Controllers and Music services

Hi. I have been trying to get the tracks on my Amazon Music app and those that I can access via the Sonos app as I have too much 'clutter' on the Sonos version for example track duplicates. I have tried removing my Amazon account from within the Sonos app and reauthorizing it but no difference. For you to see what I mean I will post 2 screenshots one of the Amazon app (with just one track entry) and on the Sonos app with 6 track entries (one the Live! version which I never play!)Any ideas anyone?    

I’m using the Sonos app (14.6.1) on a Pixel 4a phone (Android 12), and on occasions when I go to the Search Tab and see my ‘Recent Searches’ the formatting seems to be messed up:  I’m not sure what triggers this, as it seems to happen fairly randomly but fairly regularly. If I close the app and reload it, the problem I think usually seems to sort itself out, but haven’t checked if this is consistently so. This is what I expect the screen to look like:  Does anybody else experience this, or know what is causing this?

How can I get the volume slider on the S2 app on an iPad to vibrate like it does on the iPhone ?

The latest app update makes my phone vibrate when I adjust the volume settings for our speakers.  Some people may like that feedback but I don't need it. How can I turn that feature off..?  Thanks!

Hi All,I recently upgraded my Connect to a Port so I could use S2. Everything upgraded fine and all my NAS settings ported over. However, since I started using S2, I have had occasional problems connecting to the NAS server. This rarely happened under S1, but is happening fairly often under S2. I have restarted the speakers, port, router and even deleted and re-added the NAS path and re-indexed the music library. Any ideas? Many thanks! -Steven

I recently upgraded to S2 at last and was disappointed to find that the S2 Controller for the Mac is still not remotely accessible.  There was a discussion about this on S1 years ago and I think that thread is Locke now.Most of the buttons aren’t labelled, so when you use it you just hear “button, button, button, button” as you move through items.  Then it seems impossible to give all the import bits focus.  I can’t navigate to the choose rooms button (although the dialog that appears does work with VO if I can somehow get lucky with the mouse), and neither the queue or browse panes seem to be usable at all.I’m really disappointed how little Sonos seem to regard the Mac app.  By way of contrast, the iPhone app is really great.  But if it worked, it would be much faster and more convenient for me to use the Mac in most cases. Is there any way of this ever getting any attention?  I feel that a lot of the issues are very likely to be trivial to fix. 

Neither I can’t play music from my library. i’ve got an Iphone thanks

I’ve been using Deezer in Sonos for sometime and it has the capability when you hear a song you really like to hit the “heart” button and instantly add to your favourites. I tried Apple Music and this feature was missing… also nowhere to be found in Amazon Unlimited, which doesn’t even allow you to add tracks to Amazon playlists (as far as I can see). What’s anyones experience in Tidal ? Or  Spotify? For me it’s an essential feature and for reasons I won’t go into I’m looking to switch streaming provider

Not sure this is the best place to post this……..but where do you post or submit Sonos feature requests?  I have been a long term Sonos user and have a few recommendations for features.   Please let me know if there is a better place to submit or post these…….where they are most likely to be voiced to Sonos representatives who may act if enough people suggest?  The first, is to suggest that the Tunein service allow sign-in so that you can use the Sonos App to listen to TuneIn Premium if you are paying for this anyhow.  I have seen requests for this going back at least 10 years, but Sonos does not seem to have ever added this.    I believe newer services similar to Sonos have added this, such as Bluesound, and see no obvious reason why this would not be relatively easy to implement.  I do think they should implement their own Sonos app for Apple watch I do think they should add a Sonos Controller app for Android TV so that Sony and ot

I’m hoping I’ve missed a really simple solution but I can’t find it.I’m loving listening to all my sources of music together on the Sonos app in my house, But when I leave the house and go walking with my headphones on. I’d like my phone to carry on playing the album/playlist/mixcloud show from where I left off.The Mixcloud app on Android for example doesn’t seem to carry over where I got to in a show on the Sonos app if then start listening directly on the app on my phone. Likewise albums / playlists.I have to use MediaMonkey Android on my phone separately to listen to the same playlist I was listening to on Sonos.I’d also like this functionality so I can switch from listening to Sonos speakers in the house to headphones at night.At the moment I’m living in a parrellel universe of Sonos Speakers and Headphones 

I'd like the ability to select a My Sonos playlist, and have the system remember my playing preference for the playlist in terms of shuffle, repeat, crossfade or none. Example scenario. The following 3 are added to My Sonos for ease of access via the app.1. An album by Counting Crows. I want it played in order as the artist desired. No crossfade.2. Classical Christmas from Spotify. I want this shuffled with crossfade.3. Sleeping white noise from my local music library. I want this single track repeated with crossfade. I'm quite sure this is currently not possible, so I'd ask Sonos to make it a feature. It could be something like "Playlist Options" after it's been added to My Sonos. Thoughts? Suggestions everyone? Thanks!

