Does SONOS have anything in the pipeline to replace TuneIn for customer URL’s?

Custom URL Without Tunein
Best answer by 106rallye
You need have a (free) TuneIn account and the TuneIn app. If you have that you can ad customer url’s via the library section of the TuneIn app. They will be visible in the Sonos app (once you’ve added TuneIn to Sonos), though I’ve read criticism about the way they are presented.
Sonos tends not to discuss ‘pipeline’ projects. It has been the same for quite a while, with the FAQ here. Are you having an issue?
I have been adding URL stations since 2012 and the TuneIn link no longer will accepts them. I looked at multiple solutions that don’t work.

I don’t use this feature, but I’d think it works for most people. Specific stations/links might help those familiar with it help you. Have you called Sonos Support to discuss it?
When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

Absolutely and even when it does work, the process is clunky and frustrating. I still don’t understand why they never brought this feature back.
That said, I’m not upset about it. Sonos can’t do everything, and I’ll vote with my wallet. I’ve actually retired the Port in my kitchen (where I do most of my listening) and switched to a different streamer (the WiiM Pro). In addition to radios, it handles local libraries and audio formats much better.

My app (see profile) makes it easy to add custom streams (including testing they are valid before actually adding them) and play them back.

I have a free login with TuneIn and always sign in before adding a new URL. On my old S1 that I use at my office with a couple of older Play 5’s, I still can add URL’s without issue. It is the S2 that has changed over the last 6 months that I am seeing these issues. What I am missing in the S2 TuneIn section is “My Radio Stations”. I see the favorite section and I am able to add to that section by applying the heart but I can’t get any of them to play over to my SONOS S2 for playback.
