Controllers and Music services

HI   I want to listen to music on my PC and then be able to stream it wirelessly to my Sonos one speaker pair. However I can not find a way todo this and the only way is to stream it from my phone to the speakers or use the SONOS APP :-/ I use Amazon music on my PC and would ideally like to be able to send the output from Amazon (on my PC) to my Sonos speakers. At present I have to use my £19.99 speakers from Currys which do a far better job than my £500 pair from sonos.So in other words all I want todo is the most basic of tasks and that is play music on my PC and then onto my Sonos one speakers pair without having to use the  Sonos app and wirelessly. Can this simple task be achieved some how? Thanks

I have 7 devices and the system has been unstable for a few days. It drops rooms, sometimes it sends music though them, but they are not listed on the S1 controller on either mine or my wife's phones. I have reset the rooms that keep dropping, and the Linksys Velop WiFi net and it has not sorted the problem

S1 Controller /iMac running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6Manage Library Options are all greyed out and Sonos system not finding my iTunes Library anymore.  

I have 3 kids who have Amazon Music through a family plan. I want to add all of their plans to my Sonos so they can have their music available on our Sonos (several speakers through out the house).Every time i try to add a new service and log them in, it fails. It takes me to the Amazon login, i log them in and get this message (in red, so i assume it’s bad)“Your login can only be used on the Amazon Shopping app, or by logging in to Amazon.com online”Has anyone got their family accounts working? (not other adults, but your kids)Thanks,JM

We just created a number of playlists.  Only the first 8 show up on the iPhone app in the Favorites (the only place I seem to be able to find the playlists).

Fairly minor irritation but these loom large during lockdown (especially UK Tier 4).I use a Beam as my PC speaker so that when not watching movies on the PC I can have good sound quality for background music.  Most of the music I listen to is from my 600+ CDs ripped to .flac and served by Plex from a NAS.  Don’t know how many different artists there are but I usually select on artist rather than CD name and this is the root of my question.  On the Apple apps (have both iPhone and iPad) selecting by artist name is helped by an alphabet index link down the right hand side of the selection screen so getting to something like Van Morrison is quite painless.  This alpha link does not appear to exist on the PC app and scrolling through hundreds of artists is a pain.  I wonder: (i) is this a set up issue? or (ii) how do I make a request to Sonos to update the PC App?      

Does Sonos have an option to sort playlists alphabetically or by artist etc also is there an option to find duplicates in a playlist?As playlists can be created over many years it would be extremely helpful to have a feature like this?

When using the SONOS Move on Bluetooth, it would be a useful facility to be able to access playlists in the app to play music. As you can’t currently it means duplicating playlists in whatever streaming service you use. I dont think it would be too difficult to implement this change.

Where did the pause all devices button go when upgrading from s1 to s2?   Should be an option in system settings. 

Have anyone been experimenting with DJing with the Sonos systems. And I don't mean just hitting a playlist and letting it run. Like activity controling volume, what part of the song is playing, having 2 songs playing on individual speakers at the same time, playing around with treble and bass. I'm trying to see if I can throw in a mixer also to have a legitimate session, now Sonos has told me that running 2 tables(turntables) and then throwing in a mixer will cause to much latency. But I was thinking hardlineing a iPad or something into a speaker and using one of the various DJing app to possibly get some mixing elements into it.    My System: 2x Play:1 with the physical buttons and a last gen play:3 , I chose the music listening experience instead of TV because  I'm currently a college student also share your own systems to.     KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS, IDEAS , OR SHARE ANY OF YOUR EXPERIMENTS WITH THE SONOS      

I know the S2 app unlocks new Sonos features.  But does it make a difference in sound quality between S1 and S2 apps?

Quick question. Just getting everything setup and would like to understand one thing with respect to Apple Music. Assume I’m an Apple Music Subscriber and I’ve got it all setup correctly in Sonos S2.Here is the question:Within Apple Music, I have a song “downloaded” for offline listening. Inside the Sonos app, if I play that song, will it stream it from my iPhone to the Sonos device? Or will it stream it from the Apple Music server? Same question but lets say for an entire playlist. A playlist that I’ve created inside Apple Music. If I have told Apple Music to download the entire playlist to my iPhone, what will sonos do when I ask it to play that playlist? From within Sonos App.I’m actually hoping that for downloaded songs on my iPhone it still streams it from the Apple Music server. That way it won’t burn up my battery on my iPhone and will instead offload it to the device for streaming. It should be a choice I suppose. That way you could decide for various conditions what works best

