Controllers and Music services

Hi , i’d like to know please when trueplay will be supported on ipad pro 12.9 5th gen latest iOS 15.6? I used my old ipad (no longer have) for trueplay setup on multiple Sonos products i own e.g. arc/playbar/subs/ones etc. just updated all to firmware 14.12 and now need to redo trueplay - the sonos app just confirmed that trueplay not supported and i’m now stuck. I would appreciate letting me know. I have already looked at the usual sonos help pages. thanks.

Like many other users it seems that when I choose to shuffle my large Amazon Music playlist I get a tiny percentage of tedious that state with numerals, a, or b.  I've seen responses that say to add your track to individual playlist, and then merge those playlists into one large playlist, but that is a horrible solution. You have to choose each track individually. I have thousands upon thousands of tracks in my library and that would take hours in the process would have to be repeated every time you add more music to your Amazon library.Is there a real solution forthcoming for this issue? It doesn't seem to be just Amazon music, every provider seems to be prevented from shuffling, the playlist and a reasonable way.I've yet to see a comment from Sonos that explains how they're going to resolve this issue and when. Is there any help out there?Thanks,-Shannon        

My playlist are all grey out. Tried everything to get them back , ideas please. 

Not all tracks in my PLEX music library appear when using the SONOS controller. It is like the SONOS app is stuck on an earlier (un-updated) version of library.  I have tried removing and re-adding PLEX with no result.  Some of the missing tracks have been initially drawn from TIDAL, but this does not appear to be a consistent explanation.The connection with the PLEX server can also be a very random affair, but that’s another story. 

Since updating the app I am no longer able to play Apple Music playlists through the Sonos App. Is anyone else having the same issue? I have removed Apple Music from the app and waited 10mins before reauthorising and still it’s not working. Is this an outage on Apple side or a problem with the recent Sonos app update?Thanks, 

Hi,A week ago I started to experience some strange behavior from Sonos volume control in the controller app. When I want to control the volume of one of the devices, occasionally that possibility is frozen/shaded and I cannot control the volume. If I increase or decrease the volume for the group, then the volume of the frozen device is also increased/decreased.I tried to remove the devices from the party mode and then connect them again, but then the volume of the Sonos device, to which I connect others, cannot be controlled (frozen/shaded).Anyone experience the same issue or had a same issue and managed to solve it? Willing to share the solution?I run the group of Sonos One (Gen 2) speakers and one Sonos Move.Thank you and best regards.   

Hello everyone in this community.I have uploaded several flac ripped discs to my iBroadcast account but when I play them from the SONOS app, it always gives me the message ['Song Name' could not be played, the song was not encoded correctly]. On the other hand, if I play those same Flac files from the iBroadcast application or I upload them to the Plex server that I have on my local network, then they reproduce without any problem.Anybody knows about this, I have to solve it because I still have some old speakers without airplay and I have no choice but to use the SONOS application with these speakers.

I recently had to change one of the drives on my NAS and ever since my Sonos app on my iPhone and Windows 11 laptop return access denied error messages when trying to run music from my iTunes library. Any ideas?

My Sonos 1 has been unstable since my internet modem has recently changed to a pure fibre wifi hub.  Very often I can’t access music folder, no Sonos Radio, cannot find Sonos 1 error.  I have unplugged hub, turned Sonos on/off, restarting computer each time one of these errors occurred. I have removed and added music folder a few times to get music folder worked until tonight I am seeing this error message “Sonos was unable to add the music folder. Connection is blocked by your computer firewall options.” I checked firewall and Sonos is in enabled to received incoming connections. Restarted computer [imac] a few times and the error persists. Has this got to do with the IP address since the new hub. Any solution or do I have to call tech support? 

There have been various messages about problems accessing music libraries on macOS Monterey. I had the same problem but have managed to get it working again.The problem on my system was linked to the way the library is indexed on macOS by a daemon that is installed by the macOS Sonos App when you use Preferences to setup a shared folder. The daemon in installed here /Library/Application Support/Sonos/SonosLibraryServer. The bug comes from the SonosLibraryServer not having permission to scan the disk. You need to add it using System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy(tab) → Full Disk Access.It's possible that a new install of the Sonos App will handle this correctly, but I already had Sonos App installed from a previous macOS version.After giving this permission, the music library is indexed as normal and can be played across the system. This SonosLibraryServer also seems to handle the file sharing aspects too, making a specific definition for the music library unnecessary i

Hi @Corry P,I've just noticed that the issue discussed in the thread below has been solved. I don't know exactly when, as I was travelling these last weeks.But, the fix seems to have generated another bug:Now it's the opposite: when playing a non-Atmos song after an Atmos one, the volume becomes very much louder. If you pause this loud song and then resumes playing it, the volume returns to its normal level. Additionally, in general, all songs appear to play in a lower volume than before. When listening to my Play:1 in another room, I don't have any of these issues. When listening to sources other than Amazon Music, I also don't have any issues.My setup is a Beam Gen 2 with a pair of Symfonisk bookshelf speakers as surround, no Sub.Could you let the team that worked on this fix know, please?c.c @Mr. T , @Jimmy C 

After reading many similar complaints, I understood Sonos considers it is up to YT to fix the issue. I do not agree because I chose Sonos because it is YT compatible. If it is not compatible, Sonos is lying when they say they include the YouTube Service. For my part, most of my playlists have missing songs, and some even have all the songs unavailabe!I am very disappointed because the devices are very good, and the app is also nice. 

