Digital Radio quality

Have only had my system, Play 1 & 3, for 12 hours so far and love it. Only thing I've found which is an issue is when streaming radio the sound quality isn't as rich as when listening on my DAB radio. I assume this is because DAB transmissions are of a higher quality then online radio? I wondered if anyone knew of a streaming source for radio that is Sonos compatible that is of high sound quality. The radio station I mainly want this for is BBC 6Music.

Connecting other speakers to Sonos Controller

I used to have 9 play:5 speakers connected to my network. However, earlier this week we had a network outage and the wifi had went down. Ever since the outage when it was resolved the controller did not show all the speakers. Now I blew out the old setup to try and reconfigure them again, but it can get one on and it won't let me add another.

Sonos playlists: cant delete. problems adding to them.

Hello. I can't add Sonos Playlists (error message says its full and to delete), but I also cant delete old sonos playlists (ask me to confirm delete playlist, I select yes, but nothing happens). Tried on all 3 types of controller (CR100, Android and Windows) tried resetting controller, to no effect. updated to latest version. no effect. Tried on Andorid App, same problem. I have about 36 playlists, some date back to 2008... additional Background: Hardware is 2 x ZP80 and 2 x ZP100. I have had Sonos since 2007, current use the original brick controller (software is v 7.0) plus the controller App for Android and controller App for Windows v. 7.0 ( using windows 10).

remote volume control

I'm looking for a way to remotely control Sonos volume without phone/tablet/controller. I would like a simple device that provides volume up/down/mute. Sometimes it's nice to walk up, press a button and mute a zone (or change volume, etc) without the need to pull out the phone, unlock, go to sonos app, select the zone, and then change the volume. Ideally, this remote volume control would be assigned to control one or more zones. I've had Sonos since the days of the original controller and the zp100s. Back then I wired volume controls in rooms to achieve what I'm describing above. Now I am looking for the flexibility of a wireless solution with better Sonos integration. If you are familiar with Philips Hue lighting devices, then what I am looking for would be something similar to the Hue dimmer device which allows you to easily control one or more lights without using the Hue app.

No playlists have been added to your Sonos playlists yet.

When I try and add tracks to a playlist I get the following message: No playlists have been added to your Sonos playlists yet. The playlists do show up momentarily but are then replaced by the error message - it is really quite annoying and hope that it can be resolved quickly. Many thanks

How to completely uninstall sonos controller for mac

I want to completely remove the sonos controller and undo all changes made on installation and attempted music library access. I deleted the app and one folder that was just sonos files, but when I search for recent files, I find sonos made changes to more than a dozen system files. Is there an uninstall program? If not, how do I undo the changes the sonos program made to my computer?

Password protection

Is there gonna be any password protection for the Sonos?? I'd love to know. Theres nothing more I love then getting a heart attack in the middle of the night by someone playing metal on max volume on the sonos in my bedroom. This is why I don't recommend the Sonos speakers.

Music Library keeps disappearing

Hello, I am running Controller for Mac version 7.0. Every since I updated to it, when I try to browse my music library it shows there us "No Selections are available" I have deleted my folder in preferences where iTunes stores my music and added it again a few times. It will add all the music and will show up in the music library, but then it will all drop off by the time I go to use the system again. Any ideaS? Thanks
