Controllers and Music services

I’m having the same issues many have reported to access my iTunes library, I can get it to recognise the library and play my tunes but as soon as the computer storing the files goes into standby the tracks still show but won’t play saying they have either been moved or the computer is off, even if I wake up the computer they still can’t be found, if I restart my computer the files are there and will play again this is on an IMac I used to use a Mac mini but the music library will not show up on this one no matter what I do and I have tried all the options to make it workthis is really spoiling my experience with Sonos and I’m too far into the brands products to go to another system

I have a s1 system inncluding an old Connect.I have now bought a beam and a sub mini and want to upgade the system excluding connect and adding beam and sub. I understand that I shall establish a s1 system with the connect, this done by excluding the s2 compatiple units in the old system. But how do I set up the New s2 with the excluded units and the new Beam and sub?

Can I update the Windows app to the current version and be confident I will not lose the Sonos playlist editing functionality in my current version?My Windows app seems to be the last place that can still edit a Sonos playlist.  I am reluctant to apply any of the more recent updates to the Windows app unless I can be confident that:The newest version of the Windows app has a full set of Sonos playlist editing functionality             ---- OR ----That I can rollback to my current version if it turns out that the current version is unusable for Sonos playlist editng. 

Hello Sonos!  Not a question but can’t find where to post suggestions for the app.  Please bring back the ability to tap the volume slider for quick access to EQ settings 🙏 // Björn

Why, just why? I play white noise loudly on my Sonos play 3 speaker and at random points it forgos me playing it on a loop in the app and instead switches to playing whatever I had playing on my Spotify app, just as loud waking me up for a while. I don’t use the Spotify app to play music to my Sonos speaker EVER. I even tried to test things and I can’t even if i tried, does not play music from Spotify. Just randomly through the night it’ll completely switch controlling apps, then forgets how it does it when I try manually. What garbage software would even cause this please fix asap. And don’t suggest my wifi connection is the problem like every other thread on here, idc it still shouldn’t blast music from other apps.

I used to have several Sonos speakers and a Sonos bar, but when they all quit working after the upgrade I gave them away. I kept one Sonos 1. I can stream to it, but nothing I try gets it to connect to my music library. I used to love this system. It used to work flawlessly. I swore off of it, but I keep checking back because I miss it. I’ve tried the suggestions that I’ve read here...nope. I’ve watched it indexing for more than 10 hours...nope. Why on earth would I buy new Sonos speakers knowing that they will not work a few years down the road. I can stream my music library through decent desktop speaker. The sound quality is inferior to Sonos, but they work with no headaches. I’ll keep checking back to see if Sonos has fixed their product.

I used to listen to music all the time on my Sonos using Spotify, but suddenly it doesn’t work anymore?  The speaker works as I can use Apple Music but when I try and connect Spotify it just says ‘connecting…’ for like 5-10 seconds and then just… stops trying and keeps playing on my phone?  Has anyone met this issue before? 

Hello everyone,in my Sonos app on my Windows computer under “select a music source” I have both “music library” and also “sonos playlists”. available. I have two questions, which I hope can be addressed.The sonos playlist folder shows all of my music whereas the music library shows most but not all of my music.  Why might that be ? The Sonos app on my Ipad just shows the music library but not the sonos playlists folder. Why might that be ? Any help would be much appreciatedModerator edit: changed “the” to “not” at request

I’m finding that I can view alarms in the new app but any edits to them don’t save, they can’t be deleted and new ones created also don’t save. Basically editing in the app doesn’t work at all. The only way I can edit alarms is via the Mac desktop app, any changes made here immediately show up in the mobile app its just editing in the app that doesn’t work. Is this a known bug?

I am setting up my new Sonos Five and use Deezer as my streaming service. Using the Sonos app I click add, choose, Deezer, I have an account but doesn't ask for my Deezer login details?Instead it says 'please authorise Sonos to use your Deezer account'. The authorise button appears and when you press it it simply opens my Deezer app and there is nowhere to 'authorise'  Please help?! Thanks 

One of the main uses of Sonos for me is being woken up by Radio. It plays in my whole flat, and I can go from my bedroom into the kitchen, feed the cats, wander into the shower all the time being lulled by Radio 4 (UK talk radio news etc). But recently, I am now conditioned to the Sonos Donkey (Chime?!) and am woken by Eeyore eeyore - eeoyre; eeyore - eeeevery morning.I have re-booted my router.Yes, grouped rooms is checked - but none of them workI have rebooted my iPhone.I have rebooted the speakers.I have tried Spotify, Sound Cloud, different radio stations - I still get the donkeyI am not interested in anyone talking about ‘connection issues’ I have a 50 sq m flat, and the minute I grab my phone and turn off the donkey and ask it to play Radio 4 it starts no problem. My next step is to erase the whole system and start again. I find that ridiculous having invested so much in this system. Does anyone have any ideas? 

a few weeks ago my sonos library started giving me multiples copies of some albums. I think even though all my albums are in different folders and have consistent “album artist” is it now giving me an entire different albume for each song artist! This makes compilation albums completely unusable. It’s not the controller, as this is consistent with ios, win11 and Sonopad controllers. Check out this image!  

