Controllers and Music services

Any updates to when google Assist is being added to Sonos??? Alexa isnt very impressive?

After speaking with both Chromebook and Sonos, still no solution to get Sonos to connect to wifi through Acer Chromebook. It had been working for 8 months.

Background: occasionally Sonos can't play a track for whatever reason (usually this happens with Spotify), and Sonos has a "keep playing music no matter what" design whereby it just attempts to skip to the next track and pretend nothing happened, no option to have playback pause on error. The only way I've found to spot issues like this is to go looking in the error log. I know how to get to the error log on 9.1 desktop controller app (Help->Error Log), but one day I'm going to have to "upgrade" to the 9.2 "player" app with reduced admin functionality. Is the error log still available on 9.2 desktop? Is it available on mobile app? (can't see an option anywhere).

I knew the new crippled desktop controller was coming because I read it here, but when I actually took the 9.2 update there was no warning at all. There are going to be a LOT of very surprised desktop users out there. There's a few on the forum now, but adding a warning to the pre-upgrade message would save Sonos at least some of the forthcoming vitriol.

It says to Tap More Options (...) to add your favorite music. When I goto Browse —> a playlist on my iPhone —> ... on top of screen, I don’t see an option to add the song or playlist to My Sonos.

Hey everyone! I'm currently attending University living in a dorm in which I am constantly having issues with people thinking that it is funny to blast music off of my Play 5. I am on an open network and we are not allowed to create our own so I am just checking to see if there were any ways to prevent this from happening in the future. People are able to just play music right off of the Apple Music / Spotify apps on to my speaker and I really don't want it to burst or anything like that. Is there anyway to disable Airplay? If I connect a tablet through the aux and just keep it plugged in will people still be able to play off of it? Thanks!

Hi The "settings" option via "advanced" has vanished from my main Mac computer and laptop. It means I cannot go to the bit to "change channel". It still exists on my ipad, however, via "settings" and "advanced settings" but not on my Mac. In fact, ever since the update to Sonos that turned the interface black, under "manage" at the top, all I now have is "music library settings", "service settings" and "add radio station".

Is there a way to have music fade to off instead of abruptly stopping mid-song? I would like to have a setting that allowed me to specify how many seconds of fade before turning off using the on-speaker on/off toggle and also an option on the controller to fade to off instead of clicking stop. Is this possible? If not, could this be considered as a future enhancement?

All the options in the "manage" menu are grey-ed out. That makes it impossible to add a music library and so I can only play music from streaming services and radio on Sonos. How do I get access to the "manage" menu so I can access my music library sorted on my Mac?

Am I missing it, or is there no longer a sleep timer option in the new iOS/Android apps? It's still available in the desktop app but that's a real pain when I want it to turn off after, say, half an hour (usually at bedtime) and do not have the computer on. I do quite like the new app, but that's a bit poor. I was trialing the beta as well and logged that sleep timer was missing a few times. My comments seem to have not been noted! 😞

When listening to a radio station on Sonos, I'd often like to look back and see which songs just played. Is there any way to see this?

My Sonos controller will not launch the Sonos app on my Desktop PC. It has been working fine for over a year now. I have a seperete I Pad and the controller is working fine on this machine but as my music library is stored on my Desktop PC I cannot add new music. The system is happy to play my songs from the Sonos App in my library. I downloaded the latest Installer to my Desktop PC with the same result. I get the introductory Black screen but the controller will not launch. Any help appreciated

I just took the new update form Sonos for both the ios and macbook and now i cannot control the volume or mute from the Mac but the iPhone still works. Any ETA on a fix?

when i got home and noticed the update was available i went ahead and began the process. It was taking forever so at some point i force closed the app. when i re-opened the app i was prompted to once again install the update. I did notice that one of speaker did take the update but the other rooms were still on 9.1. I tried again with no luck, the process never gets past the first step. I even tried letting it install overnight and it looks like it just timed out on my phone and no other speaker took the update. Any suggestions?

