+1Hello.
Using Sonos S1 due hardware. I would like to change a recurrent alarm to a radio station. I go to …
Settings > System > Alarms > (select alarm) > Music > myTuner Radio > ?!?!
Form now on, I don’t find any possibility to search for a specific radio station. The huge lists are not even sorted alphabetically. This is very poorly designed. How can I find my station without wasting time scrolling through the endless list of stations?
Thanks.
+24With TuneIn stations you can just add a station to the “my stations” list then easily pick that in the Alarm ux. No idea about MyTuner.
If you have a direct url for the station you can use that as well.

Yes, you are right. TuneIn offers a “My Radio Station” page, which you can use as you describe. However myTuner Radio doesn’t provide this page.
However neither TuneIn, nor myTuner Radio, allow a search through the tons of stations. Sonos doesn’t even sport a vertical scroll bar. This is poor.
Off-topic : I used TuneIn before, but many stations did only work temporarily.
What radio station are you looking for?
That’s not the point.
It’s any station.
So I assume you found the station you were looking for?
The best way to search for a station on myTuner would be By Location. I found a radio station in my area pretty easily searching by location.

I found it indeed using Location ... after +10 minutes. Nevertheless, the fact that Sonos iOS app doesn’t implement a simple basic search textbox, or sports a scrollbar, or only sorts the stations alphabetically … is programmatically speaking a shear disaster, especially considering the price of Sonos products.
Are there any apps out there which provide the same functionalities, but offer a decent user interface?
+24There are other apps, yes, but as the underlying Search api has no way to filter by "alarmable" none offer the feature you require to my knowledge. Also, I recall no requests for this before.

That was what I was afraid of to hear.
Thanks for explain!
hey everyone, think i’ve found a workaround for this.
if you use If This Then That (IFTTT) you can link up with your sonos account and trigger a Sonos Favourite (no need to scroll through massive lists to find your station).
i’ve then used my google home setup to create a scheduled routine where it activates my IFTTT “applet” that plays my Sonos Favourite and sets the volume to my desired level.
bit of a pita and doesn’t use sonos alarms but achieves the same thing; hope it’s of use to you!
