Requested Feature bluetooth from app

Can you please add a toggle on the app (android, apple) to switch to bluetooth? It's really frustrating I have to switch from wifi to bluetooth… I have to go over to the speaker and manually put it in bluetooth mode vs. just using the app and putting it into bluetooth mode or at least add the functionality on Google or Alexa assistant to voice command to turn on bluetooth for the Sonos Move (and other devices).ThanksP.S. can someone forward this to headquarters?Thanks in advance

Feature Request: Structured library of favorites

Hi,It would be great if one could create a library of favorite albums from different sources (local NAS, streaming services) and access them in a structured manner. For example like the music library, via genre, artist etc. or at least via a self-created folder structure or tags. Regards, Robert

HelloMy music library keeps disappearing hours/days after I’ve imported it, and having been able to play music from it. When I try to play something in my music library I get the “No selections are available” error message.The problem is the same using the Sonos S1 Controller on Mac (OS 11.1) and iPhone (iOS 14.3) app.I’ve submitted diagnostics: confirmation number 1533071357.I’ve tried deleting and adding the music folder in the Sonos controller to no avail.Thanks for any tips/suggestions.FB

Add music file on OneDrive

Hi - I am trying to add my FLAC file collection to Sonos which is now stored on OneDrive but I receive the error message ‘is no longer available’. Is it possible to link to OneDrive on my MacBook without all the files being downloaded to my HD or not? If not - can you recommend a workaround? (I have the same files on my LAN in WD MyCloud which doesn't work either, or I could add them to my iMac but Sonos doesn’t seem able to find this machine on the same network!) Appreciate any pointers please…(Used to work fine when I had the files stored on my PC but that one is now on the scrap-heap...)

Commercials in a different language after several days of use - Sonos Radio

Hi,I recently got a Sonos One SL that i love very much.I discovered the Radio option and i used it for days. I was really happy with it because I had small “commercials” and small history facts about the bands in English. But since today, I get longer commercials in Dutch (I am living in Belgium and it is an official language) as well. I get that it is a free service and commercials is the way they fund it but is there a reason that it suddenly changed? And is it possible to get it back as it was before?Thank you in advance,Alex

Preset/Set default Sonos TV-Channel volume

Where/how can I set the PRESET the Sonos-TV-Channel Sound Volume, set a DEFAULT SPEAKER VOLUME for my Sonos-TV Channel (Linked to my Playbase/Sub/Play3/ Surround HomeTheater  setup via Playbase – Digital Fiber TV input)S2- TV Autoplay mode is enabled, yet seems to lag Sound Volume PRESET controls.Sonos “Playbase/Sub/Play3 Surround” group remembers last used “Room-Volume-level”, yet doesn’t remember or honor last-used - TV-Channel volume.As a result if you boost up Room-Level Volume and turn-on the TV, then same boosted-level is used for TV-channel.If you turn down Room-level, then TV-sound level is also downAt present being forced to frequently adjust the Sonos-TV Channel volume each time we turn on the TV set, most annoying

Can't run Sonos app on my Windows 10 laptop anymore

Hi,2 days ago, I clicked on the Sonos 1 icon on my laptop (Windows 10) and I got a setup assistant menu displayed showing a list of languages. This menu was frozen i.e. I couldn’t select anything and then it all disappeared. The result is that it is now impossible to run Sonos on my laptop.  Anyone got an answer on this?

Varför finner jag inte samma innehåll som på Spotify

Krull och kriminell finns på Spotify med många pod avsnitt.Sonos får jag bara fram en live sändning. skulle önska att sök funktionen var mer snarlik den i Spotify  då den inte är lika  känslig för felstavning.

Playlists - changing from Apple Music to Spotify

I have created some playlists.  I guess the content is from my Apple Music subscription (?) I have just cancelled with Apple and signed up with Spotify.  Will my playlist just pull the playlist content from Spotify, or will I lose them once my Apple subscription ends? Thanks, Kate

Volume Normalization

Hi. A problem with Volume Normalization still persists on Sonos. I have all my aac and alac music with both replay gain and iTunes iVolume tags applied and there is still a problem with the music playing either too loud or too quiet when shuffle mode is applied. The problem is also there when streaming from Spotify and Amazon Music.

Using Spotify Duo Plan member stream for Sonos

We want to listen to Spotify on our Sonos and listen to a different Spotify stream on another device,I have a Spotify Duo plan in which I am the plan manger and my wife is a plan member. We want Sonos to use her member account to listen to her music while I listen to my podcasts on my manager account. How do we set this up. I’ve looked at family account advice but it wasn’t than useful.

A Little Lite Conversation: Which Music Services Do You Use?

Looking at this community as more than just a support/help/complaint place but an actual community of people like-minded and passionate in an enjoyment of music, home theater and everything Sonos. I thought it would be fun to see what music services people use and an idea of how often. Unfortunately, Sonos does not have a Vote button like some community rooms so we can do it the old fashioned way, here’s mine that my family uses:Paid Subscriptions: Apple Music: 20% (mostly teenagers), Sonos Radio HD: 30% (wife and I), Amazon Music: 10% (freebie part of Prime, teenagers using Alexa), Calm: <5% (was education worker freebie), Sirius XM: 30% (freebie included with lifelong Sirius subscription from a long time ago, wife and I).Unpaid Subscriptions:  Music Library: 5% (mostly me), Pandora: <5%, Audible, Bandcamp, Libby, LiveXLive, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tunein.

Thoughts on the Sonos Presents Curated Channels?

Anyone take the time to listen to some of the curated Sonos Presents channels? Likes? Dislikes? In general, except for The DP Songteller Radio, I have enjoyed them all in bits and pieces here in there. Enjoy a little bit of background and stories on why they picked the songs but not too much. A lot of music I hadn’t heard or normally wouldn’t listen to but enjoy none the less. I like the variety. Really enjoy the new D’Angelo & Third Man Records and the Brittany Howard was pretty good as well. Wish they would be longer as they start to recycle after a few hours. Right now Sound System is a tough listen to me as it is just way all over the board and I don’t have a schedule of what “show” or style of music is playing when. At least Apple Music 1 etc. has a schedule for you to see. My thoughts.

How to listen to Podcasts via Spotify using Sonos Windows app?

It’s probably right in front of my eyes but for some reason I can’t seem to find the podcasts section when I browse the Spotify source in this newest sonos for windows app? I could have sworn there was a podcasts section after I tap into spotify but now all I see is playlists, songs, albums when I go to my library. Has it been removed?
