Sound Phone app works! Alternative app!

I downloaded the Sound Phone app for $3.99 from the Apple App Store for iPhone.  $3.99 is small ransom to pay after Sonos has held my equipment and music hostage since their disaster release from early May 2024.  IT WORKS!  Sound Phone instantly recognized my Sonos Amps, speakers, and all of my music sources.  The volume latency issues are resolved.  The app is stable.  Imagine, consistent streaming!  I can’t guarantee it will work for you, but the developer of Sound Phone is a hero to me!

My Sonos system is developing a mind of its own

I have a number of Sonos speakers all running S2 and on the whole they work great, but recently I've been experiencing a few annoying quirks. I should say I have a One connected to my router and then everything running from there.I used to have a One in my office and another in my extension. I moved the extension One into my office and set it up as a stereo pair, and now have an Era 1 in the extension.However, every now and again (maybe every month or so), the Office pair randomly renames itself to Extension. So I end up with 2 speakers both called Extension. So I can go in the app and rename the office one back again and it does work from there. I did try unpairing, then renaming the two Ones to be Office Left and Office Right, then recreating the stereo pair and calling it Office again. But even so it will just occasionally rename itself. The other day I started some music on it, then a minute or so later asked it to turn the volume down in the office and I got an angry clunk. Looked

The "I can't add my Ikea Symfonisk since the new app was released" thread

It seems like it's time to try to collect at much info as possible on not being able to add  Ikea symphonisk’s since the last update.In my case, I bought some Symphonisk picture frames. Via ethernet and or wifi, you can get to the very last step, verify audio pin and then you are told that there was an issue adding the product to your system no matter what route you take, manual pin verification, audio pin verification, same outcome. For science I returned the first set and got another set. Same exact issue. For science one more time, I returned those and tried it again, same exact issue.  I was able to successfully add a sub mini which is great, but pointless at this point. This was attempted with both an ios and and an android device on the latest release for both platforms. Attempting to use the 16.1 app on android to try to add these speakers does not work either. Not because it doesn’t work but because the app refuses to let you add anything IF you are not running the latest app.

So Sonos - What Happened?

So, at what point do Sonos come clean and at least be transparent about what is causing the bulk of the connectivity issues? Surely after 3 months you must have a good idea, because if you don’t that’s even worse news. The reason I ask is, if there is any common thread that users could look into to help themselves, it might be useful information. If it can only be fixed in the Sonos code, fine, but an explanation of what’s gone wrong, why and then when you expect it to be mostly fixed would still help enormously. Technical silence, spin and empty promises are not the way to earn back the trust of your user base.

Music library has disappeared

I’ve been very unhappy with the new app from the start. And now, after a forced update of my Sonos Beam just now, my music library (1,500 cd’s painstakingly converted to ALAC) has completely disappeared. Come on Sonos, are you deliberately trying to alienate your original user base? WTF!

New Sonos App can't connect to OneDrive

I’ve had my Sonos system connected to my 2TB music library via OneDrive for years. With the new app, I can no longer connect OneDrive. I’ve been using this setup: OneDrive for Sonos (michaeldick.me) which no longer works. Is there an ETA on when this will be resolved? It is bad enough I can’t create playlists which I use to sleep and haven’t slept well since the new app came out but now I don’t have access to any of my unique music that isn’t available anywhere but on my OneDrive.When will this app be fixed and work as well as the previous app?

Sonos app problems - sign-in loop & my music library still not accessible

I’ve waited since the beginning of May for this to be sorted.  Is it just a problem that is peculiar to me?I have used Sonos for many years and had only a few problems (all sorted) before May.I rarely stream from Radio etc but e.g. Radio Paradise works fine.What still does not work is accessing the music on my PC via the app (Android).  Again I had few problems before May.I constantly get “Sign in as the System Owner” even when I have done so.My computer frequently disappears from Music Source (Windows Media PC).  When I add it again I still can’t play music from the app.So if anyone PLEASE can help me I would be most grateful.  Is this a problem with my set-up (I reiterate it worked fine pre-May) or have Sonos not yet sorted it.Thanks in advance for any help

Dolby Atmos not exactly gapless

 With either Apple Music or Amazon Music Unlimited I do not get perfect gapless playback.  I say not perfect because there is not an actual gap instead there is something I would define as a “bump in the road”.  Although this happens at every track change it is most apparent when the track change is during a loud passage. Looks like I can’t attach a video to demonstrate the issue.  So if someone with the system Arc-Sub-ERA 300s could try the above example and report back I would love to hear what you hear. Try this link though.https://photos.onedrive.com/share/F9ECAB971E7E522D!1647?cid=F9ECAB971E7E522D&resId=F9ECAB971E7E522D!1647&authkey=!AOzf9ZCR57vHnbI&ithint=video&e=XTvtSS

Amazon Music playlist context menu blank

 This is the context menu when I hold down on an Amazon Music playlist.  Why would this be?  After trying it a few times it finally showed the expected menu options.

Sonos competitors for professional luxury systems integrators

As a LONG time Sonos Dealer and a Luxury Residential Systems Integrator, I never even ONCE considered ANY Sonos competitors as a legitimate alternative, for myself, or for ALL my clients. Since the new app update this May, I’ve now been considering specifying ANYTHING BUT Sonos for all my ongoing projects. Any integrators out there with great feedback for Yamaha’s Musicast or Harmon’s Denon Heos? Is Bose even poised to strike with Sonos’s recent MASSIVE BLUNDER?

Amazn Music Playlist size

I have a playlst on Amazon Music which has 538 aongs. The playlist works through the Amazon Music app but when playing through Sonos it does not play the last 38. I am aware Amazon used to have a limit of 500 songs but this is now set at 2,500, can the Sonos app not handle this yet?

Sonos app update disaster recovery game plan

When is Sonos going to fix the mess it has created with its latest app update? The inventory of its shortcomings likely outrun the space provided here, but a couple of key cockups are:•it cannot find any of the playlists I trusted it to store for me over the past five years;•it offers no way to create new playlists;•it offers no way to save queues to make new playlists, although at this point the thought of investing time to create a new playlist that likely will be lost is too frustrating to contemplate.So far customer service to deal with the app ineptitude has amounted to promises of patchwork fixes somewhere in the future. What are we to do in the meantime? Hope that the same team responsible for the original mess will come up with a solution? That is extremely unlikely. The best gauge of future actions is past actions.Also extremely unlikely: continued use of Sonos equipment or its system.

Getting a playlist off a Sonos Connect

At my previous home I had all Sonos Connects and spent years building a large playlist.  We bought a new house, but set it up with all new Sonos Amps, etc.  I brought a few of the Sonos Connects from the old home, but I’m scared to hook it up to my new system because I fear it will reinitialize and erase everything on the Connect.  What’s the best way to get my playlist off of the old Connect and onto my new system?

New Sonos App

Dear Sonos, may I suggest you relaunch the s2 app immediately to allow us users to enjoy the Sonos systems we have all invested in. Currently the updated Sonos app is so bad & non user friendly it should have never been launched to market 🤷‍♂️
