Solved: Skipping Apple Music songs on playlists

Like many, I have been experiencing Apple Music songs skipping in my playlists, one of the many delights of the new app. Many songs were greyed out in the playlists and did not play. I don’t know if this will apply to anyone else, but I found a solution that works for my system.I remembered that for some reason I had four separate Apple Music systems showing up as “connected accounts” in Service Settings -- even though they all connect to the same Apple Music account, same login and password. (No idea how that happened, but that had been the case for many years. It had never caused an issue until recently.)I tried to delete all Apple Music systems except my Primary Account. The app did not allow that (why? who knows!).So I reauthorized each of them, keeping only one as my primary account.That has solved the issue with my playlists - all my Apple songs now play!Note, I previously tried rebooting all my speakers, router, deleting and reinstalling the app, etc, with no joy. TLDR: If you a

Feature Requests: Audio Normalization / SONOS App

When will Sonos finally introduce a volume equalizer so that a uniform volume is always guaranteed, even when the song is changed?Like with Spotify: Audio normalization balances out quiet and loud songs for a more consistent listening experience.

Latest Sonos App wont connect to my system

The latest update of the app 80.09.08 which came out at the end of September is completely useless.  Everytime I open the app I get a screen saying No Products found.  I simply can no longer use my Sonos system. This is an absolute disgrace - why cant your development team thoroughly test app updates before you make them live.  The update before worked perfectly well and was a big improvement.

sonos app is still very broken

Probably this is now old news but Sonos please fix bug issues once and for all. I have 17 speakers connected and when it’s not one thing is the other.  App is completely unreliable with volume sometimes not responding, speakers disconnecting, rooms disappearing and speakers even made a loud sound. I have no issues with internet connecting both wired or wifi. The app seems at times it has a mind of its own. I’ve spend thousands on your excellent hardware only to be let down by the driver.

Airplay

Airplay on my Apple 15 will play for one song then cut out. I uncheck the speaker and recheck it and it will go for another song than cut out again.The odd part is that when you look at it in airplay it looks like its playing (eq bars going up and down)I’m only running one speaker but this happens though Apple Music, Sirius, and especially my music library.

IOS App has become unstable

I changed to the new App in my iPhone and since I have, it has become unusable. It is so unstable forever crashing, one minute OK then can’t connect to my music library saying something went wrong then the next try it does, or saying it can’t find my system or no products found and then randomly going back to the home page.I NEVER had an issue with the old app, it was stable solid worked every time. I have tried re-setting, I have deleted and re-loaded the app, I have also re-booted my router but nothing works. Even as I am typing this, the app on my phone keeps flicking in and out, one second connected, the next not with products not found.This has been an absolute disaster and when I try and go back to the S1 app it will not allow me to.What I cannot understand is that the app on my Windows 10 laptop works a treat, connects immediately to my system, and my library on my NAS and just works.Sonos were/are meant to be one of, if not the best in this game, but with this they have become

YouTube music skips certain artists

I have tried removing YouTube music (premium) from my Sonos system and resetting the app, but this problem keeps happening. Specific songs just won’t play, and are skipped when in playlists.  For example, I cannot seem to play any songs by CHVRCHES or Years and Years. If I start artist radio, for CHVRCHES for example, it will play other artists such as Haim.  These artists play fine if I use AirPlay from the YouTube music app as a workaround, but I’d like to know if there is a fix for the Sonos app?

Error 913 on a MAC

A problem with the last update, lost my music library (error code 913) using a MAC computer. I have read the posts from other users in the community and tried multiple work arounds. I called Sonos support, waited for an hour. The tech took control of my computer and could not fix the issue. I was told by Sonos tech support to call Apple to help fix my issue that Sonos created.  That was my tech support experience. I did get a case number with no solution. When is Sonos app update that is going to fix this issue be announced? When is the company going to address the issue and give updates to the solution?

Sonos alarms | Spotify playlists

I use Spotify playlists as my alarm music instead default Sonos Chime. My issue is, Alarm plays the same music from the playlist in list order.  I don’t have any option to shuffle it. Is there a way to achieve this ?

Move stuttering on Airplay odd solution

Here’s a weird one.I have a variety of Sonos speakers and other Airplay 2 devices. I generally play to my speakers via Airplay 2 using iPhones, iPad, Macs, or AppleTVs. All is well, even with the vilified new Sonos app.Except…Airplay playback from Apple Music or Radio Paradise to my Sonos Move stuttered. Unlistenable, and only to the Move. Curiously, Sonos Music via the Sonos app was fine. This perhaps because of the Sonos wireless backchannel?So, in a fit of system-beating pique, I added Apple Music and Radio Paradise as connected services within the Sonos app. They both play fine if used from within the Sonos app. Hmm. Gets better. After playing Apple Music thru Sonos app, I can return to the Apple Music app and play directly and flawlessly from there.The playback remains fine until the speaker turns itself off. After restart, the stuttering returns, but a quick play thru the Sonos app restores things. Any ideas what’s happening?

Sonos forcing update

Just tried to use my system through voice and nothing would work. So, I opened the app (last Android version of the old app) and it won't allow me to do anything until I upgrade to their new app.I guess that means they've fixed everything, riiiight?!?! 🙄

Is the Android S2 app working now?

I’ve had to uninstall the S2 app on my 2021 Motorola G phone as it just didnt work. This was a few months ago. I was thinking, ok Sonos developers screwed it up a bit, I’ll wait and try in a year. So should I try and see if it works now? Have they fixed it? Your thoughts?
