Controllers and Music services

Hi I have FLACs stored on a Vortexbox and use Bliss for music management. Recently (not sure exactly when, but within last few weeks) the track numbers that normally display on the LH side when viewing albums on the Sonos app have disappeared. What's more, the tracks on literally every album now sort alphabetically within album view (I have Mac, iphone and Android tablet controllers and they all show the same). I have checked the tags and can find no problems, both within Bliss and using a different tagging program. I have tried changing my music library temporarily to iTunes on my Mac (which I don't use now but where I do have a few albums) and the problem remained (thereby I think ruling out the issue being with the Vortexbox or Bliss). I have re-imported a few albums from my back-up drive (which pre-dates this problem) to see if my music library on the VB had become corrupted - still no difference. I even did a Sonos factory re-set - still no help.

since upgrading to sonos 9 the app becomes unresponsive on the iphone if you switch to another app and back again , or even just press the home button , the music continues to play without a problem but the sonos app screen is no more that a picture on the phone. The only fix is to "close" the app" by swiping up and re open the app

Sonos forced updates. I do not want updates. I bought the equipment, It is mine to use. I should not be forced to update the software, especially with such poor reviews of of the current software. I have contacted Sonos customer service with no resolution other than I must update. I will sell my Sonos equipment before I am forced to update and move to another platform, probably bluetooth. If I do not get a satisfactory resolution I will contact the Attorney Generals Office for Consumer Protection in my state regarding this issue. Do away with the forced updates or give me a refund on my equipment.

Ok, After the frustrating multiple attempts at update to system, my Apple Watch no longer controls the media on my iPhone Sonos App. This was great because I could control volume and skip to next item when using Apple Music or Pandora. Sucks you disabled this feature ... Guessing it was either not in your MVP or automated test suite ...

So far, does anyone find they're getting a lot of battery life loss from using Airplay to stream music? Personally, I was hoping this would be a way of controlling the Apple Music stream from the speakers using the Music app like it happens with the Sonos app, without streaming through the phone and using up the battery. (Yup, not much of a fan of the Sonos app, would rather use the Apple Music app)

Hi all. This just started for me: the app will work fine as I begin to use it. Once I either switch out of the app and then try and go back into it, or if the phone goes into sleep mode...if I go back into the app it's frozen. And then I either have to manually shut it down or it will actually shut down for me. This is only happening on my iPhones (one is a X, another is an 😎. The iPad is working fine, as is the laptop. I submitted a diagnostic from my iPhone X: 1210298232. Thanks in advance for any ideas. (I already tried deleting the app from the phone and then re-installing it, to no avail.)

Will Sonos ZonePlayers have Airplay 2 support?

Why does the Sonos controller not show up on locked screen like it did previously (same phone and iPhone 7+)

Hey Sonos Team! We really need an auto-update feature! I work with 300+ rental properties in Park City, UT, and whenever you push out an update, it automatically updates on everyones phones (iOS & Android), but when guests check-in to a rental, the Sonos equipment at the property doesn't let them play music until they update the Sonos first. Kind of frustrating, hopefully you can help! Thanks, Andrew AB Tech Park City | UT 801-432-0263 abtech.io

I love the CR100. Please keep it. But I applied for my voucher thinking ...OK. They are trying to compensate for the hundreds we spent. I have 2 active CR100’s and I sent them the serial numbers. I’ve got ONE voucher. And I need to spend it within 6 months. NO SONOS. That’s NOT fair. I don’t uave an immediate need for a new Play1 or whatever. I’ve got sonos devices all over the house. Please extend the time limit to at least one year.

