Controllers and Music services

I used to be able to use Crossfade on my speaker however now it’s just blurred out after doing an update on the app. Any suggestions on how I can use it? It’s for Spotify

Hi, I’ve added an URL to a German radio station (Antenne Bayern official URL: http://www.antenne.de/webradio/antenne.m3u) to the TuneIn radio station list. Listening works perfectly well, but each time when turning on one of my Play:1 devices for first time of the day (maybe later too) to listen to this radio station, I first get a short ad that interrupts the current live radio stream. To be precise, the ad plays first and after some seconds, the radio station program starts. One can distinguish this annoying ad from the normal broadcasting, because when the ad streaming finishes, the currently broadcast song continues somewhere in the middle or the presenters start speaking somewhere in the middle of a sentence. Those ads are not part of the radio station program. While I can understand that TuneIn tends to earn some money for its free services, I do not understand why those ads also appear when using the freely available official Antenne Bayern app, that I can add from the Sonos app

This has bugged me since I first bought my Sonos Connect. My friend got a Bluesound Node and it has no issues with such a simple task, you got sorting options. I read Sonos is blaming the streaming services everytime someone asks. But since Bluesound solved it… It can't be impossible to fix, can it?   I bought the Connect to try Sonos out. Now I'm about to invest in equipment for my entire house and if Sonos can't listen to their customers, I have no other option than to sell my Connect and buy Bluesound equipment. People have been asking for this many, many years! What's so difficult?

I just got a new Samsung Watch and was wondering if there is an App for the watch?

Hello; I’m also getting the same message, Sonos no longer supported on my Samsung Galaxy Android OS. I read others with this problem have version 4, but I have version 5.1.1 OS, and I’ve had this device about a year. How can my OS be obsolete already?? Advice please!! Thanks. Stef 11

Music library on Google Drive - is it possible and how?I would like to place my music on Google Drive and access it from Sonos app, but how do i address the music folder on my Google Drive in the app?

Good morning I’ver been a Sonos user for a long time, initially to allow my to play my CD collection from my hard drive. I now have Sonos in 8 rooms and use it with my Spotify and Apple Music services, but I would like to create a separate Sonos set up, to run in parallel with my existing installation, that would JUST play music from my hard drive. I would like to use a much earlier version of the desktop controller, perhaps on it’s own dedicated computer, and not have it nag me to upgrade every time I use it. Initially I would be happy to use this in one room only.   Can anyone advise me on what would be involved in achieving this goal?  TIA Milt

Is there a way to adjust the Bass on MOVE? 

I have an old Droid Turbo. A Sonos notification popped up yesterday stating "Stopping the service may affect Sonos homescreen widgets.". And a link to Stop Service.  There was an update, which I have now installed, but the notification remains. I can't clear it.  I restarted my phone. Still there.Anyone know why it's there and how to clear it..?  I didn't generate it.Thanks!   

How do I select to play all songs by an artist or composer? Currently, Sonos seems to limit me to only playing the Artist's/Composer's songs by album or individual song.

Making it as simple as possible and with all the ideas over the years .... if Sonos could do this I think there would be a lot of happy people and it would be a good selling point. Call it Jukebox Mode - put a marketing spin on it. In the More ... menu put an option "Jukebox Mode Enable/Disable". Make it very easy for someone to see it is enable or not and this would be best place vs. an icon in the queue. And not buried in settings menu. When someone enables you can put a pop up box showing what the option does. When you enable Jukebox mode .... On all the selecting music screens clicking on either the song name or the ... button does the same thing. Brings up menu option that only gives option to Play Next or Add to End of Queue. Those are the only options people are given. That would satisify 90% of needs when it comes to a party mode. Don't worry with disabling rooms, disabling volume control etc. Those aren't big deals. The big deals are people select

I can play music on my play:1 system but not the connect - it has disappeared.  My phone can connect to and play on both systems.  There were no problems before Catalina.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac app.

I have an iPod Touch.  Can the music files on the iPod be connected/played on a Sonos system?  How would I go about connecting the iPod Touch to a Sonos system?

Are you able to connect your turntable to the Sonos Amp ‘line in’ input and play music from vinyl to either a play 1,3 or 5 that is on your wireless network.  Vic

Is there a way to quickly list the most recently added albums to the local library?

It would be nice if we were able to schedule when the night mode and dialogue modes are on and off like when you set alarms. We always use both modes in the evening and only dialogue during daytime. Now I have to turn night mode on and off every evening on my phone which is a little annoying to me. I would rather have them automatically turn on during specific hours and turn them off manually the few times I don't want to use them in the evening.

I have just run the v10.2 update and aside from it completely messing up the integration and control between Sonos, Spotify and Alexa which i've now sorted after 2 hours of trying to put back to how it was. The option to turn off the wake chime seems to have now disappeared from the Sonos app, has this function now been removed? MJ

How to get Spotify infomarting using Crestron Sonos Module  i am able to get the favourites but not the spotify playlist or any other radio services 

Does anyone know if it's possible for two users in the same household to login into a single account and control their music separately? Thanks Moderator note: We updated this article in October 2023 with new information below.Her you can find additional information regarding this:  Use multiple accounts for the same music service  

So we have friends here for vacation, and they are disappointed because it is not as simple as a bluetooth speaker to broadcast music in my house... you have to download the Sonos app, log in with my complicated password and then they find the app complicated (too many rooms, not used to my music service, difficult to find the tune they want...) and mess up the whole thing. Is there an easy way to have a guest broadcast a tune to a sonos system that I don't know ?

I’ve had a play 1 in storage since we are building a house. I never had good performance from the speaker. Using the iPhone  app songs would skip, stop or not even play. I still want to play music stored on my iPhone. I’m hesitant to try and set it up again knowing how poorly it performed before. Has the app been improved any? If not, I’m tempted to just try and sell the play 1 and be done with Sonos. 

Hi - Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m running Mac Catalina 10.15.2 and would like an equalizer for my Sonos system to enhance my Sonos Sub (especially) as well as other speakers in the system. I’ve been unable to find one and could use your help. Thanks in advance

Currently use iTunes on MacBook for all my music. Plan on adding a NAS. How can I organize my music, without using iTunes. Is the there software to organize? I liked to be able to easily find selections and have playlist. Thanks Joe
