Controllers and Music services

I know about Spotify, Amazon and Pandora, are there any others that support ratings in the Sonos app?

I’m having all sorts of connectivity and grouping issues on large varied Sonos system ONLY with Apple Music.   Other music services work fine.  What’s up?  Looks like Sonos not purging previously played Apple Music so occasionally receive error, “system in use elsewhere”.  Usually it just plays Apple Music on certain, but not all, grouped speakers.

Daar Sonos user, Please try to explain, in simple manner, how to use Sonos S1 system and Sonos S2 system, at the same time, for different speakers, in one house Thanks,  Bertus

A few times our internet has gone down. We use sonosnet between five speakers - one wired via Ethernet and the other speakers daisy chained.  is there a way to setup a backup internet with a hotspot through my cell phone?  I’d need to easily toggle between the hotspot and our Ethernet using sonosnet (when the internet starts working again).   my preference is the Ethernet but the hotspot usage would be a backup. 

The Flic Twist can now be pre-ordered!It supports Sonos control via a hub and can control volume via a rotating dial and a push button for play/pause so should make a nice little controller. 12 additional controls can be added by pushing and twisting the unit so I guess you could add skip/forward/etc there.https://www.t3.com/news/you-can-now-preorder-the-flic-twist-smart-home-button-and-its-on-saleAvailable here, the homepage has links to some bundles with the hubhttps://flic.io/  

Hi all - I have a number of Sonos speakers  ; era 100, era 300  and move 2 .   The era 300 are in pairs and also singularly .  I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max .  in all the settings for all the speakers  , I’m finding the quick trueplay option to sound  “cleaner” in lots of ways . The most obvious thing seems to be the treble response which is more muted when using the detailed trueplay option .  Clearly one possibility is that the iPhone isn’t doing the job properly .. but that the only possibility ?  Thanks 👍🏻

Hello,Since 16.5 update we can no more control the volume or skip using the iPhone hardware button or the Lock Screen buttons.I’m aware that it’s an Apple limitation. Why Sonos do not propose some control center button for basic features (volume +/-, skip, pause/play).It would be very effective for user experience.  

I’m used to using streaming music to bluetooth speakers. You go out of range and the music stops - I get it.Today I was using the Sonos App to stream tunes to my pair of Sonos One’s. I had to go out and I figured that the music would stop and the speakers would go into standby as I would be out of range. But no, I came back home and the speakers were still playing music… huh?Explain to me like I’m 5 please.Thanks!

Pourquoi on ne sais plus écouter la musique qui se trouve sur son GSM Android  ???

The Sonos app suddenly not working with the iOS lock screen control and volume button anymore, suspect it happen after the Sonos iOS app updates. So far I had tried:Restart the iPhone and make sure the iOS and Sonos App having latest version Reset Sonos app Reset + uninstall + reinstall app Off and on Sonos ERA300 and do the above Research all possible solutions from Google but nothing helps yet :( All of this not working, my app version is 15.6 build 74043110 with iPhone 14 Pro iOS 16.6. Is anyone facing the same issue or this is a known software bug?

So I've got a Synology NAS and a couple of Sonos speakers. Some day I got the stupid (!) idea to switch SMBv1 off and soon I found out that my Sonos stuff was unable to find my local music library. Of course I agree that Sonos should move to v2 or v3, but since there is no sign they will, even after the whole S2 operation, it seems we will have to solve this ourselves. I’ve seen the Raspberry pi solution here on the forum, but I didn’t want separate devices and I thought it should be possible to do the same with docker on the NAS itself. If you are not familiar with Docker yet: it is like running an extra machine (called “container”) on your NAS, a little bit like virtual machines, but easier and more lightweight. The container runs isolated on your NAS, it only gets the access to your NAS you grant it specifically. Docker is a standard package on Synology. It also has a nice “registry”: an app store where everyone can share their containers. So the idea is: run a container with SMB (S

