Controllers and Music services

I recently updated the Sonos Apps on my Windows 10 laptop and Android phone. (SONOS's Forced upgrade to version 8.2) Then the Pandora (Standard Account) Thumbs Up/Down buttons are missing. I just used them a few hours ago until the App update. Does anyone notice the same? Any idea why the existing working function is removed by SONOS? Any insight on this issue is appreciated. Thanks!

The only issue is since the new app it never finish up it alway fails. The whole SONOS eco system has gone to pot, but rest assured they are listening and working on it.......

I saw posts up to six years ago asking for more options on the duration of the Sonos alarm function. Seems like a simple request yet nothing has been done. Lets face it, we mostly use the alarm function as a scheduler because it's our only choice. I use it daily so I don't miss my favorite Internet radio shows. Problem is I need it to stay on for 3-4 hours, the length of the show, and my choices are either 2 hours or "indefinitely". I've seen others who need shorter alarms too, say 30 second to 5 minutes. I say why not just let the users decide exactly how long to set it for? Can we PLEASE get this on the next software update? Even just adding a 3 hour and a 4 hour option would solve my issue. Ultimately though, Sonos needs a separate scheduling function so the alarm can be an alarm and the rest of us can set Sonos up to work with better our lifestyles. Thanks, I hope someone at Sonos reads this.

This isn't one of those table thumping demands asking Sonos to stand to attention and fix what I don't like. I know these forums don't work like that. However it's been nearly 2 weeks since Sonos's rather bullish launch of the V8 app, and I'm sure they weren't expecting the tidal wave of dissent that has followed. Now, before I go any further, I know there are people out there who jsut love the new app, and there are those who love the new black and white colour scheme. And I totally get that the the people who are unhappy are more likely to post on these forums than those that are happy. However, regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, this very public display of dissatisfaction is not a very good for the company or its users. So maybe it's about time Sonos now made a statement -- not in reply to this or to me, or even on this forum, but something to say where the company stands which v8. Is it the vision the company sees

Hi All, A while ago I posted information about a Kodi addon controller (XBMC at the time) . Since then it's home has changed location and some poeple on the Kodi forum have struggled to find it. It's new hosting is the following repository: http://www.urepo.org/Addon.php?t=15520 Thanks Rob

The volume buttons on my iPhone and iPad don't have any effect in the Sonos controller app after installing iOS 11.2 beta. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

Has anyone found a way to stream Sonos sound via Sonos' PC software through your PC's soundcard? Basically use your PC as a player?

As Sonos asked for constructive criticism and feedback in response to the 8.0 backlash, here's my take on it. WHAT"S WRONG WITH IT? The new app has quite a lengthy list of issues. Several of which aren't even points of debate as they are so obvious. I'll start with quickly highlighting those before moving on to the fundamental problem, which is the new way of navigation. Too bright The new predominantly white design is a problem in any context with dimmed light (evening living room, bedroom, etc). It's no coincedence in this regard that GPS systems have a night mode In addition the elements that did remain black - like the current room or the nav bar - don't draw attention and feel inactive. When switching rooms for example, I'm inclined to tap the room a second time, as making the current selection darker just doesn't feel like on. Big and bloated

I have just updated my Play 3 with update 8.1.1, now nothing will play, I can not add anything to queue, either on my dest top or mobile app. Are songs aware of this issue? Any help would be greatly appriecated.

Is it me, why can you not play all tracks added to the Sonos Favorites list at once/queue them all? it seems counter intuitive you can add to the list fine, and play the odd track - great, what's annoying is the sudden silence when your track finishes. You can play all tracks from a playlist - why not the Sonos Favorites? Instead replace Sonos Favorites with 'THE QUEUE'. [yes i know it kind of exists] but needs to be much more prominent and accessible. You can then see on whatever controller what the heck is actually playing..a much more useful feature.

Guys the information you provide to unlink an unauthorised email account is in adequate and does not contain the information that is needed. Furthermore sending the same information by email from technical support is pointless. The android app does not contain any link to remove an unauthorised email account instead it says that a speaker/device needs to be added to an unauthorised email account. Sonos need to provide an easy link from the Settings page of the app.

