Controllers and Music services

I'm very frustrated waiting for a feature of the latest update provides to be activated, checking a couple times a day in hopes of seeing it. That got me thinking of a feature that would be nice. Can we please have a placeholder for the pending features in each update? Nothing fancy needed, even just the controller option present but faded would let us know the App update was applied and we are just waiting on the feature activation to happen for us. Appending a "Pending" or "Coming Soon" would be nice too.Maybe on the update pop-up add a line about feature activations pending? That might lower the confusion about why other users are seeing things the user can't see, even though the update pop-up says the system is fully updated.

From yesteday Soundcloud service is broken in my S1 setup. Files not encoded properly .. again.. guess its happening to more than me..

Hi all. First time poster.  I have setup a stereo pair of One Gen 2’s and a sub mini in the Living Room and identified the group as ‘Living Room - Sonos’.  While Spotify on my android phone identifies the group as ‘Living Room - Sonos’ and plays music through both speakers, the app I am using (Hi-Fi Cast) only sees the group as separate devices. If I select the right speaker, sound comes out of it, and only it. Select the left speaker and the song won’t play. I have recreated the group a couple of times but still end up with the same issue. Weirdly, if I use the Spotify app on my phone, the music plays through both speakers, and if I close it and then use Hi-Fi app, while it sees the devices still as separate entities, it will play music from both speakers. As I said, Weird. The problem returns if I select the other Sonos device. A pic of the Hi-Fi devices tab is attached. I am sure there is something fundamental I am getting wrong with the setup. Appreciate advice on how this might

Reporting a bug here.  Amazon stations can be played from the station lists, but not from favorites.  When playing from favorites, it generates a “unable to play content” error, followed by a “something went wrong” error.  This happens on android and windows.  Again, the stations play when played direction from the station list.

On this weeks iOS (April 26)  update the A-Z listing down the left hand side of the screen  for “Songs” has disappeared (from Local Library)It’s still there for Artists and Albums

Hello,I used to be able to listen to the last two weeks of archived music from KCSM on Spinitron using the “Stream What You Hear” app on Windows 10 via TuneIn.But now, for reasons I cannot divine, I can no longer do so.I have re-installed the app. No luck. I have checked the KCSM streaming URL and it is unchanged from what I originally had.I can listen to the Spinitron archive on my computer speakers. But I cannot now find a way to have that same signal route to the Sonos TuneIn--which I used to be able to do for years!I am baffled and out of ideas.Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.Thank you.Matteo

When I load a user created Apple Music playlist the order of the tracks in the playlist shown in Apple Music does not match the order of the tracks in the Sonos queue.  Not by a long shot.The playlist was sorted by Artist in Apple Music. 

if you’ve had your Sonos and like to curate hundreds of songs that you’ve probably running to this problem, no matter what, eventually your playlist is invalidated. some songs will work some songs won’t, no rhyme to reason. Only that here you again having the curate yet another playlist of hundreds of songs.  I’ve seen this question raised in the community of 1000 times with 1000 solutions from customer support none of Which would’ve ever worked for any individual out there.  If this is happening to you, my guess is you are curated your playlist through the Sonos app itself. And that’s where the problem always has been. Providers like SoundCloud Spotify they often move the backend Details where music is streaming from Cyber space. Sonos is only able to take a static picture that will not remain for very long as these are moved randomly By all these music providers.  To correct this issue so that you don’t have to continuously create new playlis

Hi,new feature submission:with more and more portable speakers, headphones and truly wireless devices in Sonos’ lineup it would be really nice to use the app as a separate streaming device with mobile data on the go. The devices would better justify their price tags and Sonos would be probably the first with such feature on the market, meanwhile still locking it to Sonos hardware.let me know if you need more thoughts on the implementation.cheers!

I tried every fix posted online for this issue and after suffering from it for ~2 years, I finally spent a few hours and achieved this fix. Registered to the forums just to share this in case it helps someone else. The fix (probably)What finally got my Sonos macOS app back online after the "Your computer's firewall setting has changed. Your Sonos controller can no longer connect to your Sonos system" error: in-app Uninstall (NOT drag-to-trash) followed by a fresh download from sonos.com.Important caveat: I tried a lot of other cleanup steps before this worked. I can't say for sure whether the in-app Uninstall alone would have fixed it on a "clean" system, or whether the prior cleanup was a prerequisite. If you're hitting the same error, I'd suggest trying the simple fix first — if it doesn't work on its own, here's everything else I did, in case some of it matters in combination.Step 1 — Try this first (the simple fix)

