Missing related album links in playlists! Why?!

When enjoying a song in a playlist, you used to be able to click on the down arrow and see the related album a track came from and then start playing that. This option has been removed in the latest update. WHY?! Seems a mad removal. 👇

Lost local radio stations

Our local radio stations still appear in our favourites but they will not play. The only thing we have done is switch to Execulink from Rogers. Yesterday I spent two hours on the phone with Sonos support and was not able to find anything wrong with my Sonos. Is it possible for telecoms to restrict access and if so why?

Feature request for controller app

I would very much like to see an enhancement added to the controller app, especially for the desktop.There are at least two functions I would like to see the elimination of the pop up confirmation: Update Music Library Now, and, Clear Queue. There could be others but they don’t spring to mind at the moment.My suggestion is to add a setting that would be referenced when the two functions mentioned above are used. I would describe it as an expert setting. When set to expert mode, those annoying pop up confirmations would not be presented. The end result would be a 1 button click experience where either the music library would be re-indexed or the list of items in the queue would be cleared.My thought would be to add another high level item in the Settings list after Additional Usage Data. Call it Expert Settings. When selected, the right side would present controls like those of EQ: a label “Expert Setting for:” then a drop down with a list containing “Library Update” and “Now Playing Qu

Problem controlling One when grouped with Arc

I have an Arc with surrounds (play:1) in my Living Room, and a One in my open plan kitchen, grouped so I can I play TV sound in the kitchen when cooking etc. and want to mute the kitchen speaker at other times. I have a Harmony Elite remote, and my tv activities include the Living Room (arc+surrounds) and Kitchen speakers. I assign a button on the remote to ‘Mute’ the Kitchen speaker. But it Mutes the arc instead?I have deleted and recreated the activity several times. Then I realised that even in the Sonos app, the muting is not working as it should.  It seems it only works If I use a Play:1 in the kitchen, but I’d like Alexa here. Any ideas?

HK Music service support

Hello any HK Sonos fan here? 🙋🏻Any idea on supporting more HK local music service Moov/Joox on Sonos? Is there anyway we can send feedback to the Sonos team?A bit frustrated that some of the most common local music service cannot be found in the app. Though Sonos has amazing sound and user experience.

App not showing output in volume screen.

Hi All, Is anyone else's app not showing what the audio output is when on the volume control screen? It's only showing in the system > about my system section. I'm sure it was still showing after the June update.

Sonos alarm - BBC sounds / My sounds / Subscribed - not expanding

BBC sounds is working fine on my Sonos. Before about a month ago, I could set my Sonos alarm to be a prog that I had subscribed to via BBC sounds / My sounds / Subscribed / select the subscribed set of shows / select the show. A month ago, the above stopped at the ‘Subscribed’ screen with no way to then ‘select the subscribed set of shows’.  This was on both my Samsung phone and the Windows PC app. Any idea why I cannot now select one of my subscribed programmes? Note this goes for all the options from the My Sounds page - the ‘subscribed’, ‘continue listening’ and ‘latest’.  None of them expand to show the selection of shows.  If I just go with selecting ‘subscribed’, the alam does not work and I get a standard Sonos chime in the morning.Help!  Please!!Many thanks.

Input dependent speaker switching

I have a Sonos Five, Beam, and Symfonisk satellites in my living room. The Five is purely there to connect my turntable, so I do not want it to play when the TV is being used. Is there a way to accomplish this without having to manually toggle speakers every time we switch from the turntable to the TV?

TURN OFF SHUFFLE

I am using Sonos One on a Mac. I make playlists using using Spotify, not Apple. There are two symbols on the Sonos playlist page. One is obviously shuffle; I think the other is repeat. I do not want to do either of these things. I just spent over three hours making a 54-song playlist, and I want it played in order, NOT shuffled.I chose “play, even though it was grayed out (because there was no other choice) instead of the shuffle symbol above my playlist. But when the playlist went into the left-hand column to play, it automatically rearranged all 54 songs. This happens to ALL of my playlists; I have no control over it. But this one I wanted in order. Now it’s all jumbled up.

But on the S2 app under the Surround Audio setting page,the Surround Distance categories are not activated and no adjustments can be made.

Sonos Pro-ject wireless to amp

Hi,I’m thinking of buying a Project debut turntable. I have a Sonos amp which is linked to a set of old QUAD speakers. I would like to place the turntable in another spot (the same room) than the amp. Is it possible to link the turntable wireless to the amp? Or does it has to be connected by cable to the amp? Thank you for the advice! regards David

Let's get Move paired with the Play 5 Subwoofer

I saw that this answer/suggestion has been closed but I think it’s time to realize that customers with thousands of dollars invested into a SONOS system would like to see the functionality of a MOVE system paired with the PLAY 5 Subwoofer once and for all. Yes, the MOVE is designed for playability around the house and in outdoor settings but there are those of us that might have need for the MOVE to be used with a PLAY 5 Subwoofer. SONOS, get to work on this!