I am trying to play Podcasts from from Spotify but you can't search on them and I tried creating a play list of podcasts and you can see the play list in Sonos, but not play it.

I’m running an 18 or 19 yr-old setup, still using the old white ZP80 controllers to connect to my amplifier and speakers etc. I’m using version 11.15 of the app, SonosOS S1 - I managed to avoid taking the troublesome upgrade that has caused all these issues.  (Although I think if I am using SMB2 to connect to my NAS, which I am, some library issues will be minimized).But now I want to add some new music and the "Update Music Index Now" is grayed out, with a message saying that I need to upgrade the system before updating will work.I’m going to wait overnight to see if my old 2:00 a.m. scheduled update is still working, but for now has anyone else seen this?

Using my Samsung phone I connect with sonos and select Music Library. When I select songs to play a specific song sonos plays the first song in the last playlist I played. How do I exit from the previously selected playlist? 

I bought a pi zero 2 w and installed samba.  I put my music in the music folder on the SD card with the OS.  The pi zero has a static ip and the smb.conf file has ntlm=yes in the global section.  Sonos accepts the music share but all of the folders are empty (i.e. songs, artists, genres, etc).  Can someone help resolve this?  I have a Sonos one, a move, a beam and a play 1.  They all play nice with the Sonos app but the app doesn't display the music.

The fall of Sonos is a MBA case study in the making. 

My Sono app will not connect to my Android phone or my new ipad but it will connect to my wife's iPhone and her older ipad and I don't know why

My app keeps requesting me to sign in as the owner of my equipment. I sign-in and it keeps saying I need to sign in. Tried resetting all the devices multiple times.

Latest app update struggles hard to stay connected to Apple Music. It frequently skips songs and notes it could not connect to WiFi. Not experiencing WiFi issues with any other devices on my network. Attempted to submit diagnostics to Sonos in the app 3 times and all failed.

The language of the title displayed in the "Now Playing" window does not match the language shown in the list.All basic playback functions work perfectly without issue. I use Sonos app in Japanese. All my accounts settings (language and location) are configured to Japanese and Japan. When playing music from YouTube Music, the "Now Playing" screen displays track titles in English, even if the original titles are in Japanese. This issue does not occur with other music services. For example, Japanese titles are displayed correctly in Japanese when using Amazon Music. Restarting and reconnecting the services did not resolve the issue.While this is not a critical problem, it is a bit inconvenient. This is a minor issue, but I thought it might be worth asking here. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a solution?  

This has happened several times over the last 6 months. The iOS app will work as expected for about one week and then it will open the splash screen, freeze and then clear. I end up deleting the app and then download it again and it works for another week or so and then I do the dance all over again. Easy enough to join the existing system but a pain in the rear to have to do it continually just to use our whole home system. It wasn’t cheap to install but was supposed to be a great system and it was until lately. Am I stuck with having to delete and download weekly or does anyone have any recommendations?

bonjouril n’est plus possible de lire les playlist de apple music sur le play 1.toutes les mises a jour sont faites.je peux écouter les différents artiste de ma bibliothèque mais pas les playlists.j’ai déjà re autorisé apple plusieurs fois.merci

I’m fed up of updating the app and it going wrong so normally leave it a while.   But this app update is being forced on me - basically blocked the use of the app for any of my many Sonos speakers.  

Like other users, I’ve been toiling with getting Sonos to index and use my local Music collection.  I finally ran across this article:https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/share-your-macos-music-folder-with-sonosI otherwise granted Sonos full disk access, and yet it still could not use “My Music Folder”.   This makes no sense.  Further, it makes no sense that to use my music collection, I’d have to go through yet another protocol (SMB) -- granted this works, and I’ll take it because it’s been a lot of trouble.But my question is why?  Why can’t Sonos simply access My Music Folder?   I even shared it, no luck.  SMB it is, for now, but this really shouldn’t be the solution for Sonos and Music on the same physical system.
