Controllers and Music services

My Bandcamp subscription to Peter Gabriel just dropped two more tracks onto the “Lunatics in the Big Room” bootleg he issued us. I can get the album up in the web player, but there is no way to play an individual track - all I can do is play the whole album and then skip the tracks I have already heard. What am I missing? The tracks look clickable, but clicking them does nothing, and the dot-menu is greyed out.  

My Sonos system is now 10 years old and i purchased a NAS drive to store my music collection on and to use with my Sonos system. I am now having problems accessing my NAS drive using my laptop running windows 11 which i have resolved by changing the SMB settings but it creates potential security issues. Also my NAS drive will not last forever and this is an example of it becoming unsupported and obsolete. So i either need to buy a new NAS drive or move all my music and files over to Cloud storage subscription such as my Google drive or MS365. I have considered using Spotify but it is too much each month for the amont i would use it plus i have already purchased a lifetime of music and have it stored on my NAS drive. My questions are;Do Cloud storage subscriptions work well with Sonos or do you experience drop outs and failures? What new NAS drives would the community recommend? Does anybody use Plex media server as this was recommended by Sonos support?

The new app seems to no longer have an associated widget for home screen. This is a significant drop in functionality that is now missing. Anyone else calling for return of the widget?  Not to mention loss of some content services that I previously enjoyed 

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).

The following services worked on previous Sonos app are not showing their multiple channel choices on web app. As of 05-08-24 international services 80s80s (Real 80s Radio) & 90s90s Radio are not showing the variety of sub-channels they each offer regularly, as they do on mobile app (at least previous to update).80s80sRadio (Real 80s Radio) https://play.sonos.com/en-us/browse/services/82183home page https://www.80s80s.de/90s90sRadio  https://play.sonos.com/en-us/browse/services/130823home page https://www.90s90s.de/I am aware that you are providing their home page for one to listen on computer or device via browser but that would defeat the point of using Sonos (for sound quality in comparison to device). Should we expect these to work on new web interface as it did (at least) on previous version for iOS, ipadOS, macOS?  Please indicate status update.PS both services by German provider have worked outside Germany e.g. in US and UK, through previous app (Sonos S2).  For reference:80

Why has Sonos withdrawn support for 3rd party (e.g. Brennan) Music Libraries and pushed us onto web based services. I have 400+ albums and and have no desire to use organisations lie Amazon or Spotify. I cannot be alone with this situation. 

I know that this has been discussed on other threads, and I know that Sonos’ position is that the controller app does not support hardware volume control on iOS. And as a recent convert from Android to iPhone I was disappointed to find that I had to unlock my phone and go to the app every time I want to control the volume. However, on a recent trip to visit my brother, I was complaining about this, and he says, “it works fine for me.” Lo and behold, I tried it on my phone and was able to control the volume on his S1 system. When I contacted Sonos about this, there only answe was “we don’t support hardware controls on iOS.” Hmmmmm.

I cannot get to my music library using the new Sonos app (on iPhone)

Where is the sleep timer on the new app. I use it regularly.

I know that the “associated product” is the first speaker that responds when starting a controller.  I’m simply expressing some frustration at how rudimentary that process is and how annoying it can be when you have a lot of Sonos products that you’ve accumulated for about a decade.  I have a mix of about a dozen speakers, with my oldest being ten year old Play:1s and my newest being an Arc. I notice that my Sonos controllers (both desktop and Android) are much, much more responsive when the associated product is the Arc or the newer Five. However, my controllers seem to have a knack for finding one of the older Play:1s.  The phone and desktop controllers consistently find the oldest speakers in my system when starting up and they’ll be sluggish and the queue is harder to manage.  When the associated product is one of the speakers I’ve added within the last couple years, the controller is much more responsive.  It’s a stark contrast.Like I said, I know how the associated product select

How can I show recently added songs in a Spotify playlist that I created within the Sonos app? 

I’m trying to delete a duplicate account so I can change the email on my existing account. Can you do that?

