Volume normalization

Sonos needs volume normalization. Even services that have it such as Spotify pandora and Apple Music are not normalized when playing on Sonos.

iPhone 15 series can Trueplay

I mean seriously, how understaffed is the team in charge of Trueplay?Everytime when new iPhone models released, it’s not weeks, but months of waiting for Trueplay being available on the latest iPhones.So Sonos, can you check with your team on this years timeline on that?

Trueplay for Android users

This might be a workaround for some Android users to get Trueplay without having to borrow an iPhone.   Not an inexpensive workaround, so it's up to your own cost/benefit analysis.   Buy the cheapest iPad you can find.  I found a discontinued model on sale.  It works for Trueplay and has now become my sonos controller.   It sure was a lot cheaper and less hassle than switching to iPhone.  Plus, I get to dip my toes in the Apple waters FWIW.  Hope this helps someone.

SonoSaver - Export Playlists

I have a ton of playlists I wanted to share the lists with a couple buddies (just the lists not the actual music) SonoSaver (search for it on the web) does the job.I can save each Playlist as a CSV, convert then to Excel, clean up and sort to my hearts delight and pass along.

Sonos S2 app improvements needed

Sonos team PLEASE hire some people and finally make some improvements to the Sonos S2 app on iOS. The experience would have been so much better! PLEASE start with the Lock Screen control as so many people asked before already.

S1 & S2 Controllers with Windows 7

Some time ago I finally gave in to Sonos pressure and upgraded to S2 via my Android Tablet.  This gives a limited operation of Sonos.  However, I then found that the S2 App will not load on two of my Win 7 machines, the operating system is deemed incompatible.  (A third identical one is perfectly ok).   Worse still, Sonos 1 will now not load anywhere because my system is no longer compatible and I must upgrade to S2,  which cannot be done.  I have tried to downgrade my old Play 1 s  and Soundbar to OS1 but cannot get this to work.   Very frustrating.  And No, I do not want to upgrade to Windows 10.  If there is any solution I will be glad  to hear it.  Raymond

Parallel ‘old’ Sonos on S1 and new speakers on S2

Hi allI have a fairly old system with a mix of old S1-only devices and some newer devices that are S1- and S2-compatible but running on the same S1 system. All is well. I also have one S2-only device that I haven’t set up yet. I just want to plumb in this new device as its own standalone system, leaving the ‘S1’ system intact.  Any foreseeable problems, or tips? I do NOT want to disturb the existing ‘S1’ network and find eg that my newer devices have migrated to join the new S2-only device.  Thanks in advance

TIDAL Connect Integration

Hi,I am over here at TIDAL and am a mostly happy Sonos customer. I bought a brand new ARC system and was shocked to see that TIDAL Connect is not supported. Would Sonos be able to get this feature added please? This will allow for the highest-quality streaming experience for all customers and unleash the power of both platforms. Please see the below link to get started with TIDAL Connect integration by clicking on “Become a Device Partner”. Thanks!https://tidal.com/connect

Deleting a song from Sonos

You can’t delete a song from Sonos.  Sonos is grabbing the song from your source, which could be a disc or a streaming service like Pandora, Tidal, etc.  You need to go back to the source, likely on a PC or computer, and delete it there.

Sonos app and Apple Music playlist

I have been delighted with my Sonos speakers!   I have six One SL’s and an Ikea Symfonisk.   The Sonos app has been problematic.   It is currently not reflecting a new playlist that I created in Apple Music.   It does see my other Apple Music playlists and has updated the AM playlist view recently.  The Sonos app did not import any of my AM playlists into Sonos, although it did import music without playlists from iTunes.  It errors out when I try to rebuild my music index.  I am sure that I am greatly exceeding the Sonos app’s limits in terms of playlists—I have hundreds of playlists and at least 50,000 tracks.    I can work around the Sonos app by just playing back from Apple or Alexa via Airplay.   Drastically reducing the number of playlists in Apple Music did not fix the Sonos app import problems, and cutting back on my playlists is not a good solution for me.So my questions are: How do you force the rebuild of the Sonos app’s Apple Music playlist view? Why is the AM playlist view

Unable to connect to Audible - Wrong marketplace US instead of UK

Have own Sonos system for 2 years and never been able to connect to Audible. Many talks to support and no solution. I live in Iceland and have Audible UK, but when I connect to Audible the authentication is always for Audible US. Support tells me that I have to change my Sonos Profile and live in UK. For many months my Profile says I live in UK but still the authentication is for Audible US instead of UK.Why don’t let user choose witch Audible Market u want to authenticate against? Like everyone else does it.

why so many updates

I don’t use Sonos every day.  But on the weekends it’s nice to use.  Unfortunately the constant requirement for updates forces me to stop what I’m doing, update my computer, update my mobile device, often restart my computer and device, sometimes unplug sonos or my router to reset.  It’s become so burdensome that Sonos is no longer a usable device.  This has been going on for years without any signs of improvement.  Sorry, no longer will I be a Sonos user

Alarm on multiple speakers which are in multiple groups

I would like music to start playing on three different speakers at the same time. Thought an alarm would be best, but, even though there is a grouped rooms option, it only goes off on one speaker. A few questions for you pros:What is the purpose of that “included grouped speakers” option if it does not play speakers grouped together? I have multiple groups, in which the same speakers are grouped. How does checking that option determine which of the speaker’s groups are triggered? Finally, if there is no way to make this work, would setting the same alarm (to Sirius XM) on multiple speakers seperately work?Thanks all!  D

Sonos Can't Find Music Library on local PC

this could..i guess make some sense if i had the music was stored on a NAS or another PC on the network, but when i try to play locally stored Mp3 files from the very same PC, 80% of the time i get ‘an error occured the local>path>to>library>song.mp3 could tnot be found’. It gets even worse whe i try to play said music on the PC over network...but it does work 10% of the times. I reinstalled, reindexed, reset the router, firewall is fully allowing sonos service and client.