The app on Android is much harder to use. Voice control is nice, but the design is not intuitive. This is just my opinion and I'm giving it time but it is just not easy to use.

Ok so I have a sonos in my bathroom. What Id like to do is set up three playlist from apple music that Ive made to be able to be played while getting ready. Considering that pressing the pop button can only start a playlist, does that mean everytime i take a shower Ill only hear the first 5 or so songs in the playlist? can i use ifttt or my smart things or harmony hub to shuffle my playlist?

Nearly 2 years ago I purchased multiple Sonos speakers. I have no regrets, as Sonos truly sounds magnificent. Sonos also has a top notch customer service, for if you have connection problems. What else could you ask for… Well, how about giving us the Sonos controller interface we deserve. At the moment it’s terrible! I’d like to see it made better, more complete and more intuitive. At the moment I’m running the app on Windows 10 and Android. I would like to address the following issues. Issues that prevent me from exploiting the biggest pro Sonos has to offer me! Making playlists with nearly unlimited possible variations. I like to hang upside down on my sofa clicking around doing all I want with just one app! The Windows 10 desktop controller app In general: • The search bar cannot browse all platforms at the same time (e.g., a separate search has to be made for Soundcloud, Spotify, your music library

I am so sad to say that they have not yet done this. However, if they read any of the feedback that customers are leaving on Google Play or here on this website they must be thinking about it. But it is hard to announce that you made a HUGE mistake. It takes guts. PLEASE HELP TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ROLL BACK..... Sonos ALL COULD BE FORGIVEN, just tell us that you will give us back the old phone App or something that looks, feels and works like it did.

When changing from one room to another I first have to select the new room together with the old one and accept. Then I have to remove the old room and accept before I can use the new room. Extremely annoying. No problems before upgrading to new and worse version of app.:@:@:@

Can I play Sonos-sourced music on AirPods?

Siri is used by so many people, and now that HomePod is being released how will you compete with that Siri integration?

Finished standard setting up of a second hand Play 3 after long struggle. Ready to move speaker but it stops working when I disconnect the ethernet cable. Any ideas please.

Since the latest update (which i dont like by the way) I am finding it difficult to deselect rooms. If i am playing music in multiple rooms bur then want to remove one room i will uncheck the box for that room, press done but the room still remains in. Anyone else finding this problem?

I've been a big Sonos fan for many years. Boy am I frustrated with latest iOS app!! The biggest thing that irks me is if my app is focused on one room and I want to change my focus to another room, I can't do it without first joining the two rooms into a group! It happens every time, without fail. For example, my wife will have started playing something (via her iphone) in the kitchen, and asks me to change it to another station. I bring up my iPhone, and notice that my app is currently set for Living Room speakers. So I click on Living Room at the bottom, and I see all my zones and only Living Room is checked. Since I want Kitchen, I uncheck Living Room OFF and check Kitchen ON. Then I click Done. Does it switch me to Kitchen? NOOOO. It keeps my iPhone on Living Room. I do it over and over, to no avail. It leaves me wherever I was before. The ONLY way to get my iPhone to switch to Kitchen is to select BOTH Living Room and Kitchen, let the music play in both rooms (which I

Im having this problem a lot!! id tried to reset my modem, disconnect an reconnect the speaker, nothing works!! and the problem have been increasing last 3 weeks... some times a can listen music at all during the day, some times it works and suddenly in the middle of the song the music turns off or change the song.

2 days ago I set up two Sonos 1 plays in one room. All ok until I began the Trueplay part. SONOS app needs to get permission to access the iPad microphone. The app did not appear in the “Settings / Privacy / Microphone” section. I have created submitted this to SONOS support but have not heard from them for 48 hours - help!

I have recently changed phones, and on the lock screen, I have the 'Sonos Playbar app' which shows it is connected to my Wireless system. But I DO NOT have a playbar, but other Sonos solutions. I have removed the Sonos app thinking that would fix the problem, but the Playbar is still there on my lockscreen. I have searched, but cannot find a solution to removing this, so I hope someone here can help.
