Controllers and Music services

I have an own Sonos system but when I try to connect to a friends Sonos system it can not find any system.In earlier version of the app this worked.My friends wireless network have the same namn.How I connect to my friends Sonos system?

All my content services have been removed (same on multiple iphones). The system will now not let me add any content services (so it pretty useless). I’ve rebooted, as well as signed out but it makes no difference. It just says unable to load content. I can play directly to the speakers from Spotify, but throught the Sonos app nothing works.

The Libby program will NOT start at the same point of the book.  The old APP did do this If I listen to a Libby book on JUST my phone for 1 hour and pause.  Then I move to the new Sonos APP, and choose the Libby Book - the book starts over. The Sonos Controller for PC version 16.2 STILL works correctly.  The prior Sonos APP did work as well.  The new APP does NOT work.

I have always loved Sonos and been using it for a decade now but the new app comes close to reducing me to tears. Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back to how it was, without having to go back to the original S1 please?  The rooms ‘apply’ function is a nightmare! I just cannot seem to get to grips with it.  I have sadly never seen such a regressive upgrade! Please please please, Sonos developers, do something to fix it! 

Its more of a statement than a conversation but i would welcome any input if i havent quite worked the system out since the update.I swapped from Bose to see what all the hype was about but soon realised i had a little more control with my Bose and the sound was on par in my opinion.I use Android and could bluetooth my phone Which contains a great music library from way back when..... no age jokes... haha.All i would like is to have nothing on my home page other than what i choose ie my favorites in the order i want them instead of what sonos think i should see.The option to put on it what you want should be standard, if this is possible and i havent quite got to grips with the system yet i would love to know.

It is not getting any better.The new app instead of improving as promised now it is in fact getting worse.We lost access to the system, the system states always shows up as unconnected, we try to update the network and nothing happens.We have now a set of speakers that we relied on and were part of our routine that do not do the basic function, playing music .So disappointing, how can an app upgrade go so wrong.

I bought a full sonos system about 4 years ago and my god, it was awesome. Within minutes I had a great sound system working, fully controlled by my phone. Amazing! Since then, every time I get an update something breaks. What used to be easy to do years ago is now painfully hard.  I recommended sonos to my girl friend this year based on my experience, but she has yet to get her system working weeks after buying the product.  I tried to play music tonight and after 20 minutes, have had no success at even hearing anything.  Why would a company that offered such an awesome product go and mess it up? Is there an option to pay real money to get sonos to just stop updating their app? Seriously. Doing nothing would be much better than what they're doing.  What is wrong with this company and why can't they get this right? Kevin

I don’t know what you are experiencing, but from my point of view, Sonos took a perfectly good working app and screwed it all up.The new Sonos app almost makes my system unusable.   It rarely identifies all my speakers, rarely connects to the speakers I want it to, and, when I try to control the volume it is almost completely ineffective.Being a tech person, I know these are software glitches that can be easily fixed with some resources and effort but Sonos does not seem to want to do that.  Unless it is fixed, in a year or so when I choose upgrade my system, Sonos will not be on my list of options.

I am unable to add new content services. Trying to add BBC Sounds, Spotify and Amazon Music. In each case, I get redirected from the Sonos app to the provider to authorise the connection and am told that the service has been added successfully. But when I return to the Sonos app I get an error message saying the service has not been added.I am using the Sonos app on Android and have 2 Era300s in a stereo pair and a Play3  

When we try to open the new & improved (LOL) Sonos app it doesn't recognize the existing network, we have to clear the Sonos app and then try and open the app again, hopefully it will work, if not repeat the process  

This business of trying to blame everything that’s not working with your Sonos on the S2 App refresh is getting out of hand. Missing features are a legitimate concern and should be brought to the attention of Sonos. However, there are other areas being thrown into the fray that are not warranted. Here are three (3) examples:1.     If the app is loading slow IT’S YOUR NETWORK AND/OR YOUR DEVICE.2.     If speakers are missing IT’S YOUR NETWORK AND/OR YOUR DEVICE.   3.     Interruptions with a streaming service is not and app issue (although Sonos may have to collaborate with the partner/provider as they post when they are down) it’s most likely a SERVER CONNECTION FAILURE.Interesting fact on #3. I had the pleasure to assist a member who all of a sudden couldn’t see their Spotify service on all devices. As I suggested (and they later realized) they had exceeded the numb

Got a really annoying bug here. My setup is a few Sonos speakers round the home. Spotify family plan with Alexa to play. The Sonos account is set to my kids account so they can use Alexa without polluting my recommendations. I have always used Spotify to play music as then the account for Alexa stays on the kids account. One of my favourite play lists is release radar but it is now not playing correctly. It will play the first song and then the second song appears to be like it is on shuffle on the play list then maybe three more songs as if on shuffle and then it's off into the recommendation wilderness playing songs not on the playlist. It's really annoying me and 50% of my Sonos listening is this and it doesn't work. If I go on the Sonos (cr)app, change to me and play release radar it works but I will get kid pollution then. Other playlists including discovery weekly seem to work  I suspect a big

Can anyone tell me if Sonos supports lossless streaming from Napster? Definitely a lot of info about Apple Music lossless out there, but I can’t find an answer about Napster. Any help?

