Controllers and Music services

Hello guys,I have been using Amazon Music Family and my Plex library for years with Sonos.Since a few weeks/months, the Sonos app won’t play any content I select from the Amazon library. Just an error message.I tried to re-authorize Amazon Music from my phone. The process went through. But again, after searching for a title to play, error message.I tried to suppress Amazon Music from the services, to add it again. Same issue.Suppressed again, and now, when I select Amazon, it says impossible ta parse music, one issue occured when connecting to Amazon Music (translated from french).My Amazon Music account is active I can play from the iOS app.Other issue: Plex ! SOLVED: it was a port forwarding issue. the plex console turne red on external access after being green for a moment.The same, when I try to play music from Plex, I have a message saying “No available Plex Media Server has music libraries. Please create a music li

I can’t play my music in my library on my computer on my Sonos system. I’ve updated my son is up and I have updated music library 

Noticed that the Network option is missing but a Bluetooth is added from some Sonos speakers, app restart sometimes brings it back.MissingNo network but a BluetoothPresentHave network but no BluetoothAdded: wifi 300 stereo pair.

Hi there,just gotten my first Sonos product, a soundbar. I am testing the app right now and listen to a few songs.I am wondering how to scrobble the music I am listening to to last.fm though. Somehow I cannot find an integration. This is a huge surprise to be honest since every audio device or software I used in the past 20 years supported scrobbling.Not having scrobbling on the soundbar is annoying but it will mainly play movies. But when there is no scrobbling I cannot take Sonos serious as a music player and won’t get any other speakers which I will use for music listening.So any help for scrobbling is appreciated, and if its not possible take this post as a feature request.Cheers!

I am aware this feature request has been raised many times in the past, but the threads I found are now closed to further comments, so I am posting a new one here.I recently bought a Sonos Era 100 and I have been loving it so far. One enhancement I would really love to see, though, is more consistent loudness between tracks when listening to Spotify (especially playlists and shuffle).For reference, I also use a WiiM Pro streamer to listen to Spotify. WiiM added a toggle to enable/disable Spotify volume normalization in 2025 (*1), and it significantly improved the listening experience. As much as I love my Sonos, WiiM remains my go-to streamer when I need consistent loudness and don't want to keep manually adjusting the volume for each track that’s too quiet or too loud. I would love Sonos to offer feature parity here so the Sonos experience remains fully competitive.What I am requesting:Please provide a user-facing option for volume normalization when u

Hello all, I hope someone can help me.I noticed the other day that a few albums in my library had suddenly split into multiple albums. At first I thought there may have been an update that had changed the way certain albums were tagged. I did some rudimentary checks on the album tags (I use Tag & Rename) but couldn't see any issues. However on further examination I noticed that the multiple of the albums had the same track in them see images below.Multiple of one album.Only one track (The same track) showing in both albumsYou can see that a look into the folder for this album shows 11 tracks. 

I am experiencing an ongoing issue that has now persisted for over a year. One of the primary reasons we invested in the Sonos system was its ability to set alarms to play specific playlists — a feature we used daily. For the past year, however, the alarm function has been essentially unusable. Here are the consistent issues we experience:I cannot set alarms from my phone at all. My husband can set alarms from his phone, but only with the chime sound — no playlists will play. No matter what we try, the playlist option simply does not work.I have:Contacted your support team multiple times via phone and chat. Been told repeatedly that the issue “needs to be escalated” — but without receiving any follow-up or resolution. Double-checked every possible setting and update on our end.I would like a direct and specific response on:What is causing this issue? Whether Sonos

Multidecade sonos owner.  I've seen tunein stations come and go.  I've had issues playing certain stations on S1 because it didn't support the stations bitrate (radio dismuke) but was fine on S2.I've a problem with a specific tunein station called “radio synthpop”.  It queues, it plays TuneIn ads, it shows the song playing, the song playing updates when the next song starts -- but not one hint of audio.  I can play it through a browser no problem.Can someone do me a favor and see if you can reproduce this by loading this station?I can't post the image of it (sigh) but it's purple, green, and white.  SynthPOP RADIO “Tu Defecto... Perfecto".https://tunein.com/radio/Synthpop-Radio-s190690/

I’ve seen lots of threads with issues with Sonos Radio HD, I’m surprised at how poor it seems to be.  I’ve just taken out a month free trial.  I have a playbase connected to 2 play 1s in surround sound using S2.  Often Sonos radio HD will randomly cut out for no reason then start again a few seconds later.  It’s not my system as I have Apple Music subscription set to highest quality and until recently used Spotify with the same set up. I’ve never had any issues with randomly cutting out mid track, but this is a constant theme with Sonos radio hd.  When I switch back to Apple Music via Sonos this never happens.  Like many people it seems to have been reported the second they switch from the standard Sonos radio to radio hd the cut outs start.  So there must be an issue with there streams/compression.  Also even when it works ok the I’ve noticed the sound quality is not remotely in the same ball park as Apple Music or Spotify.  I’ve also tried tidal in the last year and no cut outs is

Is anyone in Sonos support aware of the following intermittent AirPlay bug that has been introduced as of iOS 26.2? There appear to be quite a few people experiencing it, including me on two independent, physically disjoint Sonos systems.While it is likely to be a bug introduced on the Apple side of the connection, with networking you never know for sure, so perhaps Sonos support should reach out to Apple about it.AirPlay Bug Report on RedditDave Ings

I get “operation failed” when I try to like a song on Pandora 

Is anyone else having problems with Deezer in Australia attaching the service to their Sonos account ?