I've been using a 2016 Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet to control my Sonos system without any issues. I was prompted to install the 9.0 update but cannot do so. Amazon says Sonos 9.0 is incompatible with this previous generation Fire HD 8, as well as a Fire 7 that I had purchased several months before. Is this true? Thanks in advance for all replies

Tried to run Sonos (6.4) from my iMac today. It refuses to run and gives me the message "We need Sonos running on the latest software. Choose check for updates to get started." If I follow the advice I am forced to accept the new privacy rules which I will not do. Any advice on how to make Sonos run on my iMac without accepting the new privacy conditions would be much appreciated. It was my understanding that for people like me Sonos would slowly but surely be phased out. I had never expected it to block access completely.

Sonos 9.0 removes the ability to control volume from the lock screen but doesn’t tell you before upgrading. How do I revert?

I installed the latest updates and tried using AirPlay with a Sonos 1 today – The Sonos 1 is sitting about four feet from, and in direct line of sight to my iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 11.3.1, with no other applications running (I force-closed them all), using Amazon Music or Pandora. Eight Sonos devices in the house, grouped, or not grouped. Only the Sonos 1 supports Airplay. 1) Various dropouts: Fairly often – averaging more than once during each song, the music stops for less than a second, sometimes longer than a second, or several seconds, sometimes skipping early to a new song, and sometimes audio output simply shuts down completely, with the only restart being to go back to the app and re-connect. 2) Long connect times - Connect times are longer than anticipated, sometimes 10+ seconds. 3) Noisier than it should be: And when connecting and these stops and starts, the cut-off or “cut-on” isn’t always smooth, and is occasionally obn

How do I control the sonos one volumes from my Apple TV remote?

Are the Internal web pages gone after the recent 9.0 update? I get this from every page and device (1, 3, 5v1, 5v2 and ZP-80) I've tried give me only an: Error 400 - Bad Request Diagnostic: 583533240 Replace the sonoszp80 with your IP address to try your system) http://sonoszp80:1400/status http://sonoszp80:1400/reboot http://sonoszp80:1400/advconfig.htm http://sonoszp80:1400/wifictrl

My controller only works when I disable my avast protection on my pc windows 10 64 bit operation system. My avast version is 18.5.2342 (build 18.5.3931.0). Any advise is appreciated thank you stephen.

So hardware buttons and lock screen no longer work. I've uninstalled the app, reset the controller, and still nothing. Audio buttons only control the phone - or nothing at all. No lock screen anything. Why does this seem to happen with 80% of iOS builds? Is Apple freezing out Sonos, or has Sonos engineering just failed? (see v8.6 update debacle)

Is there a way to automate playing music on my sonos? We have a play one in one of our bathrooms and the kids always put their music on it and when I use it I don't want to go through the multiple menus to play my music. We use Rhapsody and the kids usually have a playlist that they play. I usually use one of the radio stations 80's rock. On the sonos controller you have to go through 4-5 menu's to get to this particular station and it is laborious. I'm thinking of a "button" a zee wave button, an amazon "dash" button or something similar that has a single purpose. Push it and it sends the proper commands to sonos to tell it to play rhapsody channel "80's rock" on this play1 at this volume. Thats all it does. We could have another button that plays the kids play list. No need to navigate the controller at all, just push and play. Has this been done? Can this be done. Seems like it would be a great feature.

Can you enable Siri Voice control for your Sonos One without IOS device?

i am not able to add a song to the queue using pc software or android device. when this happens i am unable to submit diagnostics so please dont ask me too. the only thing i can think of is the router but i have done everything the client support has told me to do. please fix this issue. I dont seem to have any problems with the apple products that are in the house just android and pc.

Now that Sonos has updated its controller to work with Airplay 2 is it possible to link my sonos 1 speakers with my Apple HomePod? If so how do I do that?

When do you think that Sonos will release an update with Airplay 2 support?

When will there be a visually improvement of the desktop controller.. It looks so old fashioned!

Like many of you, I am extremely disappointed by the latest app update. I have been a long-time and heavy user. The latest update and recent issues I have getting reliable performance, has made me wonder if there are any 3rd party apps that could be used in lieu of the Sonos app on apple devices.
