Controllers and Music services

The speakers are amazing! The app and the website are not. They are full of glitches, drops, and oh they start playing music BY THEMSELF. Yes, it was night. Everyone was asleep and the speakers started blasting music. I shut down every electronic in the house AND THEY STILL PLAYED. When one of the devices finally turned on, I went into the app, it took a while but it suddenly realized it was playing from my amazon account. I don’t have anything set up for voice commands so I know that wasn’t it, plus WE WERE SLEEPING NO ONE WAS USING THEIR DEVICES AND WE HADN’T USED SONOS IN A FEW DAYS. I love the sound quality of these speakers, but I don’t like the app. I highly doubt that the speakers themselves are at fault. Even this website is horrible. As I’m trying to write this it keeps coming up with related topics, but won’t go away and won’t let me select anything. It took me a while before I could get it to work just to post this.    If you’re wondering: Sonos one Gen2 (x3) macOS Catalina

Hi Guys, How would somebody join the Sonos S2 beta? Am already signed up and agreed to the beta program. Cheers G

Why hasn’t Sonos figured out how to turn alarm feature off when outside home, geo fence, ect.   Pretty disappointing considering the alarm feature is so great at getting everyone up.  But pretty sad because Sonos cost so much from the start.  You’d think that when you create that option you’d have the foresight to what to turn it off. 

There seems to be a limitation of the number of tracks possible in the Queue. I am using Spotify. I am unable to add my large playlist. I did get it to work selecting all but a few tracks in my playlist and then clicked add to end of playlist. It added 6000+ tracks but took an hour to add them. I can not save the queue not. Says its out of memory. Does anyone know? What are the playlist limitations?

Hiya all, I have a CR200 that I have not used in ages but with the coming May2020 S1/S2 split date, I am keen to get my CR200 reconnected to my system so I have this legacy gem in a working state before it’s too late.   My system software version is v11 and the controller will not connect. I have seen all of old history on here where downgrades are required etc before upgrading with the CR200 connected. My questions to the community are as follows;   I would like to know the latest sonos software version known to work with the CR200. (assuming the CR200 was connected long ago). So please fellow Sonos users, if you could reply with a simple “mine is running today on system software xxx” it would be greatly appreciated so I can work out what version I will cap out at when I get my beloved controller connected.   Cheers for your contribution and please stay sae in the COVID era.

How to stream from PC/Windows 10 to Sonos?

Is there an easy way to click a checkbox and “Play Local” on the PC via the Windows Sonos App, so that I can play through the PC speakers with synchronized playback on my Sonos devices? The only way I have seen to do something similar is via either: Purchasing Sonos “Port” product - hardware rube goldberg contraption, costs money, introduces lag. Or, With a software workaround like “Stream What You Hear”” - software rube goldberg, free, loss of sound quality, introduces lag, can’t use Sonos app for source selection There are a bunch of benefits of being able to do this directly within the Sonos app rather than via workarounds, and it feels like a really simple thing. Possible?

Is there a way for someone to connect to my Sonos system while visiting my house, so they can use their own Spotify accounts (or Pandora, or song files, etc.) to play the songs they choose (i.e. without having to use my devices)?

Hi everyone,   I've been searching online for days about this and I have yet to find any instructions.  How do you add multiple Spotify accounts to your Sonos system? (Android) Every time I go to add a new account it gives me an error message of “Spotify account is already set up on your Sonos. No need to install it again.” Im not trying to setup a new service, I want to add multiple accounts.  Sonos completely miss out this step on their online FAQ section which says:   https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3624?language=en   Adding additional accounts Adding another music service account follows the same process outlined in our Add a music service to Sonos article. (Not relevant as I dont want to add another service. There is a hyperlink in this sentence which takes you to another page with instructions to add another service.  When i try do this anyway,  it gives me the error message above I described) If one or more accounts have already been added for a music service, you'll see eac

Hi, Is it possible to use my Sonos One and stream what I’m playing on my MaBook Pro using Algoriddim Djay Pro2?   In preferences I can’t seem to find the option.