The bottom line: After you set up an SMB share as a music library, wait an hour. Problems go away.The details: I recently set up my Music Library (a samba share on a Linux server). Sonos connected to the library, scanned it without error, and I was able to browse the library just fine from the Sonos app. However, whenever I tried to play any files within the Sonos app, playback would fail with a variety of errors that changed from minute to minute (“Content is unavailable,” “Permission denied,” “Connection timed out”, etc.). Also, none of my album artwork was visible, even though it was stored in “folder.jpg” files for each album in a separate folder.An hour later, after making no changes, all the problems vanished. Album artwork was visible, and all files in the Music Library were playable in the Sonos app.Moral of the story: wait an hour after adding & scanning a Music Library. What’s Sonos doing during that hour? Beats me

HiI have Sonos since around 2017. Since two weeks I have a new computer with Windows 11 and now I am unable to use the Sonos Music Library on the Windows App (Sonos Controller for PC). Error messages:Sonos was unable to add the music folder. Please check that the path to the folder, and the username and password if needed, are correct. Reason: Access to the shared folder "\\XY" is denied.or"\\XY" is no longer available. The device where the music files are stored may not be powered on, or the path may have changed.What I would like to achieve is to incorporate two folders in my Sonos Music Library (as was before):C:\Music\01-MusicC:\Music\02-MusicNewThe folders are 121 GB and 210 GB in size respectively and shared with a dedicated local Windows user account (no microsoft online account).I am able to access the paths via UNC (e.g. \\MyComputer\01-Music) in Windows Explorer locally as well as

Hello!Not sure if it's Mac OS related or Sonos app related but I can no longer find my system on my Mac mini. My iPhone works fine and my MacBook Pro also works fine discovering the system. I have deleted the app and reinstalled, made sure network and firewall access was enabled and still nothing. Anyone have similar issue with a fix? 

Several more Sonos releases have been and gone, and yet there seems to be no progress with restoring what should be basic functionality in the App which would greatly improve the User Experience:Still cannot save the current Queue to a playlist. Such a basic feature.  The Sonos Windows App can do this, as can third party Apps. Why do Sonos think this should not be included in the IOS App? After playing a radio station still cannot revert back to playing the current loaded queue with the App.  Again easily done in the Windows App and third party Apps.  Would it be so difficult to add a button to the now playing screen to get back to the queue? Alarms can be created, switched on and off - but once created they cannot be deleted?I think Sonos would be better off spending their time restoring some of these simple User Interface issues, rather than seemingly concentrating on secondary issues such as controlling Hue lighting via Sonos vo

After the latest Iphone update “Your Sources” no longer show up as an option in the Sonos app.  This is how we connect back to the TV once we are finished listening to music.  How do I add “Your Sources” back to the Sonos App?

Hello everyone,Lately, I've noticed the volume level seems lower when integrating Sonos and Spotify. I've tested this on several Era 100s, Fives, and Sonos Ones, and I find myself needing to increase the volume significantly compared to last week. Do you know if there have been any recent changes to the Spotify integration volume? This occurs whether using Spotify Connect and the Sonos app. Do you have the same feeling?

Since upgrading to Windows 11 my Sonos system was no longer recognising my Music Library.Having viewed other support advice, I have set my Wifi network to Private but it still doesn’t work.I removed the existing library and am now trying to add it back but am getting nowhere.I go to Music Library settings and click Add to add a new folder. I then click on browse and choose my music folder (on the same laptop) and then click on Next to add it.This brings up a window headed ‘Adjust file sharing settings’ saying the setup assistant needs to adjust the following 1) add sonos library service to firewall exceptions list and 2) set Windows sleep settings to Never. I click on Next to do this and then get a window asking if I want to allow Sonos to make changes. I click on Yes and it just takes me back to the window to choose my music folder. Nothing has been added.NB I have separately added the Sonos library service to my firewall exceptions list and the S

Some of my Sonos speakers don’t show volume sliders in the app and it’s driving me crazy. Audio plays fine and grouping works, but I can’t control volume for some of my speakers. It always ends up that one volume slider remains, while the rest disappear. And this on al my devices, they even show the same volume sliders grayed out.What I’ve already tried: All speakers are on the same 5GHz network, same AP Disabled AP isolation, client isolation - no change Turned off WiFi band steering - no change Played with IGMP snooping settings on my switches - still broken No multicast rate limiting configured Speakers have static IPs assigned Wireshark shows that all speakers are communicating, on both IGMP and SSDP. Even the ones that don’t show the volume sliders. The only thing that works is restarting my router, but even then the problem always returns. Running TP

Hello all.  I have been a subscriber to Apple Music for some time and, if you’ve ever used it, you are aware that the service creates a personal station for each subscriber based on their favorites and listening history.  My issue is that when I stream the station through the Sonos App it bears very little resemblance to the station streamed on the Apple app. It is much more restricted and excludes a lot of music.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi. Is anyone else experiencing dropouts, skips, etc with Apple Music since Apple Music moved to Lossless? Before Lossless was introduced, I never had these issues. I have tried Amazon HD and Quboz in the past - both high-res services - and experienced the same behavior. Eventually my system will realize it’s not working and then downgrade back to non-Lossless music, but then it will try again 5 songs or so later. We really need a toggle in the app to downgrade to non-Lossless streaming for the systems that can’t handle it.
