Pandora: "Account not found", but it exists!

I can't seem to add Pandora. I'm using Controller for PC with Connect:AMP. I was able to add my songza and google music accounts. When I tried to add my Pandora account, it says "connecting" for a while, and then gives a "Account not found" error. I know the account exists because I can login with the same credentials on Pandora.com. I then tried to create a brand new account. That too gave the same error. Version: 5.2 (build 28183040) Hardware Version: 1.16.3.1-1

Losing Library Connection after Sleep (Mac)

After my Mac sleeps I lose connection to my music library and have to "Update Music Library" and it is fine. Network is wired from the Mac to the NAS drive where the library is stored.

No parental limits or controls? Please say I've misunderstood...

Oh, rats. I just bought three controllers as a test run -- hoping to get two more -- but they'll all have to be returned if there's no way to turn on or off any controls at all. For example, now that I've installed the Sonos controller, the app offers direct radio access with no limitations or filters at all -- which means I can't possibly allow my young kids to use the app to control their own music to their own bedroom, because when handing them access to all our family's music library on my computer, I'm handed them at the same time a controller for all the radio stations. Please tell me I've missed something here. This makes no sense at all. Even iTunes lets you hide or limit features. I let my kids listen to my iTunes library... but to stream that same library to a Sonos speaker becomes a visit to the adult book shop. Please, please tell me there's a solution. Otherwise... back to the drawing board.

Reverse list from Spotify

Spotify: I like to play my newest added songs easy from the top of a playlist. Sonos always show the playlist the opposite way. The latest added in the bottom. Today I have to start to play from my Spotify-app from my phone to get it done the right way... 😞

It has probably been asked a thousand times but when is the integration with the Amazon Echo going to show up? I am sure I read that it was going to be Q1 2017 (may be mistaken) but not heard or read anything for a long time. Whats the story? Many thanks

Future development/ideas??

Here are some ideas and suggestions for future developments, does anyone know if these are available now or in a pipeline for future development: 1) linking devices: Can a small device be built to attach a single device like a TV, radio, ipad, tablet or PC and will allow the device and sonos speaker to connect and play? 2) Quick actions device: Can a small device be developed to allow for quick actions such as volume & grouping and changing sound output without having to open a phone/pad app? 3) Portable speakers: Can the sonos 1 be made portable? 4) Speakers voice control: Can the sonos speakers be made voice controllled? 5) Group speakers: Can different speakers be grouped as one in a room such as a play 1 & play 3 or 5, currently i have a play 1 & 3 in one room but these cant be linked to show as one speaker in the same room, i have them as kitchen & kitchen 2 and have to keep grouping them manually. Many thanks Tony

what does the alphabet list on the iOS app do?

On my iPhone 6, the Sonos app shows a list of the alphabet letters down the right-hand side of the screen when I display the "songs" listing. If I slide my finger up & down the alphabet, a larger version of each letter appears near the lower centre of the main screen. I'd expect the main list to jump to that letter when I lift off my finger but nothing seems to happen at all. I would also expect that if I tapped on a single letter that the main list would jump to that letter, but again nothing happens (other than that the adjacent song sometimes gets sleeted because of fat finger syndrome). I'm attaching a screenshot here. My songs are on a NAS drive (a Brennan B2) and I haven't yet grouped them into artists, albums etc as that info apparently doesn't get transferred from the B2. I have no trouble using this sort of alphabetic slider in (f'rinstance) the Contacts app on the iPhone but cannot see how it's supposed to work in the Sonos app.

VPN Possibilities

I'm planning to create a VPN between my holiday home in USA and my main home in UK. Its really so I can access BBC iplayer and use Wi-Fi calling on my mobile phone. Then I got to thinking what other possibilities this might open up. If I get a Sonos box or two in USA will I be able to access my music library on my NAS and have access to all my music services on my UK setup? If its possible is there any way this needs to be configured?

Unable to add music library to Sonos Controller

I used to be able to access my music (all in iTunes) with my Sonos controller; however, it has abruptly stopped working.  When I try to add the folder to my Music Library, I get the error message: "Unable to add the shared folder "\\AMY-PC\Music" to your Music Library (1002)."  I've seen that this is a common error and believe I have followed the steps otherwise laid out (e.g., Kaspersky firewall access).  I'm still receiving the error.  Any ideas?
