Controllers and Music services

So just got the Sonos Era 300 and installed the Windows app.Aside from the fact that the Bose app is definitely better, I don't like Sonos collecting my usage data.So I tried turning it off:Open the settings Go to Additional Usage Data Uncheck the checkboxBut there's no save or apply button. So next time I open the settings, it's still checked.I don't think this is legal, and I already find it very dodgy that it's set to enabled by default.Any way to turn this off?

HiI have spotify duo and want to play at home, but at the same time my wife on spotify app (android)when out . It always cuts out. How do I register two (duo) spotify accounts on the songs?Please adviseThanksSteve

Every time I try to access the System option in settings, the app just closes.This started happening a couple of weeks ago.App is version 14.20.1Build 70436090Phone is  Google Pixel 3 on Android 12I’ve restarted the phone but it didn’t help. I haven’t yet re-installed the app. 

I think I must be being thick… but how do I play BBC sounds output from history, ie any BBC Sounds material other than live radio?  It’s trivial on the web - you just pick what you want from the schedule - but I can’t find the schedule in any of my Sonos apps.Please point out where I’m being stupid, please.

Hi,I was at my friends house and connected to her system. When I returned home and put on music from spotify it started playing in her house over 200km away.  this has also happened in my house once when my friend from another side of town tried playing from her spotify at home. how is this possible since they were not in the same wifi? 

My S2 app on Mac OS locked up do I deleted it planning on to reload the aoo.  Where is the app available for download?

Hi Folks 👋I’ve been able to add Spotify and my personal YouTube Music account as a Sonos Service just fine.However, when I try to add a YouTube Music “Brand (limited to YouTube)” account, I get the attached “Access Blocked: Authorization Error” message.I noticed that this only happens when it’s a “Brand (limited to YouTube)” account, but a regular “Brand” account or a regular personal account, I am able to connect as a “Service” just fine.  Please see the attached screenshot of the different types of “Brand” accounts.Is this a bug or is it an intended behavior?  Or is there a work around to this issue?Thank you for your time 🙏  Error Message

When - a few times per week - Sonos produces zero search results I restart the Sonos app (iPhone) and then it works again. Been like that for a couple of years I guess. No big problem… Is it just … streaming life?

I have been having issues with the S2 app for over a year now.  It’s intermittent.  It happens on both my iPhone and my wife’s - connected to same sonos system. The issue is on speaker list - if I scroll to bottom of rooms then it jumps to top.  The same issue is seen on system information screen - same thing but you can see the data flickering.  It also happens if you search for song and expand Spotify list - it jumps back a screen. I have tried resetting app, reinstalling etc.  it happens more often than not.  Anyone got any ideas?

How do I get added as a user on my boyfriend’s Sono account? 

Like a lot of people, it seems, I have this problem. It’s been going on for a long time and I keep thinking it’ll get fixed but doesn’t. I read an extremely long thread on it (Sonos no longer recognizing folder.jpg for cover art?) in which replies ended many months ago and there seems to have been no resolution. What is the status?My music library is on a Synology NAS with SMB2 min, SMB3 max. I have a mix of MP3s with embedded art (600x600) and WMAs with a folder.jpg in the containing folder. The issues are not unique to either type; both types fail to display properly at random times. I always play large WPL imported playlists. I frequently update these playlists with manually shuffled versions (I did not feel that Sonos’ shuffle was random enough so I shuffle the playlists myself). My library auto-updates at 4am daily.  I’ve spent (and continue to spend) a great deal of time curating my library with tags and cover art and it is constantly irritating to see the art no

Play 1 (stereo pair) + Play 3 been running well for years. Controlled bi iPad app. Music source is also on iPad. No connection or network changes but recently Sonos system is “not recognised” by the app even if the system is actually playing! Running the Fix prompts eventually finds that the system was there all the time. Getting very fed up with this.

I see messages saying that Apple have fixed this…. Well not in my house they haven’t, so I’ve got three pairs of Sonos speakers, that won’t talk to my iMac, my iPhone or my iPad. again. 😡

This problem has been around for over two years! I haven’t seen it in a while but suddenly it came back like a bad cold. a full reset of my 4 zone system did not fix it. Sonos products are basically overpriced and with that comes an understanding that they’re worth it. Little annoying issues like this erode our confidence in the product 

I’ve seen this question asked before but no real answers have been provided, at least that I have seen.  What is the fix for this issue?

Hi all,I have 6 Sonos devices around my home and all have worked fine for a long time.I just got home after a trip and seem to have a glitch with my Sonos Play:5 (Gen 2).Cannot connect to the speaker from within Spotify app. It times out. Intermittently cannot play via the Sonos app and get a variety of error messages like “cannot queue item to the device” or “cannot connect to device”It will play from other sources (Sonos Radio / TuneIn)The device is updated. I have powered the device down, reset it to factory settings, reauthorised Sonos in my Spotify account. Nothing has fixed it so far.Any ideas?thanks so much,Maya 

I’ve a paid subscription of Amazon Music in Portugal, but as it seems, the Sonos integration is not yet available. Any idea why? Copyright issues? Or it’s just hard for Sonos to sync up with the service availability? This is the current Amazon Music availability:https://music.amazon.com/EU/help?nodeId=202204440 And this is Sonos:https://support.sonos.com/en/services/amazon-music Com’on Sonos team… I’ve preordered the ERA 300 and want to use ATMOS on Amazon Music. Using Airplay will just downgrade the quality…   

Hi guys,Although I have a subscription of Amazon Music service, I don’t seem to be able to integrate it on my sonos app.That makes me feel a bit uncomfortable since I’ve pre-ordered the ERA 300 and I’m hoping to have services that support ATMOS and Spatial audio from Day 1.Also, the question is when will you expand the integration on the sonos app and if I can use airplay (using the amazon music app directly) to stream atmos on Era 300.Thanks in advance,Jose

On all iPhones and iPads in household, we have been getting error message “unable to play…connection to Spotify was lost.” All reboots reinstalls etc etc not working. Other music/podcast sources working fine.Various searches show it is a frequent issue…what is Spotify doing about it? So frustrating!Filled the house with expensive Sonos speakers that won’t play music. Kinda want to go back to CDs.

Hi,I’m use Sonos s2 on Apple iMac. Between few days I can not longer drag and drop my Amazon playlist in Sonos app. Did somebody can help me ?

My Sonos system refuses to add spotify play lists to queue.  Sono’s blames spotify, spotify blames Sonos.  They both blame network.   Has anyone been succesfull with Sono’s playing shared spotify playlists that are over 2000 songs?

I want to load a You Tube music video on my iPhone and play the audio through my Sonos sound bar (not the official YouTube Music app). Can it be done?

I have some play lists that I use often and would like to just have those play lists play one after another, but I don’t know how to do that or if it is even possible.Anyone know how to do that?Thanks

I keep getting a message when listening to BBC radio saying that I’ll no longer be able to use the BBC sounds service on a smart speaker after mid 2023. It says to contact the manufacturer to resolve the issue. Anyone found a way to keep listening on a Sonos speaker?

Bonjour, depuis quelques jour je ne peux plus faire glisser mes playlist Amazon dans l’application Sonos. comment cela ce fait ?