Do a google search on <Sonus support ****>. I actually was stupid enough to believe your company was top notch, not, 1.4 rating. Lots of complaints. I’m going to sledgehammer all my sonus products to bits, place in a pile, douse with lighter fluid, light on fire while taking a video of it all and post it on SM sites and tell the world your products are a pile of xxxx. I’ll make sure to send you a personal copy.Edit: Offensive language removed 

S2 problem . The newly downloaded S2 controller keeps dropping my Play:5 device. I can't control the music in my house anymore. I've already been conned into upgrading to the new Play:5  the day before Sonos backtracked  by saying they would support older kit. We also have a Play:3 and that is not a problem. Sonos, I love the system but NOT the customer support. There are so many comments here about the failure of the S2.

Quick questions.If I airplay from my iPhone to multiple Sonos Speakers, does it only Airplay to one sonos device and then use the Sonos network to send it to the other sonos devices?Perhaps an additional question. If I have a group of Sonos speakers and the group is called say Family Room, do I have to airplay to each speaker in the Family Room Group? Or does the Family Room show up as one target and I just airplay to that? If the latter, I assume back to my original question, it will just airplay to 1 of the group members and use Sonos network to send it to the others, Right?I guess a third scenario is that I might have say 3 sonos speakers NOT grouped. In that case, if I Airplay to all 3, is it 3 seperate streams? Or just the 1 stream and use Sonos Network again somehow? I guess this is really question 1 just written more clearer. LOL.Just trying to understand what goes on under the hood. Prior to my Sonos setup, I was airplaying to multiple Airport Express targets and I’m pretty sur

If I set an alarm in the Sonos app, when the alarm turns on, I expect to see a Sonos screen on my device that allows me to snooze the alarm or switch it off. This only happens intermittently, is there a reason why? I am on v 10.5.2.

I recently changed from a WD MyBook to a Synology NAS.  I can access the Synology Music folder from my computers, phones, etc.  I cannot add the music library from Sonos.  I have the logon and password entered correctly.  I am getting a 900 error.  I have increased the IRPStackSize to 24 as instructed elsewhere in the Sonos Community.  I have added a user (“Sonos”) on my Synolgy DSM.  Still no success.  Any suggestions?

The volume of my spotify music is fluctuating up and down intermittently on its own.  The volume of my Apple TV is also dong the same thing from time to time. To my knowledge I do not have any Alexa enabled devices enabled on my system.  I cannot find the cause. I have a complex whole house system made up of many Sonos components. Please help, this is very frustrating.  Thank you!

Is Sonos S1 compatible with Big Sur

Since buying a Beam I can no longer stream music to my Apple TV in different room. I can select Apple TV from airplay menu but get no sound. Screen mirror works for images but not sound. Music streams to Sonos but not the Apple TV. Have restarted Apple TV, Phone and Router and still not working. Any advice would be great. 

I have lots of Sonos Playlists that also contain songs from Spotify.Are those songs explicitly against my Spotify account or, if I remove my Spotify account and replace it with another Premium account, will they still play seamlessly from the Sonos Playlists?

Hallo, after upgrading my system to S2 everything is working fine, but I am missing the most important feature (at least for me) within the app: In S1 it was possible to select a song from Google Play Music or Amazon Music and hit the “start radio”-Button. This feature is also available in the GPM and Amazon Music Apps - and it was in sonos. Now I always have to open these apps and use the cast function and switch back to sonos for grouping speakers etc. That’s really annoying! Is the feature just moved somewhere and I am unable to find it? Thanks in advance!   drohhyn

Can anybody help? I have paid for Pete Tong via Live-Now tonight.I have the website open on my laptop,I have Sonos open on my laptop.How can I stream the URL via my Sonos!?I have 4 sonos 1’s and the Sub  

This keeps happening all the time, any clue on why? Its not my wifi

We have had Sonos for several years and listen to various genres. Our favorite channel is Concert Hall, mostly because the curator/announcer/DJ (whatever they are called) is incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. Now we have switched to HD and he is gone! Why in the world would Sonos take away such an integral part of this programming? The HD quality sounds great and we are very relieved to be rid of the hideous ads, but please bring back the curator, or find a way to give paying listeners a choice!I spoke with a customer service rep today and he said he would pass on my request. Maybe if enough people complain…???
