YouTube Music vs CR200

Hello,I know that CR200 support is limited at best, and I understand that the older device is probably quite limited in terms of program storage space.But now that Google Play Music is dead (RIP) I am very hopeful that you can reclaim some of that program space to fix Youtube Music support.Because today, on my CR200’s, all I see when I select Youtube Music is “Unable to browse music.”

YouTube Music not letting me skip or scrub tracks

In the past week I have started having issues with YouTube Music where I will select a track under an artist, but it won’t let me add it to the queue and it won’t let me skip/scrub - it just plays without making any changes to the queue. It’s also happened when I’ve tried to play a full album, and will just loop one track continuously while scrubbing and skip/back are not available. iOS 14.2.1

iTunes library not matching sonos library

Couple issues.The biggest one is updating my Sonos music library to match iTunes library.  Just purchased couple things from iTunes. Did an “Update Music Library” in Sonos - it took a long time to index (only added one album), but when it finished, I can’t find the artist, album anywhere in Sonos library.  HELP???One other issue.  There are times that I’ve gotten new music and it catalogued perfectly by artist in iTunes but doesn’t show up in Sonos music library by that artist.  I’ve usually been able to locate it by looking through albums, compilations, songs, contributing artist, composing artist or sometimes even genre.  I’ve never understood why Sonos doesn’t always mirror iTunes library.  Any idea why this is?

My Sonos stopped working round 1600 saturday december 5. 2020

I have used Sonos for several years on 2 locations on 4 different devices and 2 different accounts with no problems together with the danish YouSee-Music streaming service.Suddenly the music stopped and could  not be started again.Sonos apps claims that there is no connection to YouSee no matter which account i try. Sonos apps claims, that it cant connect to YouSee and verify accounts. Sonos app says, that I should contact YouSee. Other streaming-services works fine.YouSee says, that it is a Sonos-problem. I can log in and out on YouSee and play music on the YouSee app on the 2 iPhones and on my MacBook Pro with the accounts Sonos cant reachI have afterwords updated  the apps on 2 iPhones, 1 iPad and 1 MacBook Pro to Sonos S2 with same result.My conclusion is, that Sonos suddenly from this afternoon won´t communicate with YouSeePlease advice. Best regardsPoul Erik

Spotify Connect - Switching back and forth

I’m probably in the minority and just started trying Spotify Premium with a free trial.  I currently use Tidal, so I’m trying to figure out how people use Spotify with SONOS.  Here’s an example: I’m listening to Tidal and at the top of the hour, go to my radio station to hear the news, then switch back to Tidal when the news is over.  All in one app (the SONOS app).With Spotify, I have to open Spotify, start music, then open SONOS to switch to news (which automatically overrides Spotify).  Then I have to go back to Spotify, tell it to “forget” my SONOS room, because no sound is coming out, and relink it back to SONOS.Just seems like a pain to switch sources.  Why would SONOS allow an app to bypass there app?  Seems like Spotify is taking control of the user interface (grouping, connecting, volume), bypassing SONOS.  Almost like a power play where one day Spotify will simply connect to multiple devices, some SONOS some not.

sonos Playlist uses old deezer account so doesnt play

I have changed my music service provider from Deezer to Spotify.  When I then use my Sonos system with a playlist I generated on Sonos which has songs added from the old Deezer account to the playlist now won’t play.  So question is … is there anyway of updating the playlist so it looks at same song but from my new Spotify account?

You see login not recognized

Today just out off the blue music stopped playing and since then neither me nor my wife can access our yousee music account through sonos. It keeps saying that I cannot browse the music. Yousee music app works fine though. I removed my sonos account from the app and put it back. I removed my yousee account from there and when trying to add it back it said the yousee server doesn't recognise my login information and I should contact yousee. I changed my yousee login in their own app and it works fine as before. I tried to add it again to sonos with the new password and it still says it cannot be recognised and I should contact yousee. I'm in doubt there's anything wrong at yousee, since my password works fine in their own music app. It's also extremely strange that both mine and my wife's accounts stopped working on sonos at the same time. Can you help? BR Petr

Sonos has become useless with the new app installed

All system checks, rebbot, re-connect has been perforemed over and over again. I have a rock solid wifi system and everything worked seamless. Until the app was updated. Running the latest IOS and SONOS software. Whats wrong with the new app. The whole system is just annoying. The only way to use the system is by airplay.

Not enough room to update library

Could someone explain to me why this message even occurs. I was under the impression it was indexing the HD where my music files were. Why would it need space for that? Just index the damn thing and let me play on!Can I do something to change/adjust this setting?Thank You  and Merry Christmas to allDevildoc

SONOS no longer recognizes music folder of upgrade

Hi - I recently updated the Sonos App on my MAC to v12.2 (as well on my Android devices).  This coincides with an upgrade of my iMac OS to Big Sur.  My SONOS now no longer recognizes my music folder (an external USB drive attached to my iMac).  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can't reauthorize Apple Music

Hi, the Sonos controller recently said I needed to reauthorize Apple Music. When I followed the instructions and input my Apple id the Sonos app screen just blanked and stayed like that. I tried removing the Apple Music service completely and re-adding it. At the point of selecting ‘I’m already a member’ (of Apple Music), same outcome with screen just blanking out to white. Help please Sonos - I’m so bored of having problems with your system...

Classical tracks skip before finished

In both the HD Radio Symphonies and Classical Concert Hall the track being played does not finish. It often skips to the next track. I’m paying a monthly subscription for this joy. Surely the technicians can create tracks with a two second pause between them?

hiss sound when playing from YouTube music

There's a quick hiss that happens occasionally when playing back from YouTube music.  I submitted diagnostics.  973179111It's hard to describe but sounds like a fast hiss.  Or like a cd skip.When playing from other sources no issues.
