Controllers and Music services

Any news on iPad 8th gen trueplay support please please please

Hello,    Has anyone been able to get Sonos Roam to play the selected alarm music instead of the default Sonos Ding Dong alarm sound?Thanks  

Here's what I mean - missing/greyed images vary at random.…  

This isn't a new request. It's been made before, literally years ago:https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/android-widget-transparency-6854974  Please, please, please add a transparency option to your Android widget 🙏🏼

On my Android phone I have a LARGE music library (almost 10K tracks, mostly flac).Black player manages fine, and I have all my playlists there.The Sonos app struggles with the libary size, AND cannot see my playlists.How do I play to the Sonos One speaker from the Black Player app?

Hi there,Was looking the Never Stop Exploring radio, the one co-created by Sonos and The North Face, but I do not find it.Any clue?Thanks!!

Are there near-term plans to let me play SONOS radio on my phone, so that I can connect it to a Bluetooth speaker? I love SONOS radio and subscribe to the upgraded service. But I travel 2+ weeks a month and can’t play SONOS radio on the road. 

It’s 2021 and yet the Apple Music w/in the Sonos app looks like it’s from 2001!  Bottom line is that features within the Apple Music app are missing from Sonos.  There’s no Browse.  The My Music feature doesn’t show all of my downloaded music that I have in my Apple Music Library.  The Radio feature within Sonos doesn’t match up.  Even the ‘My Sonos’ feature is not accurate.  The ‘recently played’ isn’t in sync or flat out wrong.    I love the Sonos speakers and want to add to my system but dang it Sonos, the app is really starting to cause a problem and has me thinking of going in another direction.  Yes, the Sonos app will play music but it’s becoming a pain.  I get it that Sonos has to work with Apple and other providers but I’ve been a Sonos user for years and still nothing has improved.  

Hi,I have a question related to iPhone volume control. When I send music directly to Sonos from my iPhone, I have no trouble controlling my Beam’s volume from my phone. On the other hand, when I stream video content (Netflix, etc) through my Samsung tv (connected to my Beam via HDMI Arc), I can’t control the volume other than from my tv’s remote. Is there no way to do this? It seems like a pretty simple situation, but I can’t figure it out. Thanks very much

Is it true that I cannot select multiple speakers for the alarm?I understand it can play to grouped rooms, but we don’t use static groups, so that is not an option.

I am wholly disgruntled at Sonos partnering with Brian Eno and making his Lighthouse station only available in HD. It is both thoughtless and greedy in my view (by both parties). How many fans of Brian Eno are able to afford new Sonos 2 equipment, further paying a monthly subscription to listen to his music? Do they expect those of us who have lots of Sonos 1 equipment to simply pay a fortune to upgrade? And what about those who cannot afford Sonos equipment in the first place?Sonos should insist on providing alternate listening options for use with any equipment in SD. Shame on Sonos and Eno alike.I don’t object to paying for music but I really am disgusted at the ivory tower mentality of this project (not to speak of the very deep pockets required to participate).Sonos previously had an unblemished record in my book and I have persuaded many people to purchase at least one speaker, sometimes more.I won’t be doing so after this disgraceful act.

If I buy this new subscription being offered can I play it on my IPhone when I am away from my house and no wifi?

I’m trying to figure out whether to rip lossless or not and wanted to do an a-b comparison of the same track recorded at different rates.  But I have to distinguish the tracks in some way.  I tried editing composer tag using Windows Medial Player and then rebuilt my Sonos library, but it still shows only Beethoven, not Beethovenb, the edit I had done.  So how to I distinguish two rips from the same track so I can play the different versions, either through editing tags or some other means?  Thank you. 

I changed my wifi password and was able to update 4 of 5 of my devices in the app. When I go to add the final speaker, it claims the app is out of date and will not let me progress. When I go to the app in Playstore it says it is up to date.  I am on version 13.2 Sonos OS S2 I have factory reset the speaker, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on both my phone and tablet. I have also restarted my phone and tablet.I found a similar issue from a post two years ago. Tried everything on that list and was unable to resolve this issue. 

I have several different groups set up on my Sonos system (multiple Sonos Ones).   In the Sonos App, I would like to be able to select which group to play and/or to switch between groups (e.g. sometimes I want to play music in the living room, but nowhere else.   In short, I’m simply trying to figure out how to play music in different rooms at different times thru the Sonos App.  I assumed I could just switch the group that was playing, but I cannot make that work.)   Can someone tell me how?Thanks

Recommendation for a dedicated Sonos remote: My favorite CR200 is dying, dead spots on screen and probably not worth  buying a used one. I want to find a device (small) to use as a dedicated remote, I play mostly from Amazon and do have a small favorite list, also play a lot from the SonosTube app.  Don’t have a smartphone I could use for this and don’t want to use my iPad pro as well (too big to carry around 12.9). Looking for maybe an Android based OS hopefully can use as a remote, what I don’t know is minimum version of android I would need. iPhone too expensive just to buy and use as a dedicated remote, recommended please.

Although pCloud storage can be accessed via an SMB connection to a local machine that has pCloud support installed, it would be useful to remove the necessity of having that extra machine. Would pCloud people have to provide such a piece? If so, would this automatically allow content to be scanned and available as part of the Music Library? I presume so, but just checking.

I see a number of people who ask basically the same question.  With the myriad of updates we’ve gotten, the dev team at Sonos can’t figure out how to add a sort option to the playlists?  This seems so plebian and basic, it’s difficult to understand why it still hasn’t been done.  Leads me to believe they give us this “community” and then pay zero attention to it.  Oh, and yesterday I tried to search within my playlist for a song and it went out into Apple Music and wasn’t even remotely what I wanted to do.  I wonder if anyone on the Sonos dev team actually uses the app?  

Any updates on bringing back the dates field to Stitcher podcasts? Removing the date field has made listening to podcasts un-usable to me. I’m really hoping this gets resolved. The date field was incredibly useful. 

Please add DatPiff.com mixtapes as a streaming service.

Sonos team-  I’ve seen countless threads in the community over the last year of how this Snooze feature does not work. It’s clear this is a big, and as a software engineer, I can tell you this is probably the simplest bug to fix.  I’m  sure you have other items in the backlog, but why has this simple feature not been addressed in over a year?!?! It’s clear the community wants it, and it’s clear this is a major value proposition of the Sonos One SL.  please reply to my post as you have not replied to anyone who is facing the same challenge. This is an awful user experience, and as a public company I expect that you address customer issues in a more customer centric way by READING THE COMMUNITY BLOG AND ACTING ON IT Thank you

Cannot connect my speakers because Sonos told me I’m in beta. 

Hello everybody !I come from France, so I'm sorry if I do some mistakes with my english^^I have a playbar (+ 2 play 1 + sub) connected on my LG TV (OLED GX) and I use the spotify app on this TV to listen music (I also use my phone with WiFi, but it is very pleasant to have a big screen)But when the sound come from a TV, the Playbar set the sound in 5.1 as for a movie, and it is very worse than WiFi for music.Does anyone have a solution to have music setting on my playbar when I use Spotify on my TV ?The only solution I've found is using spotify on my PC connected on my TV.… Thank you everybody :)Rémi

With the introduction of Dolby Atmos to Apple Music, will the Sonos app begin supporting Dolby Atmos and Lossless audio?
