Sonos App connectivity

We have 3 different phones with the S2 app loaded. Quite often the Sonos is running but one of us cannot connect despite good connection to the WiFi on all devices.  At the moment my Sonos system is playing yet I cannot connect with the app.

Awful S2 update

can library songs play in a loop in the new app? selecting one song at a time is a deal breaker.

The recent up has left the library all but unusable. Anyone know how to make songs continue to play one after another after the update?

How to play local music directories

You say that the ability to play locally stored  music will be restored in July.  It is 21st July now. How long do we have to wait.Why was the new app released before this really important functionality had been implemented.

The Amazon Music (Integrated) Interface is ???

Just me or is the Amazon Music interface within the app a suboptimal experience? I primarily use playlists (that I curated). I have to tap at least twice to get to anything I created via “view more” then playlists. Spotify list what is relevant to me front and center when I open the app and I can get there with 1 tap.In Amazon it’s “content for you” but none of that is relevant until I at least click into playlists then recently played. It’s at least three taps to open a playlist and the first two taps take a sec to load.

Sonos Radio HD free trial - not yet under my subscriptions

I wanted to test out Sonos Radio HD on my new Amp which is hooked into whole house audio. I was finding Apple Music sounded great but the standard Sonos Radio wasn't doing it for me.Anyway so I entered my CC details to activate a free trial for the subscription service. I see it in my Sonos profile under orders but not yet under subscriptions.I'm not sure how to tell on the Sonos app whether or not anything has changed. Does the Sonos Radio thumbnail start to say HD? All that being said, I'm not sure the trial has been activated. Which is frankly pathetic for a transaction that can happen seamlessly online.I've tried reauthorizing Sonos Radio on the app several times to no apparent avail. I signed up for the Free Trial about 5 hours ago fwiw.

Android Galaxy S22 Sonos volume controls not working/displayed

Hello, Just purchased a Sonos Move 2, which i enjoy very much, Was expecting to have Notifications-Style Audio Controls - just like in other music apps ( tidal, spotify, youtube music ), yet they seem to miss in the Sonos app, Noticed from the current discussions that other users might experience the same thing, Hopefully this will get solved in the next patches, doing my job to report it, In order to resolve this, i’ve tried :reseting app from Sonos Uninstall and reinstall Clear cache and data and then restart sonos restart phone have allowed Sonos notifications in Android app config( multiple times in different combinations ) Maybe it’s related, i’ve tried following this guide, but that option does not show up https://support.sonos.com/en/article/control-sonos-volume-with-a-mobile-device-s-hardware-buttons  Have attached screenshots with :the issue with Sonos Sonos is actually running Youtube Music correctly displaying much appreciated audio controlsMissing lock screen buttons ( mayb

PodcastOne App (selection)?

In reviewing ‘Music Services’, I didn’t see ‘PodcastOne’ which is a VERY popular podcast site (app). Is this something I missed OR can SONOS add ‘support’ for it?

Sonos App

Basic functionality is missing from the new app.  I cant even see what volume number speakers are on unless i click into the group.  Syncing all grouped speakers to the same volume feature would be super useful.  Doesn't seem like Im the only one who isnt a fan of the new app.

Using Sonos with Spotify

I am new to Spotify but not to Sonos. When setting up Spotify I selected a bunch of artists as artists I liked.  On the Spotify web player I can bring up a list of all of my favorite artists to play, review discography, etc. That is all under ‘Your Library’. On Sonos (both on the Sonos 2 app and the android app), I can’t find the list of artists anywhere, and under ‘Your Library” it says No Selections Are Available. How can I find the music? (For what it’s worth I can use voice controls on my Sonos Move to play through Spotify).

Feature request - show how many tracks were added to queue in the message

Hi,Feature request: show the number of tracks added to the queue in the pop-up message like in the older 16.1 Sonos app.  The old 16.1 app displays how many tracks were added to the queue when using these functions:Add to End of QueuePlay Next The pop-up message shows e.g. “142 tracks added to the Queue” The newer app displays just “Added to queue.” It was helpful to get an indication that how many tracks were added without having to access the queue to check.

Indexing Albums on Spotify

Since the update accessing my albums under Spotify always times out, ie. I get the „something went wrong“ notification. Prior to the update this was working fine. Haven’t seen this specific problem with the update.
