Controllers and Music services

It's easy to add a Bluetooth playback device to Logitechs Media Server.  Several independent apps provide playback which can be routed to Bluetooth headsets and or speakers.  Adds another facility for using LMS across devices.Sonos insistence on a closed system might have a certain commercial logic but does inhibit innovation. 

We really need a way to control a Sonos outside the home wifi. I went into holidays and I forgot to remove the alarm I had every day. My dad came to my house for one week and has to wake up everyday to turn Sonos off! I don’t understand that basic features like removing alarms cannot be done outside wifi. 

Hello All, I’m a little surprised this hasn’t appeared to come up.I have a Sonos Port connected to my AudioLab Stereo Amplifier. I use the 12v trigger to turn on but I’m also looking for a way to control volume on my AudioLab using the Sonos app. Ability to select the proper input (Dig2) would be a bonus and nice to have. I envision this making use of some external device that can read the Sonos commands and output via an IR blaster.  I tried building an Arduino based interface box that almost worked but my limited programming knowledge and time prevented success. I looked at something like a Harmony, but with that being ended by Logitech it seems like a waste of efforts. Plus I’d really like to use the Sonos app primarily. I don’t necessarily want a smart home interface just for this one function. It seems a waste and semi costly.  I’m open to any thoughts or solutions.  Thank you.

Is it possible to “tune” a Sonos Radio station? I don’t see a thumbs up/down, but does skipping a song or adding it to your library affect the future selection for that station for me?  

My Beam does not appear in the Products in system settings. If I add the PlayOnes it disappears. I am logged in. I tried all things mentioned in this post about turning of private network, etc.:  I have iOS 15.4.1; The Sonos app is 14.6 build 68228040  

I see the subject of unexpected/unwanted explicit lyrics appearing through Sonos Radio stations has been raised a few times over the years and I was wondering where Sonos stood on the issue and if there are any plans to enable filtering?For some father-daughter bonding today my 5yr old asked me to dance with her so we put the ‘Hit List’ station on and were having a great time (my dancing could do with some filtering but that’s a subject for another thread!) when the song Kiss Me More by Doja Cat came on... A lovely little number but one which got a little fruity as things went on to the point where I couldn’t assume her brain wasn’t picking up on the words and phrases that I don’t think she’s quite ready for just yet so had to mute it until then next track came on (which then just drew more attention to the song we’d just had and I’m sure she was mentally ‘rewinding’ in an attempt to decompose what she’d taken in and work out what all the fuss was about!).Any chance of one day being ab

How would we disconnect my wife's iPhone so I can connect my Android to SONOS please??Thank you

Where do I find the songs I have added to my Sonos Favorites on the iPhone App.I am sure like many Sonos users we add songs to Sonos Favorites.On the desktop controller - it is at the top of the Select a Music Source page that you see when first opening the app.I have been unable to find Sonos Favorites as a source in the iPhone app.Help!

Is the lack of Apple Music lossless support a Sonos Issue (haven’t got to it yet) or an Apple issue (not allowing other providers to access the lossless streams)?I actually think Airplay does sound better, but that is not why I bought Sonos speakers. Thanks

I updated my ipad and iphone operating systems (as usual) and now SONOS will not play my (3rd party) streaming radio stations. Problem appears to be an incompatibility issue with iOS 15.4.1. I can’t be the only one with this problem. What’s up?

Does anyone know if it's possible to playback video podcast audio to Sonos? All of my video podcasts are greyed out in the Sonos app. I presume because Sonos doesn't support the video file playback.

My library lives on a Synology NAS, and I've succesfully played music from there for months. Recently, I had reason to clean up my NAS user list, and I'm afraid one of the users I cleaned out was the user Sonos was using. I suspect I allowed Sonos to use the Guest account, and I've disabled that.Is there a way to modify the credentials used by Sonos to access a network folder? I'd strongly prefer to create a specific Sonos user on the NAS, and use that to access the folder from Sonos.(If not, I'll just re-enable Guest with read access to the music folder.)