Hi Sonos fam -New user since last year and am generally happy with the ecosystem and even the new app (although I am sometimes confused as to where I am exactly when swiping up or down and what thing is playing to what speaker or whatever)…There’s a lot of swiping, screens and icons and sh*t...”View System” takes you to a screen that looks nearly identical to other screens that I would also consider “viewing” the “system”...but anyway...It’s probably my most used app or at least in the top 5......now that NAS is back, I’m using it. I have a simple older SSD attached to a router via USB and it seems to be working at least at the moment. Took a lot of fiddling with my router seetings to figure out how to make it work….I find networking to be needlessly overcomplicated and over-jargonated. I’m trying to see if there is any expanded article/info on using NAS for SONOS. The stuff you do to add your “music library” in the app is basically 1 sentence a

Attn: Sonos CEO Patrick Spence, I’m writing this to give my thoughts on where Sonos has got it wrong with the new app and concerns on the companies direction. I, like many people, are Sonos lovers. It started with one device which convinced me of the dream of a single system running music through the house. We all listen to music in different ways and Sonos fulfilled that. I quickly became a marketing tool for the company because whenever anyone came to my house they would experience it. I was a big endorser of your product. But that’s all charged with the new app. It’s not irreversible which is why I’m writing to you, because I want my Sonos back… The biggest frustration for me with the new app is that I’ve been convinced to have a Sonos in every room, but I now struggle to use Sonos in my bedrooms because the new app initially didn’t include alarms but more so that it doesn’t include the sleep timer. This was used nightly in

On my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra I have both the Sonos 1 (because of a Play 5) and the Sonos 2 app for two other boxes. When I start the Sonos 1 app it immediately says “Use Sonos S2 app”  with no other option. This is completely stupid because I need Sonos One to make my Play 5 work. The duality between S1 and S2 creates a real mess. Unbelievable that Sonos hasn't been able to build a single app serving all its hardware. Very poor software development.Moreover, I have lots of problems linking my music library (on a NAS). Hard to believe. 

Hi,I’m having a pretty awful time with the new updates and I am experiencing a problem that’s been plaguing me since the new updates were made. When attempting to use Airplay as I always do everything works great until I add more than 2 Sonos devices.Currently I have an Arc, Beam and Five all wired via ethernet with Wi-Fi disabled. I also have a Move on Wi-Fi with a good signal on 5ghz. Regardless of the combination if I use Airplay 2 on Apple Music to play music on more than 2 Sonos devices the song will stutter at exactly the 2 second mark of the song every time a song changes.I also have a HomePod that I can add to the mix, and that’s fine as the third device. So I can go purely ethernet with 2 Sonos devices and I’m good, I can add the HomePod and still no issues, but if I add a third Sonos device to the fray, regardless of whether it’s on ethernet or Wi-Fi, it will stutter when changing songs at the two second mark. Things work okay on the Sonos app, but the

Hello everyone, i know problems with a music library on OneDrive are not new. It worked before perfectIy for me, but now it doesnt anymore.I can add the folder, Sonos has full access. And it plays the music in old playlists...it finds those just fine.But it doesn’t show the folders, the albums and titels anymore. I cannot search in my library or add new titels from my library to other playlists.What did i miss? Is this a bug or do I have to give more/other rights to the app.(Sonos App on Windows 11) 

Seriously, how do we not have support for Spotify volume normalization yet? It pretty much makes the product unusable, I'm likely going to return it all despite having just spent a fortune on it and looking forward to it. It makes the listening experience horrible, and having to adjust the controls every song does not scream premium product to me… Is there any word of a roadmap for this at all??

Hello,I have an issue with Sonos Arc and Sonos app. using my Apple Music account.Apple music is authorized in the Sonos app., but music started from the Sonos app. plays only several minutes. The sound is not heard, but Sonos app. shows Apple Music is still playing.I use Sonos voice assistant very often, where the Apple music is launched and the music plays few minutes only. Sometimes the playing song is skipped in the middle – it looks like wrong connection between Sonos app. and Apple Music app. Tested with two iPhones 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max with the same behavior.It worked without any problem couple of months ago.In case the music starts from Apple Music app. (using air play) it works without any problem! Also Sonos Radio via Sonos app. works without any issue.I was in touch with Sonos support via Chat, made all advises (restart all network components, reconnect speakers, remove Apple Music account and reauthorization, wi-fi/LAN cab

I can’t add music to my playlists can anyone help

Once again, instead of fixing bugs, the latest update has broken more things as I can’t even connect. What sort of QA testing is done before updates are rolled out? Cannot believe it!

I’ve been a SONOS Connect user for about 5 or 6 years and generally it's been pretty good.  Recently, however, Ive had a number of errors from skipping tracks, tracks stopping part way through etc. etc. - others have also reported similar errors.It got so bad recently that I decided to add my Apple Music folders (on an external drive) to my SONOS system.  This worked pretty well to start with - except for the awful interface.  At least everything I selected played!I then added some music and tried to update the Music Library.  It failed (can’t remember the exact error).  I couldn't play anything from the Music Library. (Note: at this point I updated MacOS as I had an update waiting).I decided the best course of action was to delete the Music Library and add it again.  Eventually I deleted the library - though this wasn’t that straightforward but eventually it went.Now I can’t add the shared folders to my SONOS system.  The error I’m getting is:“Una
