I can only imagine that integration with the best voice command solution could only help sales of the world's best wireless home speaker system.

As I have a phone based on Android, I'm wondering about it would be an option just to invite a friend with an Iphone to adjust an Sonos Play 5 with Trueplay

Hi, I applaud sonos for enabling the URL scheme to allow the an app (such a an home automation app) to launch the sonos app, but this is only have the job. Can we now also have a "return to originating app" button added to the sonos controller. Its possible at least in IOS as CasaTunes has this included in their controller. here's a link describing this with Roomie Remote and casaTunes http://www.casatunes.com/multi-room-audio/index.php/product-tour/roomie/ quote "Simply add a Roomie Activity for listening to your CasaTunes music, add a Roomie Command of type URL, and configure the URL to launch the CasaTunes App when pressed. When launched, the CasaTunes App will display a back button with an optional custom label you supply, which when pressed will return control back to your Roomie Remote App. " here's a link describing the back

My Android controller informs me that there's a beta update available, but when I try to install it I get a message saying I should follow the instructions in an e-mail. I have received no e-mail, so cannot proceed. And before you ask, yes, I've checked my spam folder! There's a similar thread here, but the links given are for a previous version.

Has anybody else lost the option to alter the bass and treble on their systems ? Please help Al

How to view and/or change my sonos password to update system

I have downloaded the app on to my android phone, it's found the sonos system but never connects just goes back to the sonos icon?

I have used other music libraries and got used to sorting functions I cannot find in Sonos. Firstly it is not logical to sort the albums based on their title. It is more logical to sort based on album artist first and then title. Secondly I would also like to sort on latest added albums first. Usually you listen to the most recently added albums most. Secondly you know you have added new albums that you want to explore but you do not keep in your head which 20 records you have added most recently. So I would like to have these two sorting’s available at the same time not only one or the other. Are these sorting functions available and how do I set them up? If not when can I expect them?

I eagerly downloaded the new beta version 7 onto my iPhone this morning. But see no difference in how it plays Spotify. The settings 'About my Sonos System' says I am still on v6.4.8 which suggests the update has not worked. It went through the update and reconfiguration process on the iphone. I used the url in the email (to be used in cases where update fails) to download the dmg file to my phone but then it asks where I want to open it - Notes, Dropbox, iCloud with no option to open it on the phone. Can anyone please help me. Thanks in anticipation

is there a possibility to fade in / fade out, if you play a song in the play list & select to play the next song to play ?

Hi, I can see alot of posts about party mode but I can´t find instructions on where to find it? I got a Mark all under groups and this will break current groups and make one big group to play same music on all, is this is?

Anybody finding the latest iOS app is draining their iPhone battery? When I leave my house (and wifi network), the app is continuing to do something in the background. So, it is typically drawing 25% or more of my battery life over 24 hours. Lots of 'background activity.' This is a new issue -- within the last weeks. I have to remember to close -- not just put in the background -- the app when I leave my wifi network.

Add a color screen, a large button, and a battery backup to the Play:3. The color screen can be used to display the time using a number of customizable clock faces, as well as the song artwork when playing music. The button can be customized to act as any number of functions, such as starting a preset channel, snoozing or stopping the alarm. The battery backup guarantees the alarm will still go off in case of a power failure. The only reason I haven't yet replaced my current alarm clocks with a Play:3 is this; I don't want to have two boxes on my nightstand.

Trying to find where to download the Sonos mac desktop app, as it does not appear on the mac app store. Thanks.

Hi there I have a smart TV connected to a set of Sonos Play1's & 3 via a Connect (and the sound experience is really great). But my experience could get another boost if it would be possible to use my TV remote control to control the volume settings instead of using the Sonos App. The same install settings as the Playbar... Is this possible or will this be made possible by Sonos? From my point of view this really would enhance the possible use cases of the Sonos products... And no, a Playbar is not an option for me :) Looking

So what gives? Why can't I add my iTunes library to the Sonos Controller 6.4. The menu "Manage" is all greyed out. Is this yet another limitation to this Play One speaker I have? I currently cannot update the system due to some older software I still must run. Is there anyway around this limitation? Both Sharing and Firewall settings are set as recommended by Sonos. Mac 10.7.5 Itunes V12.2 Sonos 6.4

I have just tried to leave the beta program as I would prefer to use all the controller functions on my iPhone and iPad including EQ settings, Trueplay setup and other points. However, it did not work and I received a message saying Error code 9: and then all the room names.

The title says it all! ASAP. Everyone I know is using Alexa (Amazon Echo or a device that uses that). QVC just sold 108,000 units of the Amazon Echo. But no Sonos integration or even an IFTTT to use my speakers with Alexa. Please.

Everyone who uses an alarm, would rather like to be waked up by a progressive increasing (and decreasing) volume and not directly to the settled volume level. Shouldn't be that a normal setting nowadays? If every one agrees, please add that feature asap.

When I use Pandora (not Pandora One) I can select Shuffle Play and choose which of the many stations on my list I want to be included in that Shuffle. How is this feature enabled when using Pandora on Sonos. Does the Quickmix allow you to select a limited number of stations or does it just toggle between all of your stations.

Since sonos has access to microphone on ios devices. It would be a great idea to add a feature where i can record a message on the app and send it to a dedicated room. Sometimes when im in the kitchen cooking and i want to let my kids to come and eat, I would like to announce it through the play 1 that is in their the room rather than shout it out. :8

Ever since upgrading to the new controller, my iMac no longer stays awake while using my Sonos. I have my music library stored on my iMac and have it set to sleep after only a few minutes. In all previous versions on the controller, as long as I had music playing in Sonos, my iMac would stay awake so the the connection could stay alive and the music would keep playing song after song until i paused it or the end of the queue was reached, at which point the iMac would sleep after a few minutes of inactivity per the energy saver settings. However, since upgrading to the newest controller (5.4), this is no longer the case. It now sleeps even if music is playing if i am not also using the iMac for computing. As a result, Sonos loses the connection to my music library and is unable to play the next track in my queue. Is there a fix for this issue? I know I can set my energy settings so my iMac never sleeps, thus fixing the connection loss issue. However, I do not want to do this because I

How do change living room 2 to kitchen? Also, how do I find the equipment associated with a room?

A Sonos user would like the ability to add multiple individual tracks to a playlist.