As the title says. My alarm is turned on, but, isn’t playing. Also, I set the sleep timer, and it doesn’t turn off. Music plays just fine otherwise.

I can see my playlists using search/add track to playlist - how do I restore them to my home page?

Hi. BBC sounds app is not visible so cannot play BBC stations. many advice? 

I had a birthday party at my house yesterday.During the evening people asked me to put on music that was not in my free services choices. (You have to pay to listen to quality music on Sonos), so instead of subscribing again and again I decided to go to my computer and transfer all my music to folders on my smart phone (android galaxy s20 updated).This is where the problem comes in... I open my Sonos app (because nothing works without it) and... it can't even find my music files.Imagine that Sonos lists everything according to its taste and in its own way, so that it is impossible to find each other.So I have 2 choices left according to Sonos APP, either press SONGS FOLDER and everything will play pell-mell or select manualy each song after the other on the thousands of useless folders that Sonos has created for me.I tested on the SONOS PC version and everything works fine but not on the mobile app. But it was too late...(See screenshot) https://ibb.co/CQzrZDFHere is the only way I fou

I have a surround (Beam+sub+2xOnes), a Move and a Roam. I’m unable to see more than one product in my system. In the case of the Roam and the Move I cannot pair them as stereo because the system never detect both at the same time. If I turn one off, then the other is showing in the app.I tried factory reset all of them several times and make sure to Add product (I read a post where the problem seemed to be that the products were created in different accounts, but this doesn’t seem to be my case). I tried resetting the router, try to find the missing products, etc.Any more ideas? Thanks!

I've been a big fan of Sonos Radio HD since i started my trial and couldn't bring myself to cancel. It just sounds so great, and the station options are great so far; but I can't figure out how we don't have a Bollywood music station yet, or any Indian music at all, really. This seems like an obvious oversight; it's kind of a low-hanging fruit that would be a big crowd-pleaser. Do we just need to throw suggestions out there? (If this isn't the best forum for station ideas, I'd love to be pointed in the right direction.) On a more heartfelt note, the Metal music selection leaves so very much to be desired for fans of the more Nordic Metal styles. I think you could do quite well with a Swedish Death Metal station, or generally Nordic if you want to catch more content. The metal that is on Sonos Radio so far is just absolutely nothing like what I look for in metal music. I would call it more hard rock than anything, but I know I'm biased on that regard. And that's fine, but if you're look

Is there still no way of removing the Sonos Radio menu option?

New BT router. Now no operating Windows S1 controller!All parts of the Sonos S1 system working, except the CR200 controllers, which now display the BBC Sounds and Qobuz Music Services, but cannot access either. S1 mobile apps working, but what a drag they are - sucking the life out of the battery and never with you when you need a controller!However, back to the Windows S1 Controller. It states it cannot see my (existing) system. I have tried all the suggestions: restarting the router, restarting the Bridge (I do not use WiFi to connect), uninstalling and re-installing the Windows Controller. On set up of the re-downloaded Controller, set up states the “app” is ready, however the Conroller continues to state it cannot see my system.Any advice gratefully received that does not include ditching the Controllers and solely using the mobile and iPad apps, or using WiFi to connect (it needs an ethernet cable to the nearest speaker, which being a Play 5 is not easy to situate to connect by ca

Hello everyone,  I just set up my Sonos Arc on a new samsung tv model and everything works fine, but the tv doesn't shows the volume level with numbers. Using the tv remote (ore the Sonos app) I can turn up and down the volume, but I can t see the level of the volume. Is there some setting that I missed? Thanks

Hello,I have tow Pay:1 units that were connected to Sonos 1 controller app. Then I moved to Sonos 2 app. Since that day one of my Play:1 is considered “not compatible”. Error 30 keeps popping… Is there any way that unit can be updated? I don’t really want to operate 2 Sonos with 2 apps as recommended by Sonos. Tks.

I’d love a widget that shows a list of speakers with volume sliders to allow quick volume adjusting. Does such a thing exist at all for iPhone?I know there are a number of third party ones but not sure if any do what I want?  Cheers for anybody info 👍