As a custom integrator I feel very strongly that Sonos should have an app on the Apple TV device. I understand that Sonos wants to be able to manage every aspect of their ecosystem but since 99% of my installs has an Apple TV, I think Sonos should offer a paid app to stream directly from the Apple TV. Some clients don’t want a universal remote and just want to use the Apple TV remote, and some control systems don’t work well with Sonos (I’m looking at you Control4). So to me it looks like a niche Sonos can profit from. Make it less than $50 per Apple TV device and I guarantee I can sell that as a line item in every bid. Make it possible for me to purchase licenses and install them in-app and we’ll be good to go. Maybe it’s too much to ask for or perhaps Sonos’ licensing deals with streaming services aren’t able to extend to a third-party device, but I’d be very happy to see this developed one day.

Scenario: I work in an agency where Sonos speakers are used in 3 areas. There are 4 Sonos One speakers in one area. 4 Sonos One speakers in another and 3 downstairs. We’ve even got a Sonos Five somewhere. These speakers are all on the same WiFi network but are grouped together in their respective areas, with individual speaker names and each area controlled independently of each other via 3x separate iPads.Problem: When listening to a Spotify playlist in one area, the music might change to one of the other areas choice and the volume spike to MAX. Even though no one has touched either iPad or speaker. We try to turn the music off or down and it just jumps straight back again. We’ve tried setting volume limits to ‘ON’ and at 40% on each speaker but although that seems at first to work, soon defaults to ‘OFF’ and back to maximum volume. We try tapping ‘pause’ on the top of a speaker but it starts again almost instantly. This happens randomly, and things can be fine for a few days but the

Title says it all:Re the recent update:  Will this brick any of my equipment?

So lots of articles about new application but not available yet?so when will it be? 😊

I might be missing something, but I thought a key selling point of Sonos Radio HD was the lack of advertising. I detest adverts interrupting music and I’m usually happy to pay to avoid them. I’m currently listing to Rock Road Trip, offered specifically for Sonos, and I am hearing adverts - adverts for Sonos Radio HD! The irony is not lost on me.Is there an issue with how this works, or is this to be expected? If the latter then I’ll be unsubscribing. Thanks Jim 

Any idea if the S2 app will receive an update any time soon? Looks a bit dull and stuffed right now

Having recently obtained an Apple Watch, I found it surprising that there was no official Sonos control application tailored for this device. Considering SONOS's emphasis on connectivity via Wi-Fi, the absence of such an app seemed unexpected. Personally, I prefer relying on official apps rather than third-party solutions. I eagerly await your feedback on this matter.

Hi everybody,I'm new to Sonos systems and I'm planning to buy 2 Sonos Amps for my store. I want each Amp to play different music (each area will play a different type of music) and control both via PC App (so that someone else can control it for me when I'm not there).How can I set up and control both as mentioned above? Please help, I really appreciate everyone's advice.

I have a family account.  The primary family account is logged into the sonos.  Account 1.When any of the other family accounts (account 2) start to play music on their own device the sonos cuts out.Originally I thought it was because both family accounts were added to the sonos, but I've now ensured the sonos only has 1 and the other account is on a device. Surely it's possible to use sonos with a family account without everyone else with family accounts being blocked? 

I am fairly new to multi channel music but enjoying my use of the Sonos Arc and Era 300.As I read other forums I note that some people state that their equipment can tell them how the music is being delivered. For instance 7.1.2, 5,1.0 etc There may be more info as well like modulation etc. It would be nice if I could see this info so I can learn more about what I am listening to Is there a way to obtain this info?I have looked around the Sonos app but not found anything TIA Steve

I am importing my music library from an external hard drive. For some reason, it maxes out and I get a message to clear or delete playlists. I then realized that the system is creating an automatic imported playlist on SOME of my imported library - but not all. I think SONOS is reading the playlist tunes and double counting the songs and then it creates the limit of items i can add. One - why is this happening. I called and spoke to a SONOS rep and was given some crap about iTunes. This is not an iTunes issue. iTunes isn’t even loaded on my laptop and this is music i downloaded or burned over the years. two - can i create more than one library to see if this can be avoided? I have most of my music transferred but it caps out for what I believe is this imported playlist issue  

Subject kinda sums it up. I have beam gen2 + sub mini and 2 era 100’s for surround. I am loving it. I was just curious if there is a quality difference playing spotify via my apple tv spotify app or changing from tv to music on my sonos app and listen spotify via sonos app? Thanks
