Controllers and Music services

Sonos app allows anybody to play/use if they have Wifi access. So if i share my wifi password with my guest he gets access to my Sonos set-up. With bridge we had to connect once with bridge, which was some what a security feature. Even better if we could control access to certain group of speakers. I don't want children/guest to use my bedroom speakers only their rooms and my be common areas.

I don't seem to be able to play music from my Sono app in my car. Does any one know why? Please explain why? I have downloaded music through Apple Music. Is it only music you play for that could be played in a car?

Playbase and speakers all working fine on the TV and volume can be controlled via the TV remote. However since the last upgrade all the Android Apps (phone, tablet) can't "find" my Sonos. When you start the App .... Searching for Sonos on WiFI, Hang on ... Can't connect. Unplug router, reinstall App, ... Nada. As I said the playbase and the remote speakers all work fine off the TV, I just can't play music from my phone or use the apps advanced sound features like speech enhancement, nighttime etc.

My 8 node Sonos system has worked for years using the SonosNet and my CR100 is still going - but I accept that in the name of progress I will have to ditch it soon. IOS and Android apps on my mobile devices do not always manage to connect to my system because they use my home wireless network (not the SononsNet) and coverage is not as good as the Sonos mesh (which the CR100 uses). This leads me to my question...in order to improve my home wireless network I am going to buy a 3 node mesh system plugged directly into my internet router - I am concerned that this will set up a separate network from the one used by Sonos thereby preventing wireless devices connected to the new mesh (eg. Android apps) from connecting to wired devices connected to my router (eg. Sonos bridge). Can you confirm that I have nothing to worry about? Surely, since both the new mesh and the existing Sonos bridge will be connected directly to my router (and this will be my DHCP server unless the ne

Is there a way to add all my songs on my iphone to the queue in one step? Browse to "on this phone" then a play all. Same question for the PC controller. I find it very frustrating to have to build a playlist.

Forgive me if there is already a thread on this topic. I see the thread regarding how the API update effects the CR100, but I wanted to discuss the new API features, if announced and what that means, as well as speculate on unannounced features. IMO, Sonos has to be awre that many customers are going to be upset with the CR100, so it's safe to assume they believe this API update is an absolutel necessity and/or will make just as many customers happy. [Please don't use this thread to complain about the lose of CR100 or any other features lost. Other threads for that. Let's just talk about new features] I got an email from Yonomi describe some of the features. - Improved stereo pair/surround zone support. What does that mean? The only thing i can come up with is the ability to create or remove a pair/surround setting through API. Perhaps there will be a feature to play audio on a specific speaker in a zone setup without first breaking the speaker out of the pair/surroun

I use Tidal HiFi, and I loooove their desktop app. It's been announced that you can control Sonos from their app like Spotify Connect. I don't know if I have set it up poorly, or if it's a mobile exclusive feature for now? If it is available for desktop, does anyone know what to do? Maybe I am missing a crucial part? Tidal works, but I can't use their app. Any help from avid Tidal users would be grand, thanks for the help if you choose to reply. 🙂

Can you hide a playlist? I made a Christmas playlist, but now the songs keep playing well beyond Christmas. On iTunes I simply uncheck the boxes for songs that I don't want to play. Somehow this doesn't register in my Sonos. Help. I also made a Sonos playlist of Christmas songs. Do I have to delete the entire thing until next year?

My friends at SONOS, can you "please" take your iOS app and port it to run on TvOS? This would be a grand slam for me and others who use Apple TV 4, have it connected to their home entertainment system and have SONOS speakers all over the house. Home Run! Grand Slam! Bingo. Please please please......

Sonos always crashes after I try to shuffle my songs in Apple Music. When will this be fixed?

Hi. New to Sonos and this community. I just started putting a system together and I am in love. Like romantically head over heels in love with this brand and the products. I know it sounds weird and I have been talking to my therapist about it. But I digress.... These may have already been suggested, but for an even more optimal sound experience I’d make the following suggestions: 1. A more expanded EQ, to include at least a Mid-Level slider (to go along with the Bass and Treble). The more sliders the better, but at least add that third. 2. The ability to have distinct EQ settings for TV and Music. I know there are some surround sound speaker adjustments that can be made. But the full EQ settings would be great. 3. Ability to adjust right vs left volume of my surrounds. The way my apartment is set, just so happens that my couch/chairs are much closer to the left surround than the right. I really don’t want to get a stand to place the right surround for va

When playing music and getting an incoming call on my android phone there's no easy and fast way to mute the music, (as I now about). Is there any way to have this issue fixed. As it is today I choose to not play music due to incoming work calls.