Hi all I tried to connect my Deezer account to my sonos account (through the app)the app is asking whether  I have an account : Yesthen there is an error message saying there is an error with the authorization of my account - check your internet connectionhope one of you as the solutionmany thanksJulien  

I’m trying to automate Spotify playing music on my Sonos speakers when I scan a NFC tag.I thought I could use Tasker to automate the necessary API calls...However, Sonos only supports the OAuth flow “Authorization code”, which makes it impossible to automate the task, since I have to show a webpage to the user for that to work.Is it possible to authenticate in any non-interactive way (Client credentials) or can I automate the Sonos app somehow? (e.g. Android intent?)

Hi, I use Tidal in iOS and want to stream it to my Sonos gear by using the “Tidal Connect” protocol.I know I can stream Tidal to my Sonos Port by using Airplay or Sonos Connect. I know I can use the Sonos app to select Tidal as a music service. My question is about the streaming protocal “Tidal Connect” (https://tidal.com/connect), already added by many high-level streamign boxes.“Tidal Connect” shows in Tidal app like this: “Sonos Connect” shows un Tidal app like this: Are there plans by Sonos to add support for “Tidal Connect” streaming protocol on their products? “Tidal Connect” opens the box to stream high quality audio, and all main competitors of Sonos have added it since long time.Thanks, Toni

Hi,I have an old speaker still with the S1 app and also newer speakers with the S2 app.I can sign into the Sonos Account page and the S2 app with my email and password combination but the S1 app will not accept that same login.Not sure why this would be if it works on the website and the S2 app. Appreciate your help.

Seems this one takes minimum two tries to cycle the second update per first complaints. I see no immediate UI changes. Maybe this fixed the Trueplay debacle from 15.8?

How does Sonos plan to solve the issue of accessing lock screen controls and device hardware button on iOS? Removing that functionality with release 15.6 on July 25, 2023 is a significant impact on the user experience. Our phones are the primary way we control the product so is there a solution other than having to unlock the phone every time we want to control the volume, change a track or turn the system off? Please clarify your plans or provide alternate solutions. Note: I do not use voice controls with my products, so that is not an alternative. Thanks. 

Bonjour,savez-vous pourquoi il n’est plus possible de piloter le volume sonore à partir des boutons physiques d’un IPhone 13.cela était opérationnel avec mon IPhone 8, je ne saurais dire si cendrillon le modèle d’IPhone ou alors la version de Sonos …merci de votre retour 

My internet connection is with 3 on a Zyxel router/modem connected in passthrough mode to an Edgerouter X. If the connection is over the 4g phone network the Sonos app connects to BBC sounds on the first try. If the modem is connected to the 5g phone network the Sonos app can take up to 10 attempts to connect to BBC Sounds. Similar problems but less often with Apple Music. Has anyone else experienced this? I should say that the internet connection is 60mbps on 4g and 300 on 5g with pings in the 30ms range.I have been unable to explain this to Sonos support as they get endlessly distracted by confusing 5g network connection with 5Ghz wifi.

Does the 3/28 “Hi Res” and Apple Music Classical update mean that we’ll also be able to stream regular lossless (CD quality audio - 16-bit/44.1 kHz) through the Apple Music service via the Sonos iPhone app and Mac app?

The service from YouSee Musik suddenly stopped for SONOS. I have tried to remove the YouSee Musik service and wanted to connect I again but now it is no longer on the list of selectable services in SONOS. Anyone knows of changes between SONOS and YouSee?

The S2 app’s media progress indicator does NOT work the same consistently throughout the music sources?  For example, I can drag it in Spotify but NOT when listening to prerecorded shows in SiriusXM.  It’s easily my least favorite thing about Sonos.  For years, I’ve found myself relistening to parts of hours longs shows that I’ve already heard just to get to the parts I haven’t heard.  I just want to be able to drag the progress bar forward and backwards in these types of recordings.
