The end of the ‘old’ Tunein has terminated the custom radio stream for a too long time already. There is a very cumbersome way to get it back, but it requires far too many steps and the custom links are sent to the favortires where they cannot be edited.
The feature still exists in the Windows App but it is useless.
I went to Sonos because of this feature and I’m not the only one in this case.
So, WHEN WILL YOU HAVE AN ELEGANT SOLUTION to the infuriating lack of this feature???
Hi
Thanks for your post!
I can’t give you a date, but I can flag this post as a feature request for you and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!
Custom radio stations have been broken for 8 months since Sonos forced the new app on everyone.
Whenever I consider buying a new Move2 for the backyard, I remember you guys still haven’t fixed custom stations since the Ace fiasco.
I need the ability to add a custom streaming URL to Sonos, whether it’s through TuneIn or as a first-party feature. This is BASIC stuff I shouldn’t need to beg to be restored on a $2000 speaker system.
The feature was lost with the end of old tuneIn support on Sonos. And the new tuneIn service does not support custom stations via Sonos.
So the only way would be to add custom stations directly to Sonos own Sonos Radio service. At the moment there still are some features to fix / bring back to S2 that already worked on old S2.
I think after S2 has come back to the old status, Sonos will start to bring new features to the system.
There is a painfull solution to the actual shortcoming regarding custom URL. This was detailed in a post you should find here :
It works, somehow … And furthermore, there are some more problem when listening a custom URL I have also experienced:
And, last but not the least, the custom URL appears like this (in my case, using Rockradio):
https://listen.*********.***/premium_high/bluesrock.pls?listen_key=0123456789abcdef01234567
(not an actual key) although I gave it a shorter name.
We are still far away from the ideal solution we had in the old application.
So, Sonos, keep improving. We will be thankfull to ‘find’ this feature anew.
