Controllers and Music services

I have an XBMC server that serves its library of music via UPnP. When I configure my Sonos to 'Show Rhapsody UPnP Servers', my Sonos controller will see XBMC and allow me to play music from it. However, there seems to be no means to enqueue an entire album... I must enqueue each song separately. Is there an option to enqueue entire albums from a UPnP server that I've simply overlooked, or is this action unavailable in the Sonos app?

Setting up a play one seems it sets up then I go to rooms and it says unused, clicking on the unused it says to confirm player and link to my account, After clicking on link to my account its says Account update complete. when I go back to rooms it still says unused. Have done these steps numerous time even tried doing a factory reset and I get the same thing.

I’m quite new to SONOS and have 4 SONOS one devices. I’ve got these working with AirPlay 2 and have tried to set them up in my Home app on my iPhone so I can use them with Siri. I followed the instructions and added them via the ‘dont Have code’ options and they appeared yet once I added them they didn’t appear anywhere in the home app and I can’t re-add them as they no longer appear. I’ve also tried turning the devices off and on again. Can anyone help?

I now dread upgrades. This time, like MOST SONOS UPGRADES in the last few years, After applying an upgrade I seem to have to manually reboot every single device and also reboot my wi-fi router and boost. WHY ? What is causing this? Network Matrix shows GREENS everywhere. Half my ZP's are ethernet linked. Hald on wi-f- + boost which likely isnt needed but... Never used to be this way. Shoudln't be this way. After the iphone and playbar upgrade -- all other zones were there. But choose one to play.. ....it starts.. then bombs. Then its gone from the ROOMS list. Then iPhone App cannot find Sonos. THis is 30 minutes or more after the upgrade.successful meesage. . Eventually the APp connects and now the zones are still gone. 7 zones are now down to 2 on my iPhone App. Then 3 more appear.. then they drop. Ludicrous. Its going to take me a while but I'm now actively looking into Bluesound as an alternative.

Being able to add channels and playlists to My Sonos is great. No being able to add individual "line in" items is terrible. I shouldn't have to browse through three screens everytime I want to play my TV through the system. I've checked both my android app and the PC app. It doesn't seem to be available as an option on either.

So Alexa and Cortana are now starting to integrate https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/15/17691920/microsoft-amazon-alexa-cortana-integration-preview-features It's very early in the integration, but you can now 'Open Cortana' from a Echo device. I tried it on my Show and it works fairly well. It's an odd experience though, as it's like my echo now has a split personality. And I honestly can't quite grasp where this is a benefit to me, but it's got me wanting to explore what features Cortana has. And of course, this is not available (yet?) on the Sonos One or Beam, as it's not available on any 3rd party alexa devices. Without knowing the tech or licensing required in these, hard to know that it can be easily done. The other side of this is that you can now 'Open Alexa' from a Cortana device, or at least a windows 10 PC. Eventually, it should be available on windows phones, a Cortana app, or xbox as well. I didn't think to test this last

Today we had Sky Q installed along with mini TV box in the kitchen (and wireless sky broadband booster hardwired back to the main Q Hub in the study). The Sonos controller works fine when next to the main Hub and Sonos Bridge in the study - all speakers in the house can be controlled and new music selected. As soon as you leave this room and the wifi signal drops, re-connecting to either the signal provided by the Q box in the lounge or booster in the kitchen (all same network name), all control of the sonos is lost. The music continues to play and volume can be adjusted but you can not stop or play new tracks. Connection to "my music" is also lost, tracks and albums just show up as greyed out discs. If I then walk back into the study and it picks the main hub signal up again, everything springs back to life. Prior to Sky Q, I was using two additional TP-Link Wireless N Access Points to provide wifi coverage throughout the house (the sonos

Having been forced to use the App Version 9.0.1 on Android 5 when the controllers were no longer supported since April this year; Grrrrrr!!!!, I now find that since the last update a couple of days ago the app keeps crashing. I have an Asus tablet devoted to Sonos. Nothing else running on it. Rebooted several times. reinstalled Sonos App. Have reported this with the details many times in the last 24 hours. I have had to put the App on my phone now, and even that has crashed. That is running LineageOS 15.1 (open source android). As a result my system is almost unusable. Anyone else having problems?

