Controllers and Music services

Hello, I recently purchaseed a new hp laptop running windows 11.  I have the sonos 2 app on my android phone.  I did share the folder, made the changes in the firewall, etc.   The music folder is on my laptops hard drive.  The network path is:  \\RSL-NEW-HP-OMNI\MusicWhen I hit “add shared folder” from the Sonos 2 app on my android phone and input the above network path I get the following error message:  “\\RSL-NEW-HP-OMNI/MUSIC is no longer available.  This library’s device may not be powered on, or the path mayh have changed”.I still have the folder \\SCOTTNEWLAP/MUSIC in my folders from my old laptop which is no longer working and has been destroyed.Any suggestions to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!  Scott

Since the recent Amazon service update, the Desktop app has a blank line instead of “Albums”.Amazon Music / Collections / LibraryThis is because Amazon’s presentation map uses invalid StringId values here:It should not be using StringIds here, it should be using tokens of “title” or “artist”. Once the pmap is fixed, the Desktop app will work normally. (Other DisplayType entries have similar errors).

I love the new products and enhancements recently announced. Great stuff.BUT, it has been a year since local library indexing was broken. When are we going to see some movement on this? It is just crazy that this isn’t on someone’s radar as a priory to get fixed.I know Sonos employees don’t frequent this community, but it sure would be nice to get some feedback that this is going to get fixed.

Recently Played seems to have disappeared from the Home screen, and no way to recover it - anybody know why/how to recover? I find this one of the most useful features when ‘channel hopping’ over my favourite radio stations.

Hello, simple question.... what are the chances that Qobuz Connect will be operational by the end of 2026?

A recent update completely broke it for me, i don’t do streaming, i buy the albums i want (this works best for me).  As of the recent update (i don’t know which update exactly as i hadn’t listened via sonos for a couple of months):I i select the Amazon service followed by library fllowed by Albums i get all the albums in a random order (possibly purchase order?) and no way to sort, this is next to useless when you have several hundred albums If I click on an album i expect to get the tracks on the album (always have up to now) but all i get is the option to play that whole album, no tracks are listed at all. Related to the above some (seemingly not all) albums will then shuffle other songs not in that album into the album (text states “Shuffled with similar songs. For on-demand playback visit https://amzn.to/gb_am_in_sonos”), the address just takes me to the amazon us homepage which is of no help all the sonos favourited items i had no longer work, they show in the sonos app but simply

I'm trying to add a shared music folder from my Windows 11 PC (hostname: DESKTOP-I92FCEI) as a Music Library source in the Sonos app, so I can play it through my Sonos Port. I consistently get an error stating the computer/path cannot be found, regardless of the exact path format used.What I've already tried, with no success:Verified the folder is properly shared on the network (share name "d", full path D:\Ma musique), with correct read permissions. Confirmed my computer's network profile is set to Private (not Public). Enabled Network Discovery and File/Printer Sharing under Advanced Sharing Settings. Checked Windows Firewall rules — allowed "Sonos Desktop Controller" and "Sonos Library Service" for both Private and Public profiles. Confirmed no third-party firewall is active (only Malwarebytes, which has no firewall component). Tried both the computer name path (\DESKTOP-I92FCEI\d\Ma musique) and the direct IP path (\192.168.2.16\d\Ma musique). Confirmed my Sonos Port (IP 192.168.2.

Eighteen months ago, or so, i was prepared to dump all my sonos kit in the bin, when the software was absolute rubbish. What has happened since, I know not....... someone has got there act together. I have not got all the latest stuff , original Playbar, Sub, Sonus 1 as surround sound. It sounds absolutely fantastic and I commend who ever got thus stuff to work, as it should.This is just a thank you to the tech team , for sorting this out.  I have a surround system for both tv and music which is as good as it can be....... well done !!! 

After the latest Sonos updates, I’ve been unable to select any of my imported playlists on my Sonos system import from my Mac.  I’ve installed all software updates, both OS and Sonos, on my Mac and all of my devices.  I can play Mac playlists on my Sonos that were selected before the updates, but I can’t select any new playlists for playback on my Sonos system (which makes it even stranger)….   The system will allow me to select songs, artists and albums, but not play lists.