Any recent changes to the S1 app? Or are there issues with the new Pixel Pro 10 phone?For nearly 2 years now, I've used the S1 app with older Play:5, Gen 1 speakers in my shop.  I've had two of those speakers set up as a stereo pair and it's worked great. Last week, I upgraded my phone from a Samsung Galaxy S21 to a Google Pixel Pro 10.  The transfer process pulled/installed the apps that I had on the older phone onto the new phone.  Not sure if they are the same version of the app software or not.The S2 system works just fine (once I logged back in) and all the units in the house are working as before.  But the Play:5s on the S1 are not.  I've uninstalled & reinstalled, factory reset the speakers and re-added them, both in the shop and also tried it inside the house.  I've successfully gotten 1 of them to work when plugged into my router, but it'll die a few minutes after removing the Ethernet cable.  And when I try to add the 2nd speaker, the first one die

This concerns a problem I have using S1 on my Imac desktop only.; no problem when using it  on my Iphone or Ipad.  On the Imac I am unable to perform the basic function of searching within Amazon Music (searching within any specific field: Artist, Album, etc.) in order to then “drill down” further “.o specific searched-for items and add them to my queue.  Having chosen Amazon Music under “Select a Music Source”  I end up with the screen in the attached photo. The “Search” functions within this screen seem to point only to Artists, Songs, Albums etc. that  I have previously accessed (on previous S1 outings), but to come up empty for my current search “argument”.  Any advice much appreciated! 

Is Sonos resolving this support problem?

Hello everyone. Apple music does not play. Gives me the song title and the album cover but then says the connection was lost. Does it 3 or 4 times then drops. All the other services (pandora, audacy, iheart) work just fine. Does anybody have the same issue? Thanks.

Hi everyone,I’m having an issue with my Sonos system after setting everything up.The speakers were successfully added and were working fine initially, but now they are no longer showing up in the Sonos app under “System” or “Devices”. I can still see some signs that they are connected to the network, but they don’t appear in the app anymore.I have already tried:Restarting the speakers Reinstalling the Sonos app Rebooting the router Checking the WiFi connectionBut nothing has worked so far.Has anyone experienced something similar where devices go “missing” from the app even though they are still connected? Any advice on how to restore them would be really appreciated.Thanks in advance!

I use a Sonos One stereo pair in the bedroom and frequently use Sleep Timer.After recent updates, when Sleep Timer finishes and playback fades out to zero, both speakers show a solid green LED during the night.Important behavior:If I manually pause playback → no green LED appearsIf Sleep Timer ends playback → green LEDs appearSpeakers remain fully online and functionalNo need to restart or reset devicesThis did not happen previously and seems like a change in behavior after recent Sonos app/firmware updates.Since this occurs in a bedroom use case, the LEDs are disruptive at night.I suspect Sleep Timer end-state is now treated as mute/idle, triggering the green LED.Can this behavior be confirmed or reviewed?

1. How can I create ad-free playlists of various genres? 2. Does Sonos still block playing downloaded music from my iPhone? 

For the second time in 5 days Pandora has stopped working.  It was playing and then stopped. Radio stations work and I can play my music library.I spent a lot of time with their chat bot and then a service representative,  which was completely unproductive (yes, my internet was working- all other sonos services were working).After the first instance, Pandora worked the following day. Anyone else having this problem? Ideas for getting Sonos to pay attention?Thank you

Whenever I look for a particular artist via the Sonos app (through Apple Music) I get “An error has occurred with Apple Music. Try again later”. On the rare occasion an artists albums show up the playlist is empty. I have re-authorized my Apple account, restarted my iPhone and Sonos app. Everything shows up in the Apple Music app. Any suggestions?

I can't add Imported Playlists to the queue in the Android app from my Music Library.  This was working previously in the Android app.  Doing the same Imported Playlist in the Windows version of Sonos app is working without issue so it is not an issue with the Playlist.The Android app can see the tracks in the playlist, but if I click on the play or shuffle icon it just spins away doing nothing. If I try to add or replace the queue with the tracks from the playlist it just spins.If I click on the three dots next to.the track and select Play Now, the track plays.This is broken for even Imported Playlists with 1 track.Is this a known issue that's been broken in a recent app update? I have searched but can't see anything about imported playlists broken on Android recently.Android App Version:  83.01.9

Just an update to a previously reported issue Duplicate album names queued together | Sonos Community.  I have this album on my music library (apologies for some of the titles, but that’s the way it is): File list for album tracksThe album is listed three times in the controller: Selecting any one of the duplicate titles shows only one track: The

Hi, Today Sonos windows controller  indicated that an update was available. I tried to run it, but Smart App Control intercepted and blocked the update from completing. Message was that the publisher could not be verified. Help please.

Sonos app is working fine on iOS devices but not on MACOs. Have tried everything recommended by Claude for over an hour. Nothing seems to work.  Keep getting error message about a firewall issue. Claude think it’s a bug with Sonos and Apple not playing nice with Local Network connection networking issues.

Any reason why exclusively ……………. station still won’t play on My Tuner Radio?
