Controllers and Music services

Hello, Some frustration here. I have Amazon Music Unlimited. I can connect to Amazon Music just fine. But when I try to play various Playlists that I have created using My Sonos I receive the message “The connection to Amazon Music was lost.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Sonos app (S1). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Amazon Music services on the Sonos app. Also, the Amazon Music was re-authorized. I have power-cycled everything: unpowered all my Sonos devices and unplugged my router and restarted everything five minutes later.Bottom line: No difference.  I cannot play my my Sonos Playlists with Amazon Music tracks: “The connection to Amazon Music was lost”.At this point I have no idea what to do except the solution of last resort, which is to re-create all of my playlists. This, of course, is unattractive, to say the least.Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!Mateo

Sirius channels are misidentified in the app this morning. Ch73 60’s gold shows undefined Cincinnati Reds w the logo Channel 73 60’s Gold???  Other channels have the same misidentified issue pointing to other Sirius channels. 

On my Plex Server, I have two Smart Collections (a.k.a Playlists), each having approximately 1500 tracks. These are easily browsable in the the Sonos app, but no tracks can be played from these Collections. The same tracks can be played if you navigate to the correct Album and play them from a shorter list. I guess the Sonos players are failing on the length of the queue, since all the tracks in the Collection are added to the queue…?Do the players have a limit to the number of tracks they can handle being added to the queue?

I have been offline for some considerable time however forums have stated huge challenges with the APP (S1/S2 ?) have these been resolved

Hello,When we first started setting up a service that we test locally, we used to get exceptions for not handling getLastUpdate. I put in a token regenerator so the token was always rolled. The threshold was 60 seconds. The point was for our development environments to always refresh data. But when moved to production this would obviously not be the case.For some reason now, the getLastUpdate is not being received. I checked my sandbox, value is still 60, did a refresh of the ics (refresh+send), but it looks like I am not receiving this call.Is there something that could have been done that causes sonos not to poll the sandbox service?

The adjustment shortcut is missing sub. I still need to go to the room settings and jump between EQ and SUB level. 

As of today I am bang up to date with all updates. My issue is playing Spotify through Sonos I cannot delete the track that I have played. I used to be able to delete the queue but can’t find it anymore? 

In the FWIW department, I wanted an easy way to spin up all my music to all speakers in my house as well as be able to quickly adjust volume, skip & pause.So if anyone is interested, here’s the initial version of my little app.  MIT open source in C#.  Suggestions welcome.HotSonos on GitHubBTW,  I mapped my controls to the keypad which I never use - add/subtract for volume, multiply for pay and divide for restart.Moderator Edit: Link removed

Hi allSearched and found closed topics.Wanted to find out whether the issue of setting an alarm and not being able to add a Group has been fixed? So I set an alarm with a station, choose a speaker (eg my Move stereo pair) and choose “Include Grouped Rooms” but it fails to also then play on my Beam which is part of this Group under “Groups”. If I set two alarms they are out of sync. Any advice? thanks 

Hi again In general I like the user interface in the app and I also like the changes now in july.  One thing with the GUI i don't like so much is the display og speaker groups in form in the "player". It's today as "buttons" on a single line on top of the speakers. Even though I initially made 8-10 groups I rarely use them as scrolling to get the wanted group isn't natural use for me. I would like the groups listed somehow - then will selecting a group be easier and more on intiuition. I don't have a clear solution how to improve it. It can be a list above/below speakers, it can be a tan for groups and a tab for speakers. Probably other better solutions - just look into how groups can be displayd best way 🙂Thank you in advance Amund 

HiI would realy like a function to restart one/all speakers. I experience doing that help sometimes to avoid hang/unstability, but with 10 units it's not something i like to do manually… A function in app to restart selected or all units would be verry helpfull.  Amund 

HiI have been using Sonos system for about a year. We have 8 speakers, 2 beams and are generally verry satisfied with the system 🙂 But I have some wishes for improvements regarding Tidal integration that is the music supplied I mostly use.  In Tidal app:The integration should be improved for better stability. I understand that this isn't something you can do by your own, but I guess focus from you on it can bring it forward.  I have tried to report it detaily to Tidal but it have'nt been improved so far.I experience that in example changing speaker after starting to play stops it all. Then need to stop Tidal app to get it work again. Adding songs isn't fetched, change order of songs is not fetched and so on. In short: The stability needs to be improved.Tidal in Sonos app:I have been primarily using the Tidal app to play music since I like some features there. But I til stability is improved I will try to use the built in Tidal In Sonos app. There I have this wishes for improvement: -

Trying to add music purchased from iTunes to Sonos app. I do not have a subscription to Apple Music. I have purchased all of my music from iTunes on my phone.

