Controllers and Music services

I can only play one song through my Apple Music library, which has over 3000 songs. I can shuffle music and it will show in Sonos queue If it’s in a playlist.  How can I play my entire Apple Music library where it will play more than one song and show up in Sonos’s queue. 

Now that legacy TuneIn is gone from the new (buggy) iOS controller and all my custom radio stations (in my case from Digitally Imported di.fm)  were gone and there is no information on the Sonos site I luckily found a way to get them back. However it involves recreating them which can be labour intensive depending on how many you have. You will also need the IOS version of TuneIn for this to work. No premium sign up required.Here are the instructions from TuneIn https://help.tunein.com/en/support/solutions/articles/151000172377-what-is-a-custom-url-and-how-can-i-add-it-to-sonos-The Custom URL feature allows you to listen to a private streaming URL, most likely not in the TuneIn directory, using the TuneIn and Sonos app.

In het verleden kon je Sonos bedienen met de volume knoppen van een iPhone. Dat is ergens in een update verloren gegaan. Ook is de volume regeling in de Sonos app totaal oncontroleerbaar geworden en ik heb niet eens zulke dikke vingers. Vraag mij af of ze bij Sonos ooit zelf hebben getest om het volume in stappen van 1 aan te passen. Een foutmarge van 10 Is veel voorkomend en bloed irritant.  Heeft iemand een oplossing om de Sonos app toch met de knoppen te bedienen? Ik gebruik nu de API icm mijn domotica voor het volume.  Een officiële Sonos iWatch app zou ook een uitkomst zijn. Nu gebruik ik Lyd maar daar kleven icm met wisselen naar TV wel wat nadelen aan omdat het systeem regelmatig de kluts kwijtraakt bij die wisselingen.  Moderator Edit: Google Translate- In the past you could operate Sonos with the volume buttons of an iPhone. That got lost in an update somewhere. The volume control in t

Android Sonos App (latest version, 80.14.06) startup time is very long on my phone (xPeria J9210, Android 11), even after I wipe out all cache/data, reinstall the app, and start it with phone IN FLIGHT MODE, i.e. no WIFI, no access whatsoever to my players.It takes about 2 minutes for the app to finally tell me that I need to enable the Wifi to find my system.And after enabling Wifi, it takes only a few seconds for the app to really find my system and be ready to roll. So the startup time issue can not be related to the players configuration, interference, or wifi/router setup.This is also confirmed by the fact that the same app version on a separate (Android 14) tablet starts and finds the system in a few seconds.So I tried to understand what could cause this massive startup delay and traced the android system activity during the startup phase using common Android debug tools (perfetto trace).What I found is that OkHttp Dispatch thread of the com.

I’m experiencing consistent issues with my Sonos system, where I receive the error message: “Network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer”. This problem occurs specifically when I play FLAC files from my NAS drive.Steps Taken to Troubleshoot:Changed Sonos Channel: I’ve changed the Sonos system’s channel to Channel 11, as it is the least congested in my area based on a Wi-Fi analysis. Checked Network Setup: My Wi-Fi is stable, and my network operates on a 5 GHz band for general devices, with the 2.4 GHz band reserved for Sonos and other compatible devices. Optimized Network Configuration: I’ve ensured minimal interference by separating the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs and placing Sonos speakers closer to the router.Despite these efforts, the issue persists only when playing FLAC file

Am quite a bit annoyed with the discontinuation of the integration with the Calm app, this is used daily in my house.What Calm app alternatives that have their integration supported by Sonos exist?Honestly it makes me want to fire my Sonos in the bin.  

Hi,Things are driving me crazy. Literally spend days digging through many online fora.This is my set-up:Simple router from ISP (Nokia Fiber Router) Every device on LAN can talk to every other device, no restrictions Raspberry Pi, with latest OS version (Bookworm), Lite (no desktop) version, not exposed to the internet External SSD mounted and visible, has all my music files SAMBA file server installed, latest version (Version 4.17.12-Debian), with settings: security = user NTLM auth = yes server min protocol = NT1 client min protocol = NT1 user “sonos” created, with password Sonos devices: Connect Amp, GEN1, wired Connect, GEN1, SonosNet 3 x Play:1, GEN2, SonosNet This is the issue:I can add the library to the app, I can see in the app (iPhone and laptops) all album art, and I can play music on all

I have Sonos speakers in 3 rooms. I want to use Sonos speakers as a single, unified system. That means always playing the same music across rooms at the same volume.The experience for doing is is cumbersome and often fails. Speakers become ungrouped, alarms can’t be set for groups, and you can’t “cheat” and add all speakers to a single room.This is a very poor user experience vs. what is advertised as “seamless”.

