Controllers and Music services

Sonos is a complete waste of money. I bought it to use with my iPad to play my music YT now I can’t do that so just a really expensive radio! Also I cannot get it to work with my pc. Useless. Does any know if there is a system that you can use with an iPad?

when using sonos controller and playing songs from library - How can I find the location(pathway) of the song(s) in the que

Hi Everyone,Wonder if someone can help me with the following question:If I want to stream music (24-bit 44.1kHz/48kHz) directly from Amazon HD via the Sonos app (S2) in the latest Sonos Five. Does the Sonos Five need to be wired or can it stream that quality wireless as well?I have a 100mb broadband speed so not a problem.Looking forward to your answers.

I cannot create a group from the Spotify iOS app. This is what I get when selecting the option to create a group. I was able to do last month but after a Sonos system update and/or iOS 14 and/or latest Spotify app update I only get this blank screen.  Of course I can still create the group from the Sonos app.

HiI just bought a Oneplus Nord and can't get Sonos to show on the lockscreen. The volume control doesn't work either.  I've tried Spotify and that works on the lock screen.What can I do about it? 

Hiya, Sonos peeps!While I respect that Sonos is encouraging people to upgrade, I’m growing a bit weary of the S1 app asking me to consider updating to S2 over and over and over.You know I have legacy equipment, you know I’ve chosen to stay on S1, you know you’ve asked already. So stop asking already!Btw, I bought my first Sonos gear 10+ years ago and have grown our collection over time. Everything still works great! I admire that Sonos has created and supports such durable tech gear, as way too many companies don’t.So don’t consider this post a complaint. Consider this a gracious request.

Hi all,I have downloaded the S2 Controller app for Windows 10 and I am facing the issue that I cannot find the option how to minimize the Controller into the system tray. When I minimize it, the the app gets minimized into the taskbar. I tried to open Mini Controller and then to minimize the master app, but then I got two application in the taskbar instead of system tray.Could you please let me know if there is any “hidden” option that you can check/uncheck to have S2 Controller app minimized into the system tray like, for example, Spotify app.Thank you and best regards.

Hello, I just bought Sonos one and with the apps, I can't find pre-made lists by genre or mood in YouTube music. Is there a reason?Thanks 

Hi all,I have just downloaded Sonos S2 Controller for Windows 10 and I cannot find the option how to minimize the controller into the system tray, only to the taskbar. I tried to fix it through the settings, but I could not find any option for that.Could you please tell me is there any option to minimize the Controller into the system tray?Thank you and best regards.

Hello guys,I have a Play:1 speaker and i would like to hook it up with an turntable. Figured out i will search for second hand connect and found an offer for used ZP90 for few bucks. Will it work with my Play:1?

Hi,im going to use ifttt for controlling Sonos for years and its so pretty cool.I have an another requirement: i need control SmartHome, when Sonos plays in specific room. For example: need Sonos learn to call rest api (get or ifttt) when i will start listening music in a kitchen.or alternative issue: if i will be able to test every minute sonos over rest api: “hey dude, are you playing?”. Im able to test via volume, and its not the same.Thanks for a clue...

Is there a way of switching between “steamed” music and “line in” on the amp without having to take the rca leads out?

 Hi, I use the Sonos app to play music cds stored on my iMac in iTunes. I recently had to re-load MacIOS on my computer, and while I figured out how to link my iTunes library to Sonos, I did something incorrectly. I cannot no longer obtain infomation on the Sonos playlists about upcoming or previous tracks. I can get info about song currently played but not about others on playlist. How can I remedy this? William

Suddenly the possibility to play all top tracks as a playlist is gone from Tidal. What can be done about it?

It is really frustrating that there is no sorting facility for search results. I would like to be able to search for an artist and see their catalogue of music and then sort by release date. You may hear that a certain artist had released a new album but you don’t know the name. Being able to sort the search results by release date would help find that album straight away without needing to search it up on the internet first. I know that is a minor point but would make the Sonos experience so much more seamless and enjoyable. 

Evening all. Clunky title but would like to optionally have my phone perform normal screen lock security except when I have Sonos open at page and active. Is that possible?Is a pain on a Saturday having to log in every time you think of a great track to add to playlist.Many thanks in advance

So, my Fire HD 8 is apparently too old now for S2.  What is the current goto for a cheap device to hand off to visitors or leave on the table for parties?

Upgraded my Sonos Controller on Win 10 OS to the new S2 app but now neither open when selected??  Have tried to uninstall both 3 times and re-install and repair the S2 app on Windows.  The app still fails to open when selected.   Becoming more and more unhappy with Sonos, since they removed the option to play music direct from my phone…  Now the windows controller doesnt work!   Any help, apart from changing hardware brand at this time, would be appreciated.

Hello,  I have a pair of sonos one speakers, second generation. Would I be able to connect a turntable to them with a sonos connect? Thanks,Brian

I have an old Sonos system that is not compatible with Sonos 2 & the new products.  I run the Sonos 1 app on my Windows 10 computer and iPHone.I keep getting app update pop-ups on my Win10 computer (I currently have version 11 on my win10 Sonos 1 app).Is the latest update applicable to the Win10 Sonos 1 app?  Or does it apply to just the Sonos 2 app?  Or does it apply to both Sonos 1 and Sonos 2 apps?I don’t want to update and find that Sonos 1 is replaced with Sonos 2 and will not operate all my old Sonos speakers.

Since V12 of Sonos S2 I have no end of problems. The first and most obvious one is that the software doesn’t even recognise it is at the latest version. I have a Samsung Note8 and the Sonos S2 System version I have downloaded is 12.1.2.Ok - go to add a music system and it comes up with the attached message. Obviously hit the update button (even though the software reports it is at Version 12.1.2) and it checks Sonos for updates and ‘there was a problem during the update of your system’ message appears - now before any Sonos guru replies yes I have reloaded, rebooted every possible software, speaker, boost and router I have - the default goto answer for any Sonos problem - just shows how flaky this software is!!!If the software doesn’t even recognise its own version level there has got to be some basic programming issues going on rather than blaming wireless/ethernet connection issues  

Hi. I have a Sonos 1, Sonos Playbar for my TV ( very soon I will also be buying the new Sonos acr TV speaker) and a Sonos 5 with a line input. I also have a very good  sounding blue tooth speaker and would like to know if i can connect it to my sonos system so that when i listen to music from my 3 sonos speakers I will also hear the music from my blue tooth speaker. I know Sonos now sells a speaker that is blue tooth compatible but as i already own 3 speakers ( soon to be 4) , I don’t particularly want to buy the newish sonos blue tooth speaker, when i already have a perfectly good speaker that i could use. Please have you any advice how this can be done . Many thanks. Jimmy 

Hi So I purchased the Arc recently and realised that my android phone will not support trueplay and I've already owned iPad pro gen 4 which that didn't work either. I went and bought iPhone 12 pro only to find out that still not supported??!!?? I've spent £1500 on the Arc and the sub and on top another £1k on a new iPhone 12 pro only to find out an old iPhone would work only.  Come on guys please sort this out. Can someone from Sonos team get in touch and tell me how long this will take???? Thanks

Hello, The Sonos apps do work properly for sure but I have just a UX question : do you think you can design something even smaller??? :-))For example the seek slider on the desktop app for Mac  This gives the feeling that the very tip of the mouse pointer must be at the exact pixel where the slider bar is. This is not the case actually but still.The buttons next to it are bigger but not big either.Looks like you’re shy :) Make huge buttons and sliders! Don’t hesitate. Think UX and accessibility.The same applies on the mobile app (even worse for seeking). Thanks
