Controllers and Music services

When I click on an album in prime music, I can no longer see the tracks on the album.  Instead it immediately starts playing and it doesn’t stay on the album I click on.  It is as if I clicked on a band’s station and not the album.  Anyone having problems with this?

I have a Sonos mixed estate one and two every time there is a change upgrade or even a change to terms and conditions my Sonos one kit stops working requiring a lengthy and helpful call to their helpdesk it takes a long time to sort this out every time please can the tech team sort something out as soon as possible thank you? 

Why Amazon music it's not enable in Sonos for colombia if the service it's available in this country ?

I’m no doubt repeating the same question. Can anyone assist definitively - I have a S1 controlled system; a One, a One SL and a Connect:Amp (1st generation). I’ve just purchased 2 more One SL, but the S1 app tells me I need to use them only with S2 app (even though I have a One SL on the S1 ‘system’ already.  I’ve tried the downgrade with S2 (as Sonos suggests), but it won’t even find it, unless I completely set them up (on another wifi to avoid it messing up the S1 group), and as soon as they are set up, the downgrade option is greyed out.  Any definitive help out there? 

Bonjour,Je viens d'avoir un cadre enceinte, et je voulais savoir si je peux écouter des web radios avec ?

Is there a way to download a listing of my music library which identifies which resource (e.g., NAS drive, PC folder, etc) is associated with a song?

When I click on playlist (Sonos or Amazon) it doesn’t open that playlist it simply starts playing music on shuffle. There is no way of drilling down into any playlist and choosing a song any more. It also sometimes says ‘operation failed’ but plays the music anyway. I have tried removing my Amazon account, signing out, deleting the Sonos app and reinstalling and then updating the app. Nothing works. Any help?

On my iPad, using latest version of Sonos 14.18.1 controller, when I want to adjust the volume and touch the volume button, all grouped speakers diminished their output by 2-3 increments before I apply a change. This is a strange and weird behaviour never noticed before. Other’s get this same behaviour? 

How can you play and manage music with TV off?

Hi, I have just acquired a gen 1 beam for my tv. I have a pair of play 1s that I use as a stereo pair in another room.  I don't want or need surround with the beam 90% of the time, what is the simplest solution to enable a quick switch.  I am happy enough to just have them true played for one location then turn off the trueplay option in the other room but am not sure if this is wiped when changing from surround mode to stereo music?The system is on S1 as I have an old zp90 that I still use but would change to S2 if it offered some advantage. Thanks in advance.  John.

Sonos confirms that the 5.1 issue that came in 14.12 is still present in the 14.18 update. 

Is the windows controller able to handle both newer Sonos products like Ray , and integrate older legacy products like Play 5 together…. Seeing the controller is not S1 or S2 designated … I haven’t tried yet but will at some point when I bring a set of play 5s back from the cabin…

Wether it is a track on my local phone, or a Spotify playlist - if the track is over an hour in length (like a DJ set mix), the Sonos app grays these out and will not play them. However, if I open Spotify or Apple Music and stream it to the Sonos speakers, it works fine.My first thought is some sort of DRM protection or something else that’s blocking based on length, but not sure. Anyone else encounter this issue?

Hello,I have a CD transport connected via the Sonos optical-to-HDM adapter to the HDMI input on my Sonos Amp. This works great (and allows me to control the Amp volume with the CD transport’s remote control) but it’s odd to see this input called ‘TV’ in the Sonos app. I understand this is the primary intended use case for the HDMI input but I can’t be the only person using the optical-to-HDMI connection to get a digital audio input into the Amp. Please Sonos: Could we have an option to rename the HDMI input to a custom name in the app, like you can with the RCA input?

As stated, I'm just trying to add the Google assistant to my Sonos arc. When I'm in the app, it has me sign in, then redirects to Google home. Cool. Google home wants me to sign in to Sonos. Ok? It redirects me to the website. I log in and the Sonos website says the Sonos app needs to update with 2 buttons. Go to Sonos App or I've fixed the problem. The first option does what it says, the Sonos app comes back up but it's currently trying to link with Google. I can try again or cancel. If I try again, please start reading this paragraph again. If I cancel, I can go check for updates. Checking both the devices individually and the system itself says there's no updates available and the versions appear to be the latest version. Back to where the Sonos website tells me I need to update, if I choose I've fixed the problem, it just refreshes the page. So. That's where I'm stuck.Everything else works fine, I can stream music via the app itself, I can use Bluetooth, I can use the HDMI with my

I have a digital-only preamp and would like to play vinyl through my system.If I connect my record player to  the analog in on my ZP80, I cannot get it to pass through to my digital preamp, even though the preamp can see a connection. Do I need to do any special config to get the ZP80 to input an analog  source via RCA and then output it to the toslink connector? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone updated yet any idea what it does?

There are a couple of old topics relating to this issue with several hundred views and no solution. I am sharing my fix for it. In the tags on the files, I replaced the space after the word The with a unicode non breaking space.  This has done the trick for me.  It makes the index show the band under T and all the search functions still work as you would expect.  Changing the tags in MP3Tag is fairly quick if you have the files set up by artist.  Just select the artist folder and change all the Artist and Album Artist tags to replace the regular space with the no-break space.  After the changes are made run the Update Music Library Now function.The unicode no-break space is created in notepad by holding down the alt key and typing 0160.  When the alt key is released the no-break space is created.

I can successfully connect to my Sonos system from my iPhone via Spotify but when I try to connect the phone’s current general audio output via AirPlay to Sonos, I get an AirPlay error “Unable to connect” with no other details. This has only started happening recently. I have tried all of the obvious things such as power cycling the speakers, modem, router and iPhone but this has not resolved the issue.

Yesterday, my daughter set up an alarm with a music playlist for the speaker in her room, to play on weekdays. But both this morning (a Saturday) and this evening the speaker started playing an alarm (the chimes).It’s a Saturday (not a day for which her alarm was set), and it played at 7am and 9.45pm, not the time for which her weekday alarm was set. This makes no sense. How did the alarm get there? I obviously deleted them immediatly. But we don’t want this issue to come back.

Why do my Amazon playlists no longer play?  I have Amazon Prime. They played fine until about a week ago. I’ve even tried just playing music I have actually purchased but can’t even do that. Can you please help me figure this out? I am fairly tech aware but not particularly tech savvy.  

Sonos One SL ,Spotify Premium user, Win 11 laptop has Sonos app. Have installed Spotify through Sonos site. When I open Sonos on PC and select Spotify, it sees only Playlists, not songs or podcasts. I can play those through Android mobile. Why not from laptop? 

When trying to play Amazon prime music on my Sonos 1 the Sonos app does not work properly, songs repeat, when clicking on an album for example you cannot select songs now it just plays, it will start playing random songs i.e if you chose Slipknot station Spandau Ballet plays…help

Cannot control rooms, only master.  Looks like a new bug as this has always worked before.  FYI.

We are writing summer 2019 and still Sonos only supports SMB version 1 for the Music Library share. This is not acceptable. A file share running SMB1 is extremely vulnerable to all the variants of cryptolocker virus that exists today. File share servers (NAS, Windows, Apple OS) can only support one version of SMB - so you cannot from the same box have one file share (for Sonos) using SMB1 and the other file shares using SMB2 or SMB3. This way Sonos puts each and every file share at serious risc - just because they don’t update their file share protocol to comply with this century. And for the record - the “solution” through PLEX is not a solution. Unstable at best.
