Sonos desktop app only sees playlists on Spotify

Sonos One SL ,Spotify Premium user, Win 11 laptop has Sonos app. Have installed Spotify through Sonos site. When I open Sonos on PC and select Spotify, it sees only Playlists, not songs or podcasts. I can play those through Android mobile. Why not from laptop?

2 IconLists

While creating an implementation in C# to interface with my sonos Symfonisk, I noticed that the xml data contains 2 IconLists. Both with only one item. The only difference is that one contains an ID entry with the value 0 and the other doesn’t. Can anyone explain why this is?

Confused about groups

Ok - I am new to sonos and am quite confused by groups. My setup: I have a stereo pair in my kitchen, and then an Arc in my living room. I currently have two room choices when I want to play music: “Kitchen” and “TV Room.” I would like to have a third choice: both. I could name this “Downstairs” or “All speakers.” I would like it so that when I press this “room” they all play. I’m very confused why this isn’t an option. When I go to settings, groups is greyed out, and it says it’s not available to me because I have two rooms. But I’m confused becuase I would like a group that includes both rooms. I’ve read online that there should be an “everywhere” group but I cannot find that. When I pull up the groupings, there is no such button. This all seems very illogical to me and I am getting frustrated. Thanks.

picture request: lock screen controls when playing via assistance.

It took me a long time to figure this out but when music is played on Sonos via a voice assistant command then lock screen controls and notification shade controls on Android don't show up. This happens even if you open the Sonos app and view that room. If you initiate playback selection from the Sonos controller itself it will in fact show up on the lock screen and in a notification shade. it would be great if the lock screen and notification shade controls show up regardless of where the music playback was initiated.

Feature request: S2 Android App

HiCan I suggest the following changes to the Android S2 app, please?Please make the mute button bigger. I have to hit it two or three times for it to activate.S2 ScreenshotPlease make the app load quicker. It takes a full 7 seconds for the app to load and if i navigate away from the Sonos screen, it has to load all over again. This is very frustrating when I am working on multiple apps. If I setup a group of speakers all linked to my Beam and for one reason or another I need to mute this, the group gets broken and I need to set it up again.Thanks for you support. Arrowmaker

I need to blow away and reconfigure my zones

Looks the names of my zones have been changed somehow in my sonos profile and it is causing some rooms to play music and one of my rooms I can’t get music to play. I looked at my setup and it looks like the names are different from what was originally set up I need to redo my configuration and start from scratch.  What is the best way to do that?

Feature request - configure alarm to play in mulitple rooms

I can’t find anywhere this has been requested before, which I find surprising. I think there should be the ability to select multiple rooms when configuring an alarm. Yes I know you can select to include grouped rooms.  But this relies on someone checking that rooms are grouped correctly before going to bed.  We have tried and failed to do this consistently in a busy household - it’s not a satisfactory solution. The alarm should have the ability to group rooms to achieve the desired outcome. We have tried setting the same alarm up in multiple rooms, but this produces an impossibly pronounced echo effect!!

Searching for classical music on Apple Music

Anybody out there able to get to a classical recording on Apple Music using the composer and opus#?I find any attempt to “drill down” into a more specific search (artist, type of composition, key signature, etc.) always results in an Apple “I can’t find anything” response. T.I.A.

Please add a native Apple:TV App

Hi Sonos Team,please create a native Apple:TV (maybe also for Android TV) which displays current album art, song, musician and potentially other information for a selected audio zone as well as basic controls (volume control, next song, etc.).Thanks

Queue Countdown

A cool feature, I think, would be to have a countdown shown on the Queue screen. Hours, minutes, and seconds. Not sure that its particularly useful, but, strikes me as a nice-to-have.

Sonos not stopping - continues to play immediately

Hi,since the last software update Sonos is not stopping anymore. If I press stop on iOS or Mac software, it pauses for a second but then reconnects and plays again. Same with hardware button.Experienced on Play:1, One, ROAM and Beam. And with Sirius XM or TuneIn Radio stream. Did not test with other speakers or streaming sources.Only way to fix it is mute volume or remove/ungroup speaker.

Sonos App affected by Outlook Notifications

Realme X50 Android phone.Interaction between MS Outlook and Sonos app was fine until yesterday. Whilst using my phone to listen in my Beam 2 every time I receive an email the app would switch off the radio. I've had to turn off notifications as a fix but far from an ideal solution.What are the chances Sonos will fix this bug?

SONOS S2 windows app crashes trying to load large, embedded album art

I found that when the album art embedded in an mp3 or flac file is too large (for example 1080x1080), then the SONOS S2 app crashes when trying to load and display it. I tried reducing the album art (to 200x200) and it solved the problem. This issue affects the S2 app on both Windows 10 and Windows 7.This may explain some of the app crashes reported by S2 users.
