Controllers and Music services

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?

Ciao,  I'm trying to connect the minidlna server on Debian 8 to my sonos playbar 11.0. From the TV I see media shared on server correctly, but from the playbar no. I saw that there are some posts about it in the community but very dated and they did not help me to clarify if this type of scenario is possible. in the “add services” section I saw that there is plex, but I would not like to switch from external services. Do I have to add the source manually? if yes, how? thanks to anyone who wants to talk about  or share their experiences and/oropinions.    Andrea. 

Hi,   is it possible to use my PC with iTunes and start a song to be played to my Sonos One SL? In short to stream it from iTunes on PC to Sonos.

Whenever I tell my Sonos speaker (a Beam with Google Assistant) to play and it had been previously playing from Spotify, it seems to start playing from a random artist’s playlist, rather than whatever was last playing on that speaker. Why is this happening…? Diagnostics: 1513315051

I have a Sonos One that I also use as an alarm clock, setting it via the app is simple but I don't get a notification as soon as the alarm goes off. I can't snooze it without opening the app, at notifications I don't see any Sonos so I can't turn it on either. I have iPhone X on iOS 13.4, Sonos app has been updated to the latest version (10.6.2).

Hi all, i recently bought 2 Sonos One Gen 2.  They look 100% identical. As unboxed them i immediately recognized a difference in the Booklet Design. After Installing and registering the Products, i realized a second difference. Have a look at Hardwareversion and Serien-ID.   Now i was wondering if there is a difference? If one Version is improved over the other? Put short: Should i go back to the Store, a swap the “older” Revision for the new one?   Thanks in Advance.      

I recently came across Ibroadcast and have to say it has solved all the problems I have had with music storage on my NAS server. I am now able to add album covers which also serve as artist covers. IBroadcast finds most of them for you. Having uploaded my entire library I will clean it up and download. However would rather it linked straight to Sonos. What i had intermittantly spent years doing has been completed in weeks. I also use Spotify but spotify does not suggest songs as good as IBroadcast.

Ah come on Sonos, alarms used to be so easy. It used to be click ‘More’, click alarms. Now in 10.4 it’s click ‘Settings’, click ‘System’, scroll around a bit, click ‘Alarms’. Why? Sometimes it feels like Sonos is constantly changing stuff for the sake of change, not to improve the functionality.

Why when I search under playlists on Sonos do I not see my Spotify playlists? Many of these are uniquely named and should be readily visible and yet they never appear in searches. I have all my playlists set to "Public". Any tips? I’d like to able to access my playlists from other Sonos systems (at work, at events, etc.). Thank you for the help! 

Ok, I've had it with Sonos. This is the second time this happens. I already had to replace 2 iPad gen 1 with iPad gen 2 tablets and now it seems I have to buy 2 new one's again. I'm going to sell everything and buy some other system that does not impose these kinds of practices upon me.

We received a request for a new feature that would allow you to control the Sonos volume via the menu bar in OS X. Let us know your thoughts on this and add a +1 if you'd like to see this feature on Sonos.

Hi there. I have Spotify family premium and now have the Spotify kids app. It isn’t able to play on Sonos. Will this be added ASAP?

Display "Playlist" on the home screen.

Hi, is it in some way possible to control Sonos sound from distance? I have Sonos in a store, and I would like to be able to choose the music and volume from home. This because the staff is often changing the music or their own.