I have two setups of sonos products. I have them for about ten years. One time I upgraded both sets to s2. Since then super slow, so yesterday I decided to downgrade to s1 again. Better response times since then and everything works but… I am unable to perform a trueplay tuning through my phone or any phone running iOS 18. it immediately throws a network error. I tried to find out what is was but to no avail. I could do a tuning by using a older iPad running iOS 16 without any problems. My guess is that the problem is not in the Sonos network or WiFi network but in the iPhones and maybe a security setting that prevents trueplay tuning?Can someone help me with this?

I purchaced an ARC Ultra and 2 x ERA 300’s on Boxing day, set up was easy all worked great until the Sonos App needed to update. Since doing this it seems I’ve lost the volume slider on one out of the three each time I open it.I’ve also lost functionality through the app, where more often than not I have go to the speaker to turn on , off or control volume.Seems as though the app is relatively useless now, because these are all the functions I want to remotely control.Reading through the community comments this seems to have been going on for over 7 months with SONOS help saying they will release bug fixes shortly.When is shortly please ?Anyone resolved this issue ? I have tried all the suggestions, resets, reboot, uninstalls etc

Other threads are locked… Firmware update today, removed and added library and my compilations are now correct. I would celebrate but it’s nothing to be proud or happy about after all this time

When I choose the Sonos Radio service from the Sonos app on my IPhone my screen says that my account access has expired and ask me to sign in.I sign in but the items are all greyed out.When I check my account it says it is “Active: Sonos Radio HD”When I click Content Services”, it does not open, but asks me to sign in (again) which does nothing.Any suggestions for how I can access Sonos Radio?Thanks 

J’ai installé le service Radio France sur l’appli Sonos et quand je demande à Sonos “Joue France Inter “ Cela me repond que pour ajouter France Inter il faut que je l’ajoute au Service . Et l’enceinte se met à jouer un bruit blanc très désagréable. Comment éviter que l’enceinte diffuse ce bruit blanc Pourquoi il n’est pas possible d’utiliser Radio France par commande vocale ? Moderator Edit: Google Translate- I installed the Radio France service on the Sonos app and when I ask Sonos “Play France Inter” It tells me that to add France Inter I have to add it to the Service. And the speaker starts playing a very unpleasant white noise. How to prevent the speaker from broadcasting this white noise Why is it not possible to use Radio France by voice command?

Howdy y’all. I was wondering what the status is for using custom music services on the Android Sonos app? I have been using Airsonic-Advanced for many years now (Subsonic prior). Here is the documentation link if anyone is curious or needs more details on how this works: https://github.com/airsonic-advanced/airsonic-advanced/blob/master/SONOS.mdThis represents 99%+ of what I use my Sonos system for. I can’t seem to make sense of whether or not this is something that is on the roadmap for future fixing? I am assuming this is a result of the android app update a few months ago, since that is when it stopped working. I use this all day every day, so it was easy to notice. I can fully use my Airsonic-Advanced service with the Windows and iPad Sonos apps, so that is how I am currently getting by. Anyway, if anyone has any information that

My wife and I have 2 x Spotify Premium Duo accounts - one each on our respective iPhones.  Both accounts are connected accounts on our Sonos app, with my wife’s account as the primary (and selected) account.  However when I leave the house and play spotify in the car or through my air pods, the Sonos playlist in the house stops playing.  Is there a way to configure this to prevent that?