Can i use the sonos trade in offer to get new product and still use that  legacy product the connect amp in my garage or will it no longer work. Thanks

So let’s say you want to play all songs of a particular artist without the pain of creating a playlist? In iTunes you simply search Apple Music for the artist and click on the red play button and boom - all songs play. You can also simply tell HomePod play X artist and again, it just plays some of their music.  However, when you go into Sonos App and search for artist and then play, you get a playlist of like artists and songs no matter which music service you select (Apple Music, Amazon, Pandora, or Spotify).  Or worse, you have to select one album at a time to listen.  Is there an alternate way of doing this?     

Does Sonos App support Apple Smart Playlist?

Hi is there a way to stream audio that is playing on my MAC, Ipad or Android device to Sonos - if Sonos doesn’t support the music services (EG: Soundcloud private links or Instagram Live) there is not easy way to play it through your Sonos system - seems like a much needed product feature.

I’ve been given a pair of Play:1 as a gift and don’t have any other Sonos product at the moment.  I’ve used the Sonos app to stream music using Amazon Music subscription but I find the app quite restrictive as it requires premium service to add any other service.  is there a Sonos device I can buy that can work as a host that I (or any other family member) can connect via Bluetooth - the device can then stream music to the individual play:1 speakers. (I can see that might restrict some features like playing separate music on each speaker - but that’s fine).  I’d rather pay for one host device than pay monthly family subscriptions for multiple services. 

The little Sonos icon disappeared on my Win 10 desktop. Can do a manual shortcut, but it just looks like a generic shortcut. How do I get the icon back?

I am an Apple ignoramus. My wife wants to use iTunes on her Mac to send to our Sonos system using Airplay. However the Sonos support page just talks about iPad/iPhone w.r.t. Airplay and when I look on her Mac, the Airplay options only show our Apple TVs as destinations. Can a Mac not use Airplay to Sonos gear?

Hi, Please can someone tell me why my Sonos app is using my 4g/ mobile data? Last month it used 1.12gb   Thanks

Hello All, so I am on an iPhone 8+ with iOS 13.3.1, and I set up alarms they go off, but on my locked screen I never see the functions to turn off or snooze as the support pages show.  I have a Sonos Play 1, Play 5, PlayBar and Sub.  I love the system, but not having functionality to control from lock screen does suck and wish Apple and Sonos can play together. I do read something about Apple AirPlay 2 and having to turn that off, I only have 2 apple TV but they are old generation, we stream from our phone to the TV for Disney+ since they are older devices can I can’t download the app to them. I have a desktop Mac and sometimes we stream from that to TV’s. Do I have to turn off AirPlay 2 and if so how? One Sonos support person told me to go on my phone to Systems Preferences to Notifications to make sure I have notifications turned on for Sonos but when I look on my phone under System Preferences>Notifications there is no Sonos App there to check to see if notifications are on - why

Hi,I am sorely missing the option to play music from my iPhone through my Sonos system.I know I can use Airplay but where is the integration? I want to use my iTunes playlists that I created over the years. This is a huge bummer since I invested over $1500 in a smart sound system and I can’t use it to its full extent. I guess I am old school and I still mostly listen to the 500+ albums that I own in addition to streaming on Spotify. But Spotify doesn’t have everything and not the same quality. Plus I can not use my playlists for example to set alarms in the app.Will this feature ever be available?

Manage options all greyed out. Sonos version 10.5 Macbookpro 10.15.3 Catalina. Is this a problem others are having?  

Hi, My friend & I both have a Sonos speaker.  We want to listen to the same Spotify playlist (which we both have access to) at the same time, in different households out of our individual Sonos speakers.  Is this possible?

What happened to the "my data" section on the account page of the website? I always thought it was really interesting to see my usage over time, I'm sad it's gone. :( Anyone know why?

Saw many topics on Headspace but not sure if it currently works, and if it does, how to get it running

Is there a difference in sound quality including EQ settings when using Sonos App vs Airplay 2? To me on my outdoor speakers playing through Sonos AMP I think that Airplay 2 does not use the EQ settings and does not sound quite as clear as Sonos App. I get some sounds that I don’t like using Airplay 2 that are either not there or not audible using Sonos App. I also have the Treble set down because my speakers are a little bright for my taste and I notice a difference between the two streaming methods. Is this true or just in my imagination?