One feature that I and many other people would like to see on all Sonos speakers would be that when the user presses pause/stop the audio would gradually decrease to mute before stoping, that way when playing music at any level you don't harm the speaker(s). I personally decrease the volume to mute before presses pause/stop, it would be nice to have that feature built-in to the echo system. If the user doesn't want that feature they you can disable it, as it is on by default.

Currently the option to switch of the status light only switches off one of the lights on top of the new Sonos one speaker. Please, if possible can all of the lights on the top switch off, there is no point having one light go off and the other stay on, for example in a dark bedroom....

The release notes for version 6 indicates that Trueplay is supported by Play:1, Play:3, and Play:5 units. Has anyone tried it on a ZonePlayer S5?

Absolutely feb up to the back teeth with all the updates and having to continually reset my router of toggle WiFi to get the app connected to my system nalways used to be fine until all the updates I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve updated in the last 6 months

I added an additional Sonos 1 to my "TV room" and accidentally assigned it to "family room." How do I fix that so it's part of the "Living room"? Also, i have two Sonos ones in there already set as stereo. Do I add the third Sonos 1 as an independent source? What's best? Thanks for your help!

I am a GREAT fan of Sonos but I am one of those dinosaurs who like HiFI you can touch and I LOVE my dedicated hardware controllers CR100 for my SONOS system. Having the SONOS app on my Smartphone along with a lot of other apps is just not as intuitive to me when I want to control my Sonos as the CR100 is. I have just heard that service of the CR100 will be discontinued April 2018 and that they will even be locked out of my SONOS system and thereafter useless. To say it mildly I am very disapointed!!! I do understand that Sonos will not update these very old controlers any more but WHY cut them out of the system for good??? I would gladly accept limited funtionality from these units and keep it to Mute/Volume control and Next/play/pause if it ment that I could keep these online. PLEASE SONOS RECONSIDER and let the CR100 have a place in my brilliant SONOS system. PLEASE!!

It would be great if the Sonos app could function as the Android homescreen/launcher. I'm certain many people would like to purchase  (cheap $50) tablets to function as a dedicated Sonos controller. Any Android app can be extended to function as a homescreen/launcher simply by adding some additional blocks in the Android manifest file and being able to handle a few extra callbacks. This will be very little work to do on top of the existing Android app.

I just upgraded to Sierra on my Mac and want to install the Sonos App. Nothing happens. It looks like in Sierra the third party install option is not available. There has to be another way to install it. Would like to stream music from my Mac. Currently it does work on my iPhone. Please help.

Is Sonos tracking user response to this update? I've been taking a screenshot of reviews from the Google Play Store daily. Here is a breakdown of the Play Store reviews from 10/7/2017 to 10/15/2017. 5 star: +8 4 star: -5 3 star: +32 2 star: +155 1 star: +396 I have attached screenshots for reference. At a ratio of 137.75 bad reviews (1 or 2 star) to every single good review (4 or 5 star), I think it's safe to say that most users don't like this update. I don't have stats from the Apple Store, but the reviews from there indicate IOS users have very strong negative reactions. From what I've seen on the forums, the response here is not much better. Can we expect some type of fix soon?

I have a sonos speaker in my office and it literally has never worked for more than one song. It's constantly disconnecting, skipping songs, fading in and out. The desktop app is a complete mess and the mobile app can never connect. It prompts me to update the software on my sonos but then cannot connect to do so. Worst software ever! What a waste!

I'm trying to do a factory reset to clear all the settings of a ZP100. I've done the following: 1) Unplugged the ZP100 and waited for a minute 2) Pressed the Mute button and plugged the ZP100 back in 3) Waited for the orange/amber light to flash However, instead of turning flashing green it reverts to solid white light. Would appreciate any help? (And I've tried contacting Sonos customer support but they say since I bought this unit used (off ebay), I'm not entitled to support.) The reason I'm doing a reset is because the ZP100 no longer connects to my home internet - wired or wireless - so I'd like to "start over" with it in hopes that I can get it to connect. (It used to work before the Holidays...)

Folks, I see postings but no resolution to this and I haven't had any responses from the wise people at Sonos that aid but does anyone have an issue with grouped alarms with 8.2. Essentially when setting an alarm there is an option to turn on a "grouped room" switch. however this doesn't work (only the primary room plays the music, I have to regroup manually) and when I edit the alarm the button does not reflect my prior selection to group alarms. Is there something I am missing? I have about 11 different Sonos devices on the same network.
