Controllers and Music services

So many frustrating things since the Sonos app debacle.  While some aspects of the S2 app have slowly gotten better, on my iMac using the Sonos Desktop Controller I can call up and play Sonos playlists (all of which were created on my iMac), however they will not play using the S2 controller on my IOS or Android devices even though the playlist icon shows on the S2 controller.  It spins for a while and that’s it.  Note if I search the music library for songs within the playlists I can play the individual songs.  Do others have this same experience and what, if any, remedies exist for this problem.  Please note that I do not use any Sonos speakers.  My system is composed only of Ports, Sonos Connects, Amps and Connect Amps.  Thank you.

I recently switched from spotify to AM. Spotify worked well with the sonos speakers (two Sonos Ones, one Playbase combined with Sub 2 and two Play 1s). Now when I play a song on AM and airplay to the sonos speakers, it connects fine to the individual Sonos Ones, but when I connect to the Playbase/Sub/Play 1s combination, it stutters for about 4 seconds through the music and then settles down. It will also stutter if I change the song, re-start the song etc. Have tried the usual, restarting router, de-installing and re-installing the sonos app, AM app, removing and re-adding the playbase, removing AM from sonos and re-adding.

Well it has happened again.  Tunein will not work with sonos.  I have been having the problem for about a week now.  This happened about a year ago also.  Anytime I try to connect to any tune in station or podcast I get commercials on a loop. Deleting account, reathorizing does nothing.Same old sonos,  same old garbage !!

Why I cannot use the forward button with calm radio. I only have stop option available

Hi all, so I am dealing with an extremely frustrating issue involving connected services in the app.  One particular account (Audible) wasn’t working right (would only list items in my subscribed library but not play them) and so I figured I’d remove it and re-add but all the Sonos Android app does is give an error saying the account can’t be removed.  Nor can I add another instance of (more errors).  I tried the same on another phone.  I also tried the Windows app and it shows all my other connected services but not this one.  Trying to add it again in the Windows app also results in errors.  Why is Sonos being so stupid about this?  Tech support did not provide any solution and I’ve done all the useless restarts of routers, apps, etc.  Is there really no way to force remove a bad service connection from the list?

Trying to play single songs through the app but when I search for a song all I get is album and station suggestions. Maybe I’m missing something. 

Bonjour,  je possède un système sonos avec deux play 5, deux play 1 et un connect. Le tout étant de première génération. L'ensemble fonctionne en multiroom uniquement avec l'application Sonos 1 sans mise à jour depuis très longtemps. Est-il possible d'intégrer un ampli zoneplayer 120 à mon dispositif  ? Sachant que l'ajout d'un nouvel appareil est tributaire d'une mise à jour. Y a t'il une solution ? Comment dois-je procéder ? Merci beaucoup par avance pour vos réponses. 

When the new app was released, we were promised that all the missing features would return within a few months. But as we all know, it ended up taking much longer than that. In the middle of all the confusion, I asked Sonos directly if — and when — the volume button shortcut to the Equaliser would come back. I quickly got a reply saying it was just around the corner, and that it was now a priority since many users had contacted Sonos specifically about this missing shortcut. Well… it’s now been almost a year since I was told it was just around the corner. So I hope it’s okay for me to ask here: When can we realistically expect it to return?

After years of waiting, Spotify Lossless has finally been released!https://newsroom.spotify.com/2025-09-10/lossless-listening-arrives-on-spotify-premium-with-a-richer-more-detailed-listening-experience/“Lossless is available on mobile, desktop, and tablet, as well as on many devices that support Spotify Connect, including Sony, Bose, Samsung, Sennheiser, and more. Support for additional devices, including those from Sonos and Amazon, arrives next month.”

I have enabled lossless in my Spotify account on the desktop and my phone as well as installed the latest software update for Sonos from the S2 app. Does this mean lossless should be playing through the Play 3 left and right speakers I have in one room ( as well as the sub and playbar) and Play 1 left and right speakers in another ( as well as sub and playbar)? Spotify on the desktop connects to the speakers and does from my phone too via S2.  It may be my perception but the sound certainly seems to have improved and I am hearing the music in a way that appears so much clearly defined and crisp than before. If lossless is not supported with my set up then the improvement is a figment of my imagination. 

As a technician can I set up a Sonos amp using my Sonos app and profile or do I have to use the customers profile and app?hiw can I use my app to set up a customers system when the customer is not present?

I have a Sonos 2 system. Version 17.2. Build 9006717. 1X Beam with 2x Play 3. Recently tried to map sonos to iMAC  OS 12.7.6 music library for the first time and was unsuccessful. Sonos does not seem to recognize the music app file name which was:/MacintoshHD/Users/joestevens/Music/Recovered Music Library/iTunes MediaI changed this to: /MacintoshHD/Users/joestevens/Music/Music/MediaWhen I add the folder from NAS, Sonos setup window doesn't seem to recognize the name and the NEXT button is greyed out. There is a an option to “update music library now” in the MANAGE tab of the Sonos dashboard- but Im apprehensive about enabling that since there is little to no info as to what this means or the consequences. Ive confirmed the permissions are correct, File sharing and SMB are enabled and both are on the same WiFi network. I suspect this has something to do with the music file name?

Contemplating updating my old Connect to a Port in order to get Spotify Lossless. Will I be able to get lossless audio on Spotify directly from the Sonos app? I really don't want to have to use the Spotify app, which is what I have to do with the Wiim Ultra I'm using on another system.

Hi, is it possible to play my iTunes through my play5 Gen 1 speaker?

Saw this, TVONOS app for Amazon Fire Stick. Was wondering if anyone else has downloaded it and using it? Is it worth it on the fire stick? Thx

Apple Music recently released 6 live radio stations. Up until recently, I had no problem streaming them over Sonos. Something changed, and now when I try to play the stations, I get a “not encoded properly” error.Tried re-authorizing Apple Music, tried rebooting all devices, etc. Nothing works.Any hints?

The mandatory inclusion of Sonos Radio degrades the quality of the Sonos experience.  Please listen to your customers, do the right thing, and let them choose the option for themselves. 

Can someone help me? I have a system consisting of Sonos S1 speakers and the latest version of the app that I use on an iPhone. How do I add a family member so they can manage the same system independently? Thanks.

Good Afternoon,Has this problem been fixed yet? - as I am still getting multiple copies of albums, especially with compilation albums.Kind Regards,  

How can I stop Sonos Radio's unsolicited pinning of collections to my Home? It has happened on several occasions, separated by several weeks. I open the Controller app and find two or three collections promoting Sonos Radio content at the top of my Home screen. It’s really annoying because I have to scroll down to find my favourites. It’s also annoying because I didn’t ask for that and I’m not interested in it. (Another sad signal that Sonos hates its customers.) I have to Unpin them to get rid of them. Is there anyway I can stop them appearing in the first place.
