Controllers and Music services

I finally found a work around for playing music on my android phone on Sonos speakers.  I was dissatisfied with using the Sonos app because: 1) Sonos does not sort folders or artists alphabetically (making it extremely difficult to locate a particular artist among 600+); and 2) the Sonos equalizer is too simple (one knob for bass - one knob for treble). The solution is remarkably simple: install the  BubbleUPNP and cast your favorite android mp3 player app, podcast app, or other android audio stream.  I have seen numerous forum inquiries about this issue, but none of the responses have descibed this simple solution. I am so delighted that I can now play music from my phone to Sonos speakers with total ease. 

Playlists are no longer showing up on the My Sonos tab of the app. Yet I can add tracks to my playlists and they all show up in that dialogue. How do I get playlist back on the My sonos tab?

My system works fine, hardware and Sonos apps (everything is up to date), except this notice/message appears now and then very briefly when Sonos app/controller on my Windows 10 computer is started: "You need to set up at least one Sonos speaker to get the music started. Open the Sonos app on a mobile device to continue". Two buttons: "Get the mobile app" and "More options" It disappears very fast and the Sonos controller opens normally as usual and works fine. Is something wrong?

Is it chuffing possible to have a clear and clean answer from Sonos tech or managers to understand WHY it is not possible to control SONOS volume with Mac keyboard keys but you have to go through several more clicks to invoke the Sonos controller????? What is the heck with you Sonos guys… why don’t you make it possible like it was on older systems??? I have checked the forums and you have always found a sneaky way not to plainly answer.I think it is about time you put the money where your mouth is!!! I am utterly annoyed.

I downloaded above app to my IPad.  Went to Browse/clicked on YouTubeMusic.  Screen shows up says no selections are available.   How do I add a selection to you tube music part of the Sonos App? 

Is there any use in adjusting speaker distance after trueplay? To be able to adjust the speaker distance you have to turn trueplay off, then do the adjustments, for so turning the trueplay back on. But after this is done, the speaker distance is grayed out. So I wonder if doing it this way will effect the sound, or are you just back to your original truplay distance?

I notice recently when I  change the volume My screen  on my iPad or iPhone dim slightly for a few brief seconds. Is that normal or if I done something wrong. Thank you

My wife has the S1 app on her Ipad and Iphone and have the S1 app on my Android phone and also on my Windows laptop. The app only works on my Windows laptop, not on any of our other devices.We have gotten the REALLY annoying requests to upgrade to the S2 app when opening our S1 app. We have declined because we know the S2 app is not compatible with our speakers. What is happening now is the S1 app loads but then tells me all of my speakers are incompatible and wants me to update to the S1 app (which I am currently using), then a Sonos update screen pops up with the option to update, I select update and it looks like it is updating, then I get a Update Problem screen, and an option to try again which just puts me in an endless loop.Is this an app problem or is Sonos not supporting the older speakers any longer? Is my only option to download an unapproved controller app from Play Store?Also, I have tried rebooting the speakers and router. It didn’t work.

We have a large investment in our Sonos system, and use the S2 apps on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS (all current OS versions), With the exception of bug fixes and firmware updates, I haven’t seen a single user interface update since its release. Note that while we have an AppleTV (and 3 Apple Watches), we never use either to control Sonos, so I’m not looking for apps on those OSs - just updates to iOS would be sufficient though sync’ing the UI in MacOS and iOS would be very much appreciated.Given Sonos’s premium market positioning (and cost), I expect that at a minimum there would be updates and improvements to the UI, making it more current and better organized like other apps and systems. At least some functionality improvements should be included as well. The app is completely static from the user standpoint. Are there any plans or projects in the works to update the app’s UI and features? If so, can you provide details as to some of the possible changes as well as rough ti

All of a sudden my controller on my iPhone as well as my pc do not control my sonos system . I have unplugged  all 9 sonos products, rebooted so many times and it still is working intermittently if at all. It is getting frustrating. Do you have a solution?  

How to stream Amazon Music 360 Reality Audio on Sonos system? I am trying to do so via Amazon Music app but 360 option is not available.Does Sonos even support it?  

Am I the only new user who thinks that Sonos speakers will not work with Youtube is something I should have known about before I wasted my money on the damn thing?

