Controllers and Music services

I am new to Sonos and want to adjust the sound characteristics of my Roam 2. I can’t seem to find it. - Paul

 Is there an option in the app to change a single tap to play to a double tap to play?  Too often when I’m fiddling around in the queue my finger starts a track when my intent was to scroll up or down a bit.  If I could choose Double Tap to play that would not happen while scrolling.

Questions from a white-haired old granny who’s not great on technical jargon.I’ve had a Sonos system in my house for some years: S1 controller, 2 Play3 speakers and a sound bar, plus a Connect box linked to a Denon CD player and speakers. Accessed via a Mac mini (running Tahoe 26.3.1) and the Sonos app on an iPad and iPhone.For some months I have not been able to access my music library either on Mac mini or portable devices. I gather this problem has been raised before but I haven’t seen an answer.Questions:I gather I can upgrade to Sonos S2 – but will the Denon no longer fit?Do I have to replace the speakers? If this is the case I think it’s a very poor do.I have a Synology NAS drive – I’ve seen comments about using this but don’t understand where it fits in.

I’m using the Sonos S1 with 2 x Play:5 in a stereo pair for the last 6-7 years or more.  I usually play the Radio Paradise stream direct from the RP service and NOT through TuneIn.  Right now, I’m only able to get 10 songs with no way to increase this limit.   Has anyone else noticed a limit on the queue size that will play from such a service? 

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.

I have been unable to use my old S1 for a couple of years. Trying again, but no settings icon on the app. I’m trying to check wi fi etc but without settings I can’t do. I have an up to date iPhone 12

"We found an update. Let's get Sonos runnning on the latest software." I click Update."The Sonos controller installer failed to download. Your controller did not update successfully. Please try updating one more time..."So it sees that there's an update but it can't download it. Using Sonos Controlller for PC 11.15, Sonos OS is S1. Operating system is Win10 Pro. I have two speakers, both Play Ones.I shut down my PC, rebooted my router, turned on my PC, plugged a play1 into an open ethernet cable, opened the Sonos S1 Controller program on my PC, it saw there was an update, I clicked Update and I still get the same “The Sonos controller installer failed to download” error message. Please advise.  

Ive tried adding bbc sounds to my system. But it doesn't even show on the app as a service i can add. I've added my address to the account to let it know im in the UK. Can someone give me a step by step guide ideally with screen grabs cos im completely stuck. I must be missing something.

On Android the alarm using the number keypad isn't staying open to set the timeSo is now useless.

How come there is no Accuradio album art on the Sonos app?  It shows on the Windows controller so I know the artwork exists.Any ideas?John 

It’s like traveling backwards…...now, once again, getting “access denied” errors whenever I try to play from my server.  I thought we were done with this.  I can’t believe I, once again, have a useless system.  This is such hot garbage.Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Since the update to macOS Tahoe I have been unable to connect to the Mac Sonos app. I have re-installed the app but that has made no difference. I spoke with an agent on  Sonos chat and he said as the update had only just happened that might be the reason. I thought that’s why Apple released beta versions  so cos could sort out any problems prior to the general release. It’s working fine on my iphone that was updated at the same time

Can anyone help….File sharing is on, Media sharing on..In Privacy smbd, sonos and SonolibraryServer are allowed access to files and folders

Imagine if you could EVEN order your playlists?  I mean, it's gotten to the point, where what IS the point of having great sounding speakers through out the house...when the controller of the music you can play is awful.    Remember using the alphabet?    Imagine if you could organize your music like cd’s or records of yore.  Or, at least, imagine if it was more compatible with the dynamic players who on the flip side don’t have speakers. Like Soundcloud, or Spotify or Tidal. It’s like, hit play, and guess what will come out, guess which speakers will connect on any given day...because there is no control.Why oh why won’t Sonos build interface that is respectful of music and music listeners? Please????   

I rename it over and over, yet it always reverts. I rename it in the system settings for that speaker under the old name to the new name. Looks OK for awhile.Then...THE HORROR! It’s back! Again and again and again and again and again.God have mercy on my soul.

My speaker groups drop out and come back whenever I start music or skip a track (Apple Music and Spotify). And sometimes just randomly. Based on what I’ve read here, it seemes like a Wi-Fi interface issue, and I have followed every suggestion, to no avail. But today I realized that the problem is nonexistent when playing records via the analog-in on one of the two Fives. I’m praying that this info, in the right hands, might help me finally sort out the dropout issues when streaming. 

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 almost only play Applemusic on my Sonos. I prefer to use AirPlay because to me it seems that if I play directly from the Sonos app, my plays are not registered in Apple Replay. Recently played songs are not listed in Apple Musics recently played list.  Neither can I see my songs played in stats.fm Does anybody know if there is a way to register that? I would like to play from the Sonos app but I will not lose my “history” by doing that.  K.R. John

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

Sigh. Apologies for being a wet blanket, but after I got the Android lock screen controls, I thought it would be somewhat useful. But,after a few days, I find I don’t make use of it, and it takes a great deal of space in the notification pane. Also, it seems to come and go; it is not consistently there when I play something. Worse, I see now that there’s a musical note icon on my Pixel watch that brings up a mini Sonos controller. This might be useful; however, it is located in the same place as the notification dot, and with my fat finger I am constantly bringing up the controller when I want the notification. I can’t find a way to disable having this on my watch. So, I’d like to disable the lock screen on the app, but I see no way of doing that. Perhaps it is a phone setting, but I haven’t been able to find that either. Any help would be appreciated. I’m on a Pixel 10 and a Pixel 3 watch BTW.

I would like to be able to set the volume of certain rooms (that have an amp with external volume control) to a higher (or lower) initial volume. In the living room I have to either turn my external amp way up when selecting Sonos as input (and remember!!! to turn it down when switching input so the tv input don't blow the speakers) or when grouping rooms turn that one room all the way up in Sonos). I like the rooms to be the same volume across inside Sonos so they all reflect the actually volume level.So basically adjusting the delta volume per device when set to variable line out.  I have not found a way to achieve this yet. 

So I been having this issue where Spotify will not play properly it will skip or stutter ect continually, I have contacted support and told its WiFi issues, then something else and now this see below, so my question is When will this is be resolved? 

Just for fun I made an almost lp size pixelated album art display that is Sonos compatible. Has several modes to alternate between art and title/artist views.

Chatgpt says they are gone with the ‘new’ app?? What? I can force them to appear when adding songs … but how on earth do I navigate to them… wonderful ux… gosh
