Controllers and Music services

How about adding this option directly to the Sonus Menu?

Is there a teleconference app for Sonos? There are microphones in some Play speakers but not in the Play:1 which instead could use the linked iPhone or Android device microphone, with all sound coming from the Sonos speaker. Could be a whole new business model for Sonos. Is this a good idea? Let me know if you want to use my idea (invention).

I am adding a play 1 to my system and doing so under settings, add speaker, it then shows that controller needs to be update, select button for update controller, which brings me to the App Store for Sonos app (even though I am running the sonos app (ver 7) on my iPhone (10.1.1), I hit open and it appears to open my sonos app on my phone, then I try to go to settings and add speaker all over again and it goes thru the exact same process (a do loop), help?

Hi, Is there anyway to adjust the volume really low, I want to have my Play:1 on when I go to bed but I can't adjust down the volume low enough through my iPhone 6S Plus.

I see that Spotify now has the possibility to play directly from the app without the need to start the Sonos app. Are there any plans to make this possible in Tidal? If so, when? If not, guess I am switching to Spotify...

Hi, I just wanted to share this little info for others here. Our kids used to run to us parents all the time in order to choose the music or audio books for them in their room. So we figured out they needed their own Sonos controller. For obvious reasons, we didn't want to give them a full smartphone to do this. Here's what we did: - find an outdated Android phone without a SIM card - preferably one that is supported by Cyanogenmod or a similar alternative firmware - install the opengapps nano package (Cyanogenmod explains it in their wiki) to get Google Play - install the Sonos controller app via Google Play - enable immersive mode for the Sonos app in Cyanogenmod's settings - turn off the "double powerbutton tap starts camera" option in Cyanogenmod's settings - install Mobilock Kiosk Lockdown app via Google Play - in Mobilock, you can set the Sonos app to be started automatically - once running, remove any other app except Mobilock and Sonos from the app switcher We had a Nexus 4

I just finished purchasing and setting up my Sonos amps and bridge (well, my installer did it, actually) and I am trying to load the music from my ReadyNasNV+ into the Sonos desktop software. My NAS has approximately 90,000 FLAC files, all properly tagged and in redbook resolution. Sonos is very slow to load, and ultimately only a few of my folders showed up in the library. I received the following error message in the log: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 - 11:11 AM Eastern Time Not enough Sonos player memory to complete index of '//NAS-01-3A-DA/media/Music'. A partial index has been stored. After some further reading on this site I noted that there is apparently a limit of 40,000 songs. Sonos claims it can handle large music libraries, so why is the limit only 40,000? Granted, most people don't have 1.6 TB of FLAC files, but I had absolutely no problem streaming all of them using my old Squeezebox system. I am incredibly disappointed and frustrated with Sonos. Why on earth is there

When I'm not using the Sonos, i.e. it is not playing music from any source, the Sonos will start playing the sound from the computer, Mac Mini, whenever I start playing a YouTube video or start a song in iTunes. When this happens I have not done anything to start up Sonos! This seems to happen anytime there is a period of silence and then the sound starts. It is a problem as there are times that I just want the sound local to the computer and not go over Sonos.

sorry

Just bought an additional Gen2 Play 5 and created a stereo pair. Went to tune the speakers and the app stated that it wasn't compatible. I'm on an iPhone 6S+ running iOS 10 Beta 7 since I actively develop apps for apple. The only anomaly I can see is the beta software so I just wanted confirm that the trueplay feature doesn't work with iOS 10.

Any word on if/when the iPhone 7 plus will be able to be used to set up TruePlay? I assume the same is the case for the iPhone 7.... Thanks!

Hi, i have upgraded to iPhone 7 recently. Understand that i cannot perform True Tuning due to iPhone7/IOS 10 is currently not supported yet. May i know if there is a software update coming soon? Thanks.

A SONOS user expressed his desire in a feature where the tracks are being cleared from the queue after they have been played. Let us know if you would like to see this as well.

For those who would like to stream directly from their native streaming service (Apple music, spotify) iOS app to Sonos, check out Airsonos (just google and you will find instructions how to install this free software on your computer). This will allow you to use the superior native apps discovery and playlist functionality and effectively bypass the feature lacking sonos app interface. One day I would love to see this functionality be integrated into the sonos speaker software... Works like a treat, but note that you must have your computer running in the background so the airsonos software can perform the bridging between your iPad and the sonos speakers (via AirPlay iPad functionality)

Does anyone when an update will be released for the iPad Pro?

How do I connect two different phones

The iPhone app needs some way to display entire track names and album names without waiting, perhaps in the "track details" screen. I understand the need for fixed-height items in the main track list, but variable height textboxes in the "track details" and "Album details" screens would be very useful. This is frustrating when browsing similarly named tracks in Spotify, especially with classical music.

How to setup Sonos so others with controllers can't access your system

Anyone know of a way to remove Sonos speakers from Spotify connect? I added them today and ever since there has been some funky stuff going on. I would like to undo that mistake but of course there seems to be no straight forward way to do it. Thanks.

Hi, I'm considering to buy a Sonos speakers, however, I didn't found out how does it play music. When I use the Sonos app in iPhone, what is the source of the music playing? Does the Sonos speaker play it directly from the internet or does it play via iPhone same as AirPlay? Do I need to have the app in iPhone running all the time or I just tap the play button and then I can close the app and the Sonos will still be playing the music/radio?

My Sonos system (Bridge & Play 3) has been working flawlessly for years up until about 2 months ago. Now when I try to use my system, my phone, laptop, tablet, and home computer suddenly can't find the system.  Rebooting the system does not fix this issue.  Instead I have to reboot the system, then re-attach my controller devices to the bridge.  The system will then work for a day or two and then this process repeats all over again.

When I navigate to a music service (apple music, plex, spotify, tunein, all of 'em!) I ge unable to browse music, there was a problem connecting to... I had been able to fix this previously by removing my firewall from the first in the list of resolvers but I'm getting same issue again now. Manually removing my IPv6 resolvers seems to fix the issue but they are last on my resolver list. Do you have an IPv6 issue Sonos or am I doing something daft?

Does adding a boost to an existing sonos setup automatically create the required network for the speakers? Thanks

A friend just set up Sonos at their home with 4 play ones. Should I not be able to play my music from my app when at their home?

Spotify Connect was just announced and I was surprised that I didn't see Sonos in the list of companies that would provide support. Many Spotify users have been asking for a long time to be able to use the Spotify app as the controller for selecting songs, as it provides a superior experience (you still can't even see the Top 5 songs in the Spotify view within the Sonos app, and it is difficult to look through an artist's collection to find a specific song unless you know which album it was in). Please support spotify connect. Additional details on Spotify Connect are here: http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/3/4688166/spotify-connect-launches-to-stream-music-to-compatible-speakers If you look at the post on theverge, even the first comment was one asking for Sonos support for the feature.
