows controller v 10.3The laptop has no Sonos software.I can see the Sonos site has an S1 Windows download (currently SonosDesktopController1126.exe)I also have SonosDesktopController103_0675797637.exeandSonosDesktopController1061_3385173777.exeandSonosDesktopController112.exefiles available.

itunes song Volume Adjust in Sonos

Does iTunes song Volume Adjust setting carry over to Sonos? I'm playing from Apple Music in the Sonos app. I have some acoustic tracks in a playlist that need to be raised. I have increased the individual song volume in options. Will it also be increased through the Sonos app?

Audio streaming intermittent drop out - Netgear GS108 Gigabit Switch looks to be the cause

After having streaming dropouts for a week or two I checked out the Sonos page on incompatible hardware and found my recently purchased and installed gigabit switch was incompatible.  I plugged my Boost back into the router rather than the switch and all perfect now.

Problem to connect Sonos app on iPhone12

I replaced my Bridge with Boost and updated to S2. I have installed the system and yesterday it worked with my iPhone 6 and iPad 4. My iPhone 12 cannot find the system in the Sonos app. There is no problem to play with Spotify. Today also the iPad has lost connection with Sonos. I have allowed integrity/local network.

Spotify

The Spotify account is my account. My wife uses it through her Sonos app on her phone. I use Spotify throughout the day while I’m at the office and/or car. My wife will be at home using Spotify through the Sonos app. I’ll be at the office using Spotify through the Spotify app, and we cut each other off. We can’t both be using it, even though we’re in 2 different locations. Any thoughts or does she have to have her own Spotify account?

Rain Rain app on Playbar?

I love the Rain Rain app with its library of soothing sounds that I play from my Apple XS. How do I connect (wired or preferably wireless network that Playbar is connected to) from iPhone XS to Playbar? Airplay is integrated into Rain Rain. I have a Vizio smart TV as well.

Sonos Radio HD New Station Notifications

Call me crazy but would love to receive some kind of notifications on new stations being added and/or being removed whether in app in the email box or another way. Think it would help in promoting it to the masses as well. Also, having some way to “review” stations whether 1-5, thumbs up or down, or sometimes, often, alot or never would be nice. I know Sonos gets the usage numbers but it would be nice to have some direct input as well.

Music Library connection to NAS workround

I have had problems connecting to my Synology NAS. Having tried looking for an answer on the web and getting nowhere I phoned Sonos and after an hour I was no further forward. I eventually found a workaround , not a solution. I found if I unplugged my two One SLs and connected to the NAS Library using the Play 1 which worked correctly. If you try the play music from the One SLs you end up loosing the music again and have the access denied message. However, if you play the music from the Play 1 and link either or both One Sls to the Play 1 you can play the music. The One SLs can only play whatever is playing on the Play 1. At least I can play my music. Hopefully this might get sorted some time, but not holding my breath.

Stream internet audio through Sonos?

Is it possible to stream internet audio from a MacBook through Sonos? Specifically, is it possible to stream audio from a website accessed on a MacBook, through either a PlayBar, or a Sonos Connect? When I open AirPlay on my MacBook, it shows another set of Sonos speakers I have (Play 5), but it doesn’t show either a PlayBar, or a Connect system I also have.If this isn’t supported directly in the Sonos app, are there any third-party apps that might do it?There are a number of old, closed threads on this topic, but I couldn’t find answers in any of them. Thank you!

Help me recognize your Android notification icon, looks too much like an eBay notification

When glancing at my phone, I keep mistaking the Sonos notification icon as an eBay notification. Maybe update it with fillets (i.e. rounded corners) like your actual devices. Maybe even a capital “S” like your logo. regards

fixed - iPhone not recognizing system on S2 app after iOS14 update

I’ve managed to resolve my issue with the Sonos app not finding the system over WiFi after updating iPhone to IOS14. Posting it in case it helps anyone else struggling with this issue. All other solutions I found online ie rebooting router, changing network privacy setting, unplugging speakers, uninstalling and reinstalling app etc all failed for me.  Apparently an additional privacy feature introduced by IOS14 was the use of a private address when connecting your iPhone to a WiFi network. This option can be found by selecting your WiFi network on your phone.  I turned this off and the Sonos app immediately worked.

Apple High Res for Sonos

Apple have just announced CD quality and 24bit high resolution lossless playback for Apple Music coming in June 2021. Is Sonos going to be able to play these lossless files direct from Apple Music like Tidal?