Since the Spring 2024 update my system takes close to a minute to connect to my system. While listening to music and want to adjust the volume or skip a song, I open my phone where the app is open showing the first song I played and it takes a minute before the current song comes up and allows me to adjust any settings like volume pause or forward track. Additionally, when I am listing to a song and want to view the queue to see what’s next, when it opens it goes to the top of the queue list instead of the song currently playing.  The UX on the new app is MUCH worse than the old one which was significantly more user intuitive. 

Hello, I read other topics. I verified my account is (and always has been) in the US. I'm not using a VPN. I've tried this on my phone (android) and an  iPad, but there is no Sirius listed in the service listing. I've been trying to add it for like 8 months but finally got mad enough about it to make an account here. 

I have Play 1 speakers. System refuses, this morning, to connect to Prime Music content. Do I wait till Monday to call Tech support, or is there some fix, or issue I'm unaware of? 

Can I pair my iPhone with my Sonos system?

I have TWO albums titled ‘Crash’ (DMB and movie soundtrack). Indexing gives me three albums, with TWO copies of the soundtrack along with the DMB album. I have FOUR albums titled ‘Unplugged’ (Alice in Chains, Alicia Keys, Eric Clapton and Wind Machine).  Indexing gives me seven albums: AiC, EC, WM, and FOUR copies of Alicia Keys. In both cases the duplicates are identical with respect to tracks, artists, etc. I got around the problem by changing the album titles, using ‘Crash (soundtrack)’ for one and ‘(artist name) Unplugged’ for the others. But this seems buggy and unnecessary.  Any ideas as to why the duplicates in the first place? Thanks...

I am unable to select and play either music or other audio using the Sonos app. The app will not allow me to select the speaker I want to use and Ifmi try and play anything via the currently selected speaker I get an “unable to connect.Try again later” notification.  However I can use Alexa to play music or radio stations to different speakers. i’ve also had problems with the app not showing all my system without constantly powering speakers off and on again. yesterday I logged out of the app, deleted it and reinstalled the app again. My system then appeared in it’s entirety and I could select Speakers and play both radio stations and Apple Music, however today the previous issues discribed above are back. My Sonos system includes: port, Beam Gen2, Roam, Era 100 and One. I use Apple Music and various Radio providers. I use an iPhone to run the Sonos app. Any advice on how to resolve would be appreciated as currently my whole sy

I have used Sonos playing TIDAL for many years. Suddenly it won’t do that anymore. I have deleted TIDAL and reinstalled it. Managed to play one song, and that’s it. I can see my favourites playlists, suggestions from TIDAL etc - but that’s it. Suggestions anyone?

I’m running a 7YO Playbar with two Play surrounds and a subwoofer. Everything has worked fine until recently. I can control my system through the app on my phone, but I recently installed OSX 15 (Sequoia) on two of my Macs and now can no longer connect to my system from either Mac. I just downloaded and installed the most recent Sonos app and that didn’t change anything. The app is giving me a message saying my Mac firewall settings need to be adjusted, but I’ve tried both firewall on with Sonos inbound connections allowed, and firewall completely disabled, and neither has worked. My wife’s Mac is still running OS X 14.7 and I can connect through that Mac and desktop app without any problems, it’s just the ones that have been updated to OS X 15.Any suggestions on anything else I can try? As I said, I can use my phone, but I like using the desktop app when I’m sitting at my computer.

HiNot sure what's happened or how long this has been going on.I mostly listen to a local library of music on my NAS.  I've got a number of playlists in m3u format.When i open the playlist in the android app and replace the queue with the playlist, it adds the tracks over and over again until there are >64000 tracks in the queue.  The playlist has about 1500 tracks in it.I'm at my wits end with this app and this is a new discovery today.Any clues?  Thanks.

I have looked through many posts on this forum and have come to the conclusion that I’ll never be able to return to the days when I was able to listen to all the tracks I downloaded onto my PC.  I don’t like using the Sonos App on my iPhone (which in any event can’t take the latest version of the app) but I do like the quality of sound coming from my speakers.The strange thing is, although the tracks on my Sonos Playlists always slip so that only about 5% play right through, I have no trouble with the few downloads I have on my Deezer Favorites playlist (I can’t remember  why I set up a Deezer Favorites playlist)I like my Sonos speakers so what alterntive use can I put them to?