Morning all.  was hoping to get some help with an issue.  Every time I was to listen to something I need to re add the station on the app. I used to be able to just touch the play button and it would play the same station.  I’ve checked the app settings and the touch controls are set to on.  any help? 

Bit disappointed with the playlist choices on Sonos Radio HD, nothing further back than the 80s as far as I can find. Do you agree?

After years paying for Spotify, and having flirted with Apple Music for years as well, and abjuring Pandora, I’ve finally decided that YouTube Music does by far the best job of curating songs for me based on just a little bit of criteria. In short, YouTube Music is the coolest. And yet as has been well noted by other commenters, Sonos completely sharts the bed when it comes to software integration with YTM. Don’t know about others but I can get mine to do a sum total of zero functioning, as far as YTM is concerned. It honestly feels to me like there was some spat between programmers or companies that resulted in a what is essentially a big eff you from one to the other, or a detente perhaps, where someone pissed someone off or had a huge ideological difference of opinion, words were said and then  everyone walked away from the conference room table, and left to sit there what is basically a 1/8th developed integration option that does nothing but get people angry. How else can you e

Just purchased a 10.0 tablet anything I need to know before I switch app from my phone to my new tablet?

Hi Everyone! Been looking for months to find an answer and figured it’s time to ask the community. Here is my situation: I’ve got 2 older amps (connect:amp and a ZP100) that each run a pair of Klipsch 650-SM ROCK SPEAKERS (FYI- each rock speaker is true dual speakers). These run on the S1 app since the older amps don’t support S2. My entire house is S2 and I’ve come to a point that I either need to downgrade all my speakers in the house to S1 or figure out a way to bring my outdoor speakers into the S2 world. Would I be able to purchase 1 Port and use it for both older amps? While they’re currently set up in 2 outdoor zones, one zone would be fine. Or do I need to bite the bullet and purchase 2 new Sonos Amps? Any other ways to make it work without dropping $1k+? Thanks in advance! 

Hi, updated to 14.2 today and suddenly noticed that songs with special characters in the filename or title (have not investigated in depth yet) won't be played from the local library.I remember this problem from 13.1 and it was fixed in 13.3.Anyone else experiencing this?Really frustrating this happening again. EDIT: Seems to work now after a couple hours. Did some rescans before, so not sure what changed things. Will observe.

Had to start a new topic because the “best answer” fails to address the question and the topic has been closed for further comment. (Side note: how does a “best answer” literally start with “I do not understand what you are saying”?) Anyway, I’m trying to set alarms to play music in two rooms at a specific, recurring time.1. When creating an alarm, the Rooms menu allows individual rooms to be selected, and there is also an option to “Include Grouped Rooms”.2. I can toggle “Include Grouped Rooms” but nothing new appears.3. I then go to system settings, where “Groups” is greyed out, and it says “This feature is available on systems with three or more rooms.”4. I have two speakers, which are in separate rooms, and which I commonly group and un-group, depending on who is in each room, so leaving them grouped at all times is not a viable solution, and adding a manual routine to my evening (remembering to open the Sonos app to group my speakers before be

Hi,  how can I listen to radio in deezer instead of tunein where i got some awfull jingle and adverts not needed….  Many peolple ar uset with this, when will you solve the problem ? Pierre

Has anybody experienced problems with their desktop app after updating macOS to 12.3.1?when I open the app I get the spinning beachball of death and message that it’s searching for my sonos system. Every thing was fine until this update, and my iOS apps work fine on phone and iPad. My system has both wired and wireless components , but nothing shows up on the desktop app. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app but when I click on join existing system the veachball e turns and will spin to the end of time if I let it.

Other than the quality of sound and assortment of apps, what real services are provided for listeners? It’s a shame the list does not go on, and simply ends there. It’s a product that doesn’t allow use without Wi-Fi and doesn’t have an option for headphones. I’m proud to have persuaded fellow friend from indulging in the same misadventures I have when it comes to buying constrained speakers. Why have rules or limitations on sound?

How can I listen to Qboz in Sonos in Brazil?

Hi guys, I am a fan of both Sonos and Soundtrackyourbrand. One of the cool features in SYB is the smooth scheduling option. any chance to see this working when playing through the Somos app? Thanks Toller

Yandex Music got disabled in the Sonos app and turned my Sonos devices into bricks. No announcements, nothing...just a message that the service is no longer available.I understand that you want to support Ukraine. I get it and there are lots of better ways to do it,  but that has nothing to do with music. Yandex wasn’t even sanctioned by EU nor US.I loved sound of Sonos from the first time i heard it and i even purchased the Beam without checking that it can’t work over wi-fi/bluetooth.