How do i add my Brennan music library so that i can see it in the Sonos app and select music to play

I have been unable to lock Sonos settings for my Play Portable on iPhone 17 Pro MaxiOS 26.6 Sonos S2: 87.01.7 Version: 18.6 (build 96.0-79160)The settings are:Alexa Wake Word Bluetooth Idle Auto-Discount Battery Saver WiFi Power SaveI have been able to lock the above settings using my Android TabletAndroid:16 Sonos S2: 87.01.8 Version: 96.0-7960Ironically when doing so on my Android Tablet they appear as set on my iPhone. Incidentally, the Alexa Wake Word works as well.There is definitely an issue with Sonos running in iOS at least in my region. Another member in the UK indicated that their settings were working in iOS; although I don’t know which version.I have submitted Sonos diagnostics for iOS and Android 

Hi Sonos Team and Community,I would love to submit a feature request to improve the user experience and UI of the Sonos app when browsing external music sources (like a local music library on your NAS).Currently, when you search or browse by Album, the app only displays the Album Title in the list. It would be incredibly helpful and much more intuitive if the Artist Name was displayed directly underneath the Album Title.When you have a large music library or are looking for specific albums, seeing just the album name makes it hard to distinguish between them at a glance (especially for self-titled albums or common album names). Adding the artist name would allow users to find the correct album instantly without having to click on it first.Please upvote or comment if you agree and would like to see this visual improvement in a future update!

Sonos app seems to operates independently on my iPad and iPhone. Not long ago they operated as one device seemlessly!

I updated my SONOS App on Wednesday.  It had obliterate my library. Here is the version I am running. Sonos OS: S2Version: 17.2.6 (build 86878270) I have tried re-adding and now get permission errors.  I had this same issue on February and spent hours on phone with SONOS support.  I ended up resolving issue on my own. I ma not having any luck this time.   Has anyone else experienced issues and what is resolution to correct permissions.  I have checked permissions and administrator, and everyone to set to Read/Write.  Sonos is added under Local Network with full disk access.   

Hello SONOS-USERS,I tried a few things today to get Sonos to accept the music library from my Samba share without aborting after a short time with an error stating that the share is no longer available.

Hi everyone,I’d like to introduce KlingKlang, an independent Sonos controller I’ve been developing and have recently released for Android (iOS and MacOS coming soon!)The project started because I wanted a simpler way to control my own Sonos system: all rooms visible on one screen, quick grouping and straightforward volume control, without having to move through multiple screens.KlingKlang communicates directly with the Sonos speakers on the local network. There is no KlingKlang account, no subscription, no advertising and no KlingKlang cloud backend.Some of the things currently supported: All rooms and currently playing music on one screen Grouping and ungrouping of rooms, including group-all Group volume and individual volume control for every speaker Playback controls from the Android lock screen and notifications Browsing and playing music from a NAS or home music library Access to configured streaming services, radio, Sonos favourites and playlists Line-in playback to o

Hello, I appreciate that similar topics to this have been listed, but none seem to cover my experiences. An album recently downloaded (with iTunes) was Madonna’s Confessions II_Afterhours edition. It contains 16 tracks on on disc 1 and 6 extras on disc 2. Over the 22 tracks, 15 are solely by Madonna and 7 with different collobrating artists.Within Sonos when I search by artist Madonna, then select confession II album, just the 15 Madonna only tracks are listed.  The other tracks are separetely listed us Madonna plus the collobrating artist. Similarly when I search by albums there are seven listings for that album.  Looking at the properties in itunes there are fields “Album Artist” which in all cases was Madonna, & “artist” which is Madonna plus the collobrating artist. This data is seen using windows file explorer as Album artist (Madonna) & Contributing … (Madonna plus collorating artist). Within Sonos the data in the artist field is Madonna plus collobrating artist. There is

Anyone have any insight?

Here’s a strange one that has got me puzzled.I had a Stevie Wonder album on my NAS but when I went to play it the other day there was only 1 track showing, but listed 3 times.I deleted it from the NAS and re ripped it no problem but when I went to play it, it was still 1 track 3 times. I have even tried deleting it and updating the library via SonoPad app as the Sonos one seems not to work, and then ripping it again.Anything obvious going on please?

I’ve kind of given up but in one last ditch attempt to nail this I’m going to describe my problem and see if i’m missing something stupid.So trying to add a Music Library to SONOS using the Android App (S2 - Build 88.00.43)The library lives on an Asustor AS5202T NAS driveIt’s in a public share //AS5202T-852D/Public/Music with login and passwordI can access the share from my laptop. I can also access it on the Android Phone using “My Files” and selecting Network Storage, picking it from available Network drives and entering the login/password credsThe Android phone is on the same network as the NAS (hence why it can see the share in “My Files”When I try and add the folder on the app i get an error that the share is no longer available.I’ve tried with the share name and with the IP, same issue for both. Triple tripe checked login and password are correct and re-validated that by disconnecting my PC connection and re-authenticating with the same creds and they work. I’ve configured the NA
