Controllers and Music services

I'm being asked to sign in to manage music even though it's saying I'm signed in?System Been set up brand new for 5years?

If your CR200 controller won’t charge, or appears to only charge intermittently, try the following:With the controller resting in its cradle, select restart from the advanced settings menu.  It will then restart and charge. Well it certainly works for ours.

How come only part of my YouTube songs are shown on Sonos?

My iPhone and iPad apps are inconsistent. They can see the speakers but sometimes, often but not always, can’t see my music library (on a NAS) or stream from on line services. On the home page sometimes my music library is not shown under “Your Sources”; sometimes it is but I can’t then see tracks, albums, artists etc. I can always seem to run the system from my laptop. I have rebooted the router; stopped and restarted the app; made sure everything is up to date.System is as follows:Beam; Play:1; Five; Playbar; 2 Roams; Play 3; and a Boost which is wired in. System ran fine for years and I would guess the problems started a couple of months ago. Help!!!!   

Lots of posts on this but here is what I learned after many hours…The Sonos tech support site is wrong on how to fix this issue.  Their first step tells you to go to Windows support and add a local user account.  Then apply that account to file sharing.  What they fail to say is that when you install Sonos, a local user account named “Sonos Wireless HiFi System” is created.So here is how I solved the issue: Go to your Music folder on your PC  Right click and select properties  Select Sharing tab  Select the share button (NOT advanced sharing as Sonos tells you...) In the blank space next to the greyed out “Add” button, select the down arrow \/ You should then see “Sonos Wireless HiFi System” show up in the box below - click on that and select “add” Select the Share Button at the lower right to complete the process You will then see it take some time to share the folder and it may ask if you want

Hello -Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the the issue where you start an album/stations/playlist from Apple Music and after a random amount of time (sometimes in the first 30 seconds, and other times 5-10 mins), the song stops playing on the speaker(s), but the app shows that the song continues to play (this will continue on forever if I am playing a station). Music doesn’t start again from the speaker(s) until I start a new album/station/playlist.  I’m pretty sure this started with the new app update, but I can’t be totally sure as I do a fair amount of airplay music playing (which seems completely uneffected).  Here are the steps I have done to try and fix/debug this issue:Tried Amazon and TuneIn and both worked fine. Restarted app Tested multiple speakers (grouped and ungrouped) Restarted router/modem Restarted Sonos system Removed and re-installed Sonos app Removed Apple

I own and have SONOS installed on a MacBook Pro 2018.  Like most of us, went through the fiasco last year, and by late last year, THOUGHT things were looking good.  I’ve been trying to keep up with all the updates, and as of this moment, my SONOS system is not showing any new updates are available.   Yesterday, I added a few new songs from iTunes (newly purchased).  They show up, and I can play them from Apple Music.  But because I’ve not updated my music library since the purchase, SONOS can’t yet see them, so I thought I’d update my music library.  When I did, here’s what I saw and still see:When I go to the SONOS “Music Library Settings”, I see the following two locations (plus a third that I think is still working):/Users/macbookpro2018/Music/iTunes.     and/Users/macbookpro2018/Music/Media.localized.While I can’t rem

I used to be able to play music on my Sonos through the Spotify app. A few weeks ago it stopped. Now although all three Sonos speakers appear in the Spotify app, when I try to connect to play music, the icon (bottom left of the screen) blinks for a few seconds and then nothing happens and the music keeps on playing on the device.Playing music in Spotify through the Sonos app works fine.Any ideas on how to fix this? 

I am trying to switch to Spotify from Deezer on Sonos…It keeps telling me to sign out and back in again , which I do but it just keeps repeating this message and I can't access the Manage account or + account to do this..Any clues please ???

I can’t add BBC Sounds to my Sonos Era 100 set. I’ve checked country settings (UK), have updated, reset and restarted app. I can see BBC Sounds in the list, but getting an error message after approving the app on the BBC site. Any tips?! Thanks!

My Sonos music folder is on a NSA310S external hard drive. I have always added CDs by ripping them to iTunes and then copying from the iTunes folder to the NSA310S external hard drive. This had always worked until now.The NSA310S icon has vanished from the bottom left of the file explorer screen where it previously showed up under This PC and Network. At least I believe it has vanished from where it used to be - I was initially worried I had forgotten how to do it!Click on Network and NSA310S shows up under Media Devices. Double click opens to what I assume is the device's IP address - a page titled Twonky with various links to settings etc. Right click gives three options 1. View device webpage (the Twonky page as described above), 2. Create shortcut, 3. Properties - this gives model number, IP address, serial number.If I open This PC NSA310S is there under Network locations. Double click to open and it states This folder is empty.The

I have just reinstalled my sonos system (missed most of the app issues as was in storage) and now have everything back working agian.I had heard the album artwork from music library had returned to the app. Whilst I can see the artwork when I am playing the song/album, I do not see the artwork when I browse through the albums in my library or in the queue. So my question is, is the fix still needing further work and everyone has the same issue, or does everyone else have the artwork in their library seach and queue and not just when they are playing the song?Cheers,Simon

In the iOS Sonos app, I can’t add any folders, playlists, or favorites to the Home screen. The only sections visible on Home are “Recently Played,” “Your Source,” and “Your Service.” Example 1: If I select an MP3 folder from my NAS and choose “Pin Collections to Home,” it shows as pinned, but it doesn’t appear on the Home screen.Example 2: In the YouTube Music service, if I select “Save to Sonos Favorites,” it says it’s saved, but it doesn’t show up on Home. The same issue occurs with Apple Music. Essentially, I’m stuck with just “Recently Played” on Home, with no way to customize it with playlists, favorites, folders, or albums. It’s very, very frustrating. I’m not sure if this is a known issue, but it has persisted for a long time. Details:• App build: 80.14.09 (release 20241209)• Device: iPhone 13 Pro Max

What is being done to fix the glitching, especially the repeated drop in streaming with latest S2 controller?  i have an Era 300 which is “usable” only if one is willing to endure countless drops in streaming.  it’s a joke that an inexpensive bluetooth receiver plugged into a TRS port on my old Play 5 performs flawlessly but the so-called advanced technology of the Era 300/S2 player cannot.  I’m ready to move on from Sonos if they cannot produce equipment that simply works.