Yes, I realize that this has been asked before, but with macOS losing Rosetta 2 with macOS 28, coming out in 2027, is there any chance of the desktop Sonos app being ported to Apple silicon?I primarily use the macOS app, and am not really looking forward to relying on the web app, since I live in an area with poor internet availability.

I've been a Sonos user for years (Play:1s, Beam, Move) and an Android developer on the side.I wanted to share a project I recently launched — Sonos Widget Plus, an Android home-screenwidget for controlling Sonos speakers.Sharing here in case it's useful to other Android users on this forum. Disclosure: I'm thedeveloper.**What it does:**- Play / pause / skip and volume control from your home screen- Switch which Sonos room the widget controls with a tap- Group multiple rooms into a playback group- Pin up to 5 Spotify playlists or Sonos favourites for one-tap playback- Fully customisable look (colours and transparency)- Two widget sizes (4x2 and 4x3)**How it connects to Sonos:**It uses the local UPnP protocol over Wi-Fi that Sonos speakers already expose. That means:- No Sonos account needed- No cloud service in the middle- Works whether the music comes from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, TuneIn, or line-in- Runs entirely on your local network**Requirements:**- Android 8.0 or later

Current alarm clock settings:- Select a "room"- Select "Include grouped rooms" I would appreciate it if:- Multiple rooms could be selected individually- A group could be selected that is already defined in the settings Room groupings change throughout the day, so it's necessary to check each evening whether the desired rooms are grouped so that the alarm will sound there.With these simple options as an extension, the desired rooms or group for the alarm can be defined precisely and individually. Alarm clock task for the development team:- Multiple room selection- Select group option* Additional task: Individual setting of the turn-on volume of the grouped speakers

I have been waiting since the release of the new feature to disable SonosNet for the toggle to appear in my app. No luck so far, but when I check in play.sonos.com, in System Details, besides the S2 speakers, my old Boost is listed as well. Does anyone know how to remove this S1 device, so there is a possibility to finally get the option to disable SonosNet? 

I can’t for the life of me work out how to reorder my Favorites on the Sonos home screen. Can someone please advise?I’ve tried tapping and holding, tapping into “Stations” and tapping “Edit”, but while there are options to remove, I don’t see any way to reorder.Must be missing something obvious.Thanks!  

Given that Apple is dropping support for Intel based app later this year is there a plan to provide an apple silicon version of the Sonos app for OS X and if so is there an expected release date?

The title says it all. Many other apps show the position within the file (timestamp) in a large font in the center of the screen while you are scrubbing (dragging the position slider). The reason this is needed is often you will want to drag to skip the first three minutes of a podcast, but your thumb blocks the time stamp. 

i updated my MacOS app this morning and it stopped connecting to my Sonos system. My android phone app, my Wifi and Sonos speakers were working just fine so the problem had to be on the Mac itself. Here’s a fix that sorted it - had to resort to Gemini to find this. Am putting it down here for the rest of communityThis is a very common headache with macOS 15. Because your Android app connects without a problem, we know your Sonos speakers and Wi-Fi network are working perfectly.The issue is entirely isolated to how your MacBook Air is managing network permissions for the desktop app.Here are the steps to fix it, ordered from the most likely culprit to the most thorough:1. Toggle the "Local Network" Permission (The Most Common Fix)macOS has a strict security feature that blocks apps from communicating with devices on your local Wi-Fi. Even if the permission toggle looks like it's already enabled, macOS updates notoriously cause this setting to "silently fail." You usually just have to wa

Please can anyone give advice on how to share music from my iPhone with the Sonos app? I’m having difficulty understanding what I need to do and how to do it. 

When using the Sonos app on ios i have been unable to add imported playlists to the queue. I can add individual tracks from an imported playlist, and i can add all tracks from an artist, album etc. it’s just imported playlists. I can however add imported playlists via the web app and the app on Windows and OSX. The imported playlists are part of an xml file exported from Apple Music. I know I have previously been able to do this. Any thoughts?

The Sonos app on an Amazon Fire tablet running Fire OS version 7 has limited capabilities. When you open the Sonos app you get the comforting message “App features are limited … Update your mobile devices OS to access all app features”. (Playback is still supported, so that is great!) This is in spite of the fact that Sonos Support appears to indicate that Fire OS 7 is, in fact, a supported OS (https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/sonos-app-requirements). Does anyone know if the Sonos app is FULLY supported on Fire OS 8? Wondering if a new Fire tablet is in order (if OS 8 is supported) or if I need to move to a different product line entirely for my tablets.

I’ve had Apple App Store app version 8.5.012 since the day it was available.I have not yet received the feature to disable SonosNet.When will the rollout of the feature to disable SonosNet be complete?Others mentioned some ways to “force” the feature to appear, and I’ve tried them all multiple times. It’s now June 5, and I still don’t have the feature. I’ve got a Beam with surrounds, and I’ve had an ethernet cable dangling right behind it ready to plug in for YEARS.