I cannot express how deeply dissapointed I'm in Sonos that without warning or choice my CR100 is not working anymore! I loved that i had a dedicated device to browse through my library, please give that back! The app on the phone is not even approaching the good old CR-100! Some examples: - The app needs to log on again after a while. - The physical hard wired controls are great and work much better than fidling around in the app. - Browsing with the jog wheel through your library is so much better than on a screen - I don't want to pass my tablet/ phone to friends when you have a get to getter. - I spent a lot of money on components, a dedicated controller should be an option. And really... it should be the easiest thing for sonos to develope you did it before! all techniques are there already! What to do now.. wanted to extent my system but serious doubting to sell it and migrate to B&O Beo sound.. Maybe with next update my play 3 will stop working..... no the

..........and once again, the system totally craps out after an update...........thanks SONOS

I bought a Pioneer VSX-LX103 today and and am trying to get it to work with my SONOS ZP80 (which I believe is the old version of the SONOS Connect). The LX103 is listed as being supported by "Works with SONOS" http://sonos.pioneerhomeusa.com. I get it home from Best Buy, install the latest firmware on the receiver and then follow the instructions here - http://sonos.pioneerhomeusa.com/assets/PioneerElite+Sonos-01.mp4 I get to the step to select the Connected Device under Hardware > Works with SONOS but the ZP80 is not found. I've tried everything, connecting to different RCA inputs (everything except Phono because the video says that doesn't work) but all to no avail. The ZP80 is on the same wifi network as the receiver and I've updated my SONOS system today. Really frustrated as this was one of the major drivers for me buying the Pioneer in the first place. It could be that the ZP80 isn't compatible with the "Works with SONOS" feature, but I can't afford to get a newer Connect o

Hi, I am new to the Sonos app. How do I shuffle all songs from all albums? Right now I only have an amazon account and I added all of my albums to "my Sonos", but I can only shuffle 1 album or multiple albums from 1 artist. I've searched this forum and a number of people mentioned adding albums to a queue, but I can't figure that out either. When I play one album it queue's those songs. If I start to play another album it queue's those songs, but does not remember the previous queue'd songs. I also don't want to have to individually add every album to a queue. Is there an easy way to just shuffle all of the songs in my Sonos library?

I have now noticed that there is the option to disable WiFi under room settings for each device. Was this recently added through an update? Does anyone know if this permanently disables the WiFi or does it need to be disabled every time there is a new update? I have 2 connects, one connect:amp, and 1 play:1

I have a first generation apple IPad. Is there any way I can update it to use Sonos controller? Thank you.

App (Windows) does not say "Set up new system" - it just says "Learn how to set up new system"

I realise that there has been a fair bit of feedback on the controller app recently, especially since the 9.2 update but I just wanted to provide my own feedback and what I believe are shortcomings of the app. Firstly, to explain my usage - I've had a couple of Sonos Ones for almost a year now and overall absolutely love them. I predominately listen to locally stored music (plus radio as an alarm in the mornings) but not streamed music. I work from home at a PC, so have music on all day every day and therefore mainly use the PC app during the week and the mobile app at weekends. I realise that the above probably makes me in the minority - not streaming music and not using the mobile app as much, but there you go. I feel that the controller has quite a few shortcomings that I would like to share, with the hope that some of these could be addressed over time; 1 - I realise that the 65k song limit is more to do with the hardware than the software and if there are any changes to t

Two of the play 1 and the play 3 we have cannot be found after recent app update. I do not see under the manage tab, where you use to be able to add a play or sub. The 13 other play 1 are working.

On the following page (https://support.sonos.com/s/article/1230?language=en), it says this new feature works with Beam, One, Playbase, and Play 5. Then, it says: You can also group any other Sonos speaker with an AirPlay 2 compatible Sonos speaker for multi-room playback. If that’s the case, then a Play 1 would receive the sound when it’s networked with a compatible speaker. Given that, I just don’t understand why the Play 1 doesn’t work by itself alone with AirPlay when it’s just a firmware update. I received that update, so why not use it on all speakers?

When you wake up by using an alarm with a playlist, the system changes the repeat list to “repeat” . This happens irrelevant of the list or alarm duration. My daugther wakes up with a playlist and goes to bed with a story. Every nigth we need to remember to go 1) remember this silly feature 2) go in the room menu, hit the show playlist button, press the repeat button 3 times. Failing to this results in the story repeating itself for the entire night... Am I missing something or this is really how it is supposed to works? Roch