It's annoying enough to have nagware pop up 'DO YOU WANT TO UPGRADE' every time I pull up an app, then tell me I need to create an account. No, I want to listen to my music, I don't want to upgrade. I also do not want to be forced to create an online account to get the functionality I've had for years with my Sonos Connects. In addition to nagware, the recent app upgrades for my android devices leave the controller hanging often. This am it took 4 app restarts across 2 devices(Galaxy S7, Galaxy Tab S2) to get a functioning sonos app, which after I hit play, subsequently froze. Requests: Turn off the nagware, 'click here for other options' how about you go back to just pulling up the controls? No one started the app for the opportunity of upgrading things. Think of this another way, how would you like your TV to pop up 'YOU NEED NEW FIRMWARE' every time you turned it on, then ma

I have 2 play5's and 1 beam. Since the last release, I have been having connection issues. Oddly depending on which app I'm using (Win 10, Android, or Amazon Fire OS) it is a different speaker that disappears. Currently, on my WIN10 app I can control the beam, but neither play5. My android (Pxel XL, Android PI) can see the kitchen speaker. My Kindle Fire HD8 can see the bedroom. I have really solid connectivity for the last few years - up until the last update. Ever since then I am getting horrible dropouts. Luckily, my alarms are still working in the morning so far. Resetting the wireless does fix this, but it is very frustrating.

The Sonos Controller is unable to connect to the Music Library if the Samba Server is on Linux

I"m a budding audiophile, but also really like the convenience of my Sonos Connect. Has anyone tried the Wyred 4 Sound upgrade to their Sonos Connect, and if so, can they tell me their experience or results? https://wyred4sound.com/products/upgrades-and-mods/sonos-connect-modified As it's a $550 upgrade, I'm quite curious to know if it's worth it. Thanks!

I am a musicholic, have been since forever. I have a long history with music & audio & audio systems. SONOS has been one of my favorite purchases for some time until today... "screen lock controls" are no longer available and the experience of having songs pause or be interrupted continually is brutal and annoying. Does anyone know if SONOS intends to correct this issue? If not, I will be looking for a new way to listen to music wirelessly.

My mother loves her Sonos. especially now audible works on it, but I have to operate her controller app to play tracks for her as she is disabled. She can only manage very simple apps on her ipad. Ideally I would like a playlist to start or stop with simple click of an ipad desktop icon. Is there anything out there to do this? if not does Sonos expose an API which would allow me or some keen script kid to do this?

It would be nice to be able to select different skins for the controller on the desktop. The current skin is dark and small text. It's hard to see the subtext that appears to be a light blue on a dark background.

I am wondering if the Airplay2 is a workaround for guests with iPhones to play music without having to download the Sonos app and/or connect to home's wifi?

Used for years but have just got a new laptop. downloaded the app but it wont connect to my play 1's ive tried everything it says. if I sign in to my spotify it connect straight away. On the manage drop down everything is greyed out except change language? Please help!

I can see how to add song to my sonos but how do I to add an album to my sonos? Any help appreciated

i apologize if this is not the right place for posting feature requests. I would like a way to reverse the current queue of music... it's a strange request I know and probably extremely niche... but just how there is a shuffle button that actually shuffles the queue, i'd like a button (or tuck it away somewhere obscure i don't mind) to reverse the current queue.

Since when should Sonos get to decide that a perfectly functional version of the iPhone controller will no longer work? And then have the site undergo maintenance so that it doesn't direct you to the App Store for the update. What it for some reason you don't have a connection? What if you were simply planning to listen to your own music on your own system, all of which you have paid for with your own money. I want Sonos to make it possible to say "LATER" to the update screen and let me go about my business. This intervention in my personal life and enjoyment of my property is unacceptable.

We have spotify family and it would be great to add ALL the accounts to the Sonos app. Currently we can only add two. Also the ability to rename the spotify icons would be great - currently they both look identical

I can’t finalize my latest Sonos update. I asks for my email. When I type in the email I am using here it claims that the account doesn’t exist And I have now a remember dot asking for finalizing the update, which I can’t

Why is it that even though Sonos Claims to want to work with custom integration, they keep sending updates that break the API and render integration useless?

Hello, I'm planning on installing a Sonos system for my vacation/rental property. Does anyone out there have experience setting this up? Problems? Things I should take into account? I figure I'll need to set up a separate Sonos account for each property, but otherwise are there other things I need to be concerned with? Thanks!