Please can someone explain me how the mobile app works (or actually does not work)???Each time I open it, if I want to access some of the settings, I have to login to my Sonos account… So I login… I then have access to some of the settings but for example if I want to add a device, I am asked to login… But I am already login!!!! Then I have a message that I have to login as the owner of the system…I found a “ transfert ownership” feature… I did the process with, at least, two logins involved but still the same nonsense: I cannot access to some settings and I am repeatedly asked to login as the owner of the system!!!Of course when I am logged in either in the app or on the web site… There is no way to register a product or a system.Sound quality of your products are very good but honestly the app the worst I had to experienced in ages.Anyways, if someone is able to tell me how to register my product and/or how to have access to all the app features,

Did the new update change the UI for the app when selecting a music source for a specific room?  

I use a couple Sonos at work, and wanted to check on the volume limit because it felt louder than normal. I cannot find the volume limit or EQ on the Roam??? There is EQ for the Sonos One SL's but no volume limit either?I'll have to check my home system when I get off work. But have anyone else had this issue? 

Please don’t give me BS answer “ oh you can use whatever platform”. I have set my preferred to you tube music and when i say hey sonos play _______ it plays it on Spotify!??? whyyyyyyyy it’s so frustrating. Sonos stop pushing services on me. it’s bad enough i can’t use my own sources lag free but you guys are making me choose a music platform too like c’mon!  

Thought I would post this here in case it helps anyone else.About 4ish months ago my Spotify Connect stopped working suddenly, this is the main way I use my Sonos so this was particularly annoying. I would see my speakers in the Spotify app but when selecting any speaker it would hang for a while then not connect.Steps I tried:Tried a full reboot of my system and reboot of my network Whitelisted the below on my PiHole to rule out any issues there: (.|^)spotify.com$ (.|^)spotifycdn.com$ (.|^)scdn.com$ audio-ak-spotify-com.akamaized.net audio-ake.spotify.com.edgesuite.net Removed Spotify from my Sonos services and then set it up again fresh Reinstalled Spotify apps and logged in fresh ensuring app had access to local networkNone of the above worked and I was in the same position.Over Christmas I noticed Spotify Connected worked fine at my parents house and additionally friends were a

Before the last update I could play music directly from my iPhone to the beam. Now only the tv shows up on the Sonos app as playing in the lounge

I recently migrated my music library to Plex, which I thought was going to be nice because access to my music library is available as a “Music Service” in the Sonos S1 controller.I have some very large smart playlists (thousands of tracks).  I ran into the “20 second timeout” issue that Sonos S1 apparently has when loading a playlist.  If I cut my smart playlist roughly in half, it loads fine, so I’m pretty sure it’s the timeout issue that’s causing the problem.  I don’t think that it’s related to the length of the playlist, as I have no problem going into my music library and shuffling the entire library, which is many many more songs than what I’m currently trying to load from Plex.I was wondering if anyone that has experience with the SonoPhone app knows how it handles very large Plex playlists?

This Christmas, many dads will unwrap a shiny new Sonos system, expecting premium sound and seamless functionality to elevate their music experience. But for those in the know, it might not be the gift it once promised to be. The closed ecosystem, plagued by frustrating app issues and missing features, has left many Sonos users feeling like they're trapped in an endless loop of troubleshooting instead of enjoying their music. The excitement of unboxing soon turns into hours spent wrestling with buggy software, connectivity hiccups, and a system that doesn't give users the freedom to customize or fix it themselves. So, to all the dads unwrapping Sonos this year: we feel for you. Here's hoping that in the future, Sonos will choose to listen to its users, embrace openness, and make next Christmas one to truly celebrate. For now, enjoy the sound—if you can get itto work.

As it stands I am still missing a large number of Sonos custom playlists on my Android device. I have an Apple device and can see all of the playlists within the app on this device. I can also see all of the playlists within the Windows desktop app. The issue is related to the Android version of the app. Has anyone else come across this or found a resolution? My only work-around which actually didn't work was to use the windows desktop app, and add the missing playlists as Favourites. This shows the name of the playlist on my Android device but does not play the songs within it.  Does anyone know if a fix for this is even on the road map? Or do I have to just use an IOS device to play SONOS content comfortably? This is really frustrating!! 

Feature request:From today’s firmware update on my system….When an update fails, is it possible to include the name of the device that failed? When I went back, an hour later, to run it a second time, it told me one of my Subs hadn’t updated properly, and I needed to run the update process again, which I did, and was successful. So apparently there is some data existing that identifies which device didn’t update properly, or it wouldn’t have shown me the Sub needed updating. All I’m asking is to show that data at the ‘update failed’ time, in addition to the current ‘this device needs updating’ time. If it matters to anyone, I did run a diagnostic after the failure part. But not one after the success, since I’m not sure it would have been helpful. 

Has anyone had luck adding their music library from a Synology NAS with DSM 7+ to a S1 configuration?  After Hours with L2 support they finally told me, oh it wont work with DSM 7, you may want to downgrade back to DSM6. I just want to see if anyone out there has been able to add the music library under these conditions.Thank you, Mike