Hi, Is anyone else experiencing problems with PocketCasts this morning. It’s no longer browsing to the Podcasts linked to my account. Sonos Service status is showing that it should be working?

Hi,really annoying problem and I hope someone can help out… thanks in advance…I play music via an Alexa routine in my kitchen Play5 each morning some mornings I commute to London and want to listen to a podcast When I open my Spotify app (on the train) I see “kitchen” as the device and the current music playing there i want to leave that music playing but listen to a podcast on my phone how do I do that? if I select phone as the device then the music stops playing in the kitchen and plays on the phone. So my wife at home suddenly stops listening to music if I switch to the podcast first then that comes through the kitchen and when I switch devices to my phone I am fine but, again, no music in the kitchen i have a Spotify family account and Spotify on Sonos is using a different account to the one on my phone i never control Sonos from the Spotify app so happy to completely disconnect Sonos devices from the app on my phoneamy help to this really annoying feature much appreciated. ​​​​​​​

I often get my Apple Music App stop for no reason at every 7 or 8 songs BUT, it only does it only on my iPad and not on my iPhone. Both are on the same wifi, high speed optic fibre with Sonos Boost. Here is the diagnostic reference. 1876886745 

Hi,When I start streaming music from Spotify and the speakers are idle, the speakers are always muted. The volume is the same as previous time, but muted.Then I have to open the app to unmute the speakers.Is there a solution?Thanks

Hi, I have just installed Sonos five through wifi and other music services seem to work, but I cannot add Spotify. I can’t even find the service in the sonos app. How come? Spotify is available in Finland.I find my Sonos in the spotify app but I cannot connect to it. Please help! :) 

Hi,I am trying to add a music library from a USB hard drive connected to my Router but have had no success. I would like to play music from my library without leaving my PC on all of the time.I have a TP Link AX55 Router. My PC is running Windows 10 Pro. My Sonos system is running the S2 app. I have mapped the hard drive as a network drive and it shows in Windows Explorer as G (\\TPShared) (G:). I am able to browse the drive and copy files in and out through Windows Explorer.I have searched through previous posts but still don’t know if it can be done or not. Am I correct in assuming that because I am using the S2 app, it uses SMB v2 which Sonos doesn’t support yet?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

A continuation of this thread. Now, even when I manually update, it won’t play music. The controller shows all albums and songs, and also album art - so clearly it’s pushing/pulling info to and from wherever. But it tells me it’s “Unable to connect” to the server address.Every device on the network - Windows and Android - can connect to the device where the Library is stored. Sonos says it is able to add the Library at that address (and again, it sees songs and artwork).I’m so, so tired.

TuneIn is no longer available on Sonos.  Only Sonos Radio and Spotify.  No longer can I use my Sonos to listen to my favorite local and regional radio stations.  It’s a good thing I still have my Bose Radio.  And my Sonos will end up on the closet shelf, unused.  Maybe I can sell it on ebay.

I have been using Sirius on my Sonos for almost 2 years. I recently moved and went back in to connect and I get the message “Account not found” when I try to login to the app on Sonos. I can login with internet and both vehicles are fine.

Today my S1 system said it could not access the library which is on my ASUS NAS. Support documents said to remove the library and re add. I removed the library but now cannot add it again. I’ve tried from my windows pc and also from my ipad. I get errors about serverstack which surely cannot be correct using an ipad.When trying to add the library sonos will drill down to the folder without problem so there is a connection to the nas.I should add my nas did an ADM update in the last day or twoThank you

Hi, I need some help on this one. I can’t connect to Apple Music with my sonos system anymore. I am basically asked to reauthorize again and again Apple Music for Sonos, but never worked. No possibility to play any title and no access to my library. Checking Apple music third-party app with authorization, Sonos S2 does not appear. I do the basic process as usual when adding a music service. This worked before. Don’t know where the issue comes from. Any idea ? Note: My apple music is a student one. Are you aware about any compatibility restriction with sonos ? 

here is my confirmation number: 233176857 i click on amazon music and i get this:   

Sonos Roam drops out after 15 mins every time I connect to BBC Sounds via wifi. No problem with connecting to Spotify