I have the track showing from My Cloud but not sure how to shuffle tracks as I could with old NAS

Hi,I have a DLINK 320 NAS and 2 Sonos Play 1’s. I have my Music stored in a folder Volume_1\Media\Sonos followed by a Folder for each Artist. Its been like this for several years with almost no issues. About a month ago I noticed I’d lost all my Music on my Sonos with the exception of one Album. I looked on my NAS and all the media had been deleted, All my other stuff on my NAS had not changed. I copied the music back again from another drive and bizarrely the next day it had been deleted again.So I did the same thing again, the next day all my Music had been deleted from the NAS. The other stuff was still intact. Since then I’ve re-imaged my NAS and rebuilt it 3 or 4 times with a 3rd Party image which didn’t work very well with Sonos, I’ve gone back to the original DLINK image, reformatted my NAS and copied over the Music once again, and today the Music I added yesterday has been deleted again this morning. I’m loathed to buy another NAS as not 100% sure

Long standing podcast suddenly won't play. How do I fix it?

I’ll start by saying I really can’t stand watching or listening to broadcast ads. I don’t listen to commercial radio. I don’t watch commercial television. I happily buy albums through Bandcamp to support artists directly, and to discover new music I pay for a streaming service which is ad free. I also really love some of the Community Radio stations that operate in my home city and want to keep listening to them at home.   A few months ago my Sonos system has started playing ads when I first connect to one of the community radio stations it happens whether I connect via my Google Assistant, or manually select the stations  through the app. I’ve tried to bypass this by “adding radio stations” directly via the direct URL as is recommended in some other comments on the forum, but this doesn’t do anything to stop the ads. I’ve also added the stations through the Sonos Radio service, rather than the TuneIn service, but I still get the TuneIn ads. In the end I decided whilst

The Sonos app sucks. Either it can’t add songs to my queue or it can’t even Airplay my Spotify onto my Soundbar. Most useless products ever. Don’t do it.

Does anyone know the meaning of the blue dot?  New content maybe?  But if so how to ID?  Thanks. 

I have been a Sonos user for years.My music library has been on the same Synology NAS for all those years.Now, I can add that music library (via //10.0.1.55/music) no longer to my Macbook Pro.I can add it to my iPad and iPhone, though,What to do? 

Hi, does anyone know the streaming URL to add a radio called RADIO DeeJay (Italian) manually into SONOS? The Radio doesn’t work anymore in SONOS since last update and i want to try to add it manually with the URLthank you

I’ve got an old ZP80 that I use in the garage on its own S1 system.It works fine except today when I tried to add a new service I couldn’t log in. It said my password was wrong, which it wasn’t but I reset it anyway. And it still won’t let me log in.Logging in to my account elsewhere, including the S2 app, works fine.Can anyone shed any light on this please?

In you are using Home Assistant, I found this great HACS for Sonos. https://github.com/johanfrick/custom-sonos-cardIt allows easy grouping/ungrouping, ,individual and group volume control, quick my sonos or stations selector.  

Please, PLEASE sort the album search results by release date in Apple Music, like every other service, and like any sane feature would work. The current unorganized list of albums displayed for any particular artist is borderline unusable. You know this.I know this question has been asked before, but it’s been over SIX YEARS. I know it’s supposedly an Apple problem, but I just don’t buy it. Unless your engineering team is married to some REALLY obtuse implementation, this should be about 4 lines of code. If it’s NOT easy, please ask yourselves how sorting a list of results, a question you’d ask of any engineering intern in an interview, turned into an insurmountable issue that customers have had to beg for over a six year period.And if it’s really an Apple issue, tell us why, specifically, so we can go yell at them about it.But c’mon... Sort the stupid list already.

The last time someone asked why there are no release notes for S1 updates, the answer was that there was nothing new to report.The last available release notes are for version 11.2.6. My current system version is 11.3 (so clearly, there was either a change larger than those between compatibility 11.2.4 & 11.2.6--or the numbering system is used wrongly), and now there is a new update available (I do not know to which version, and I cannot find a way of checking).This might be seen as petty, but the issue is important: past updates have broken system compatibility without announcing it clearly to the user. Sonos have decided to remove many system management options from the desktop app (I find it very user-unfriendly, as it is easier for me to perform more complex tasks on my desktop than on my phone), and so I am reliant on my phone to manage my Sonos system. My phone’s android version is non-upgradeable 8.0, and there is no reason for me to change it: it works very w

I saw that this answer/suggestion has been closed but I think it’s time to realize that customers with thousands of dollars invested into a SONOS system would like to see the functionality of a MOVE system paired with the PLAY 5 Subwoofer once and for all. Yes, the MOVE is designed for playability around the house and in outdoor settings but there are those of us that might have need for the MOVE to be used with a PLAY 5 Subwoofer. SONOS, get to work on this!
