Missing tracks from Apple Music

See Diagnostic 438829679. One track is missing from an album that is visible on Apple Music. Re-scanning library does not address the issues.

YouTube Music stops playing tracks right around 11:30 minutes

I listen to music with long songs and have noticed that Youtube music cuts out and stops playing tracks right around 11:30 minutes.  It then skips to the next track.  The error message is the dreaded “ the song is not encoded correctly.”This hadn’t been happening for a while, but started up a couple of days ago.  The same song streams from my laptop with no problem.I know that there are a lot of issues with Youtube music, but this one is becoming a showstopper.Diagnostic: 767899802Also, please, please, please, do not tell me that the problem is my wifi or internet connection.  It is not.  This literally only happens when I stream Youtube music through Sonos.  Other services through Sonos are fine, and streaming directly through Youtube music via web browser is also fine.

Youtube top songs not an option

In Sonos I regularly search for an artist to look at their top songs. In Google play this was easy. Now this has been replaced by YouTube Music Top Songs is no longer an option in Sonos. It is an option in the YouTube music app so this is only a problem thru the Sonos app. Can this be added to the Sonos app?

Playlist import

So I have moved everything off of GPM and onto a NAS. I am now trying to figure out how to import the playlists. I've tried Soundiiz but the file types for exporting playlists doesn't match the file types Sonos supports. Any other options out there? Thanks

Cant play DLNA / Network folder Library - Error 701

Hi AllFirst post here, and I thought I would try here before o contact Sonos Support directly.I've been using a Sonos System for 6 years without issue, but today I've tried to play some music from my NAS via DLNA, and I'm getting error 701, can't add to queue. Research tells me it's a comms issue, so I've rebooted my Router and one speaker to try and resolve, but to no avail.DLNA Media Server is enabled my NAS, media server and upnp is enabled on the Sonos App. I can search my music via the App, and I know its correctly searching, as I change the content directory on my DLNA Media Server on my NAS to a single folder, and I can find and search that folder in the App, so I know its working between my App and my NAS.My system details are below.Does anyone has any suggestions?I've even tried adding a Media Library via a Folder Share, but when I set the network path and user name and password, it tells me the first folder in the path there is no share??I've never had this is issue before st

Entire music library vanished from SONOS

Hi, I’ve been experiencing a number of issues with my Sonos system recently, namely, speakers disappearing from the app mid song, including paired speakers; then today my entire music library has inexplicably vanished from Sonos.  I’ve made sure that all apps are updated and running the same software and ensured that my Mac is up to date and nothing……To be honest, I'm getting rather sick and tired of all the issues with Sonos, I just want to be able to play music, but seemingly every time I try there is yet another issue.Any advice gratefully received.

Stream interrupts after exactly 22 min

When streaming podcasts (doesn’t matter which podcast) through my different Sonos devices, they always interrupt after 22 min and jumps to the previous podcast episode. It is extremely irritating and I have no clue what causes it. I have restarted my router, updated firmware on the router, restarted all Sonos devices, updated the app etc. but nothing helps. Any ideas out there?

I need help with Sonos S2 settings for my Music Library on a Mac

I decided to do a clean install of Big Sur on my iMac.  In doing the install I erased both the system volume and the data volume.  After the clean install, I installed the the Sonos S2 app.  I have FLAC music stored on my iMac in the Documents folder.  I know what has to be done to have Sonos recognize the path to my music.In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy I put the Sonos app in Accessibility and in Full Disk Access.  However, the SonosLibraryServer does not appear when I try to find it to add it to Full Disk Access.  What’s strange is that a search on my computer doesn’t find it either.  Can someone tell me how to add it to Full Disk Access?All of my FLAC music files are in a folder called FLAC Music. I know that I have to grant Sonos Read & Write permissions.  However, Sonos is not appearing under Permissions.  Can someone tell me how to have it appear?  Thanks.

Pocketcasts - can't play

In the last couple of days, I have had problems playing any Pocketcasts episodes on my Sonos speakers.  I have tried multiple speakers and all of them get an “Error adding songs to the queue”.  All speakers can play other content, like Spotify.  Is this an overall Sonos/Pocketcasts issue?

Alarm set for Radio station

I want to set my alarm to tune into "Fréquence 3 Gold" from Paris France but can not find it when browsing in Alarm setting. Too many stations. I know it's there because I searched and found it and can play it so I know it works but the alarm manual search requires you to know the exact location of the station.

"Updating music library" taking forever, mostly hangs.

I am on MacOS Catalina, and successfully changed my disk access settings per another thread, so that the below have full disk access:SonosLibraryServerSonosI indexed successfully a few times after that after adding a few albums, but today going to update the library again after only adding 1 or two albums, the Sonos desktop app hangs forever, spinning wheel, and then I have to force quit it. I let it try for over an hour this time.I have a large library: 43766 items, 688.58GB, but the support page says: "Depending on the size of your library, the music index may take several minutes to update."Have I exceeded the size that puts me into the “several minutes” category and bumps me to the “several hours” or “several hours and then will crash” territory? :)Again, I have updated the library recently a few times and this does not happen. (granted it takes way longer than “several minutes.”)Not sure if a diagnostic code reveals anything library related, but here it is anyway: 269838512.

Beam Plays Randomly from my Home NAS Library

Started today - my Beam has 4 or 5 times today played at random times, music from my NAS library, un-asked for and no activity being done at the time to cause this. Only thing that’s changed today is that I’ve installed a pair of HomePod minis.  WiFi not hacked, no Spotify account, but then the music is not from Spotify, but from my NAS. Submitted diagnostics - 169376155 Hope to get to the bottom of this before sacking off the Beam.
