Controllers and Music services

I’ve just added an album with 19 tracks to my NASUsing the Windows desktop apps:Sonos S1 has ‘updated the music library’, added on entry with 19 tracksSonos S2 has updated the music library with 4 entries:                 Album 1 has 16 entries                 Album 2 has 1 entry                 Album 3 has 1 entry                 Album 4 has 1 entryWhy? 

hello, since your app rleases on 09 and 12 December, there is now a new problem for voice-over users navigating away from the now playing screen. when you use this feature to either find out more info about the track playing, or when watching TV for turning speech enhancement and night sound on and off, it is no longer possible to close this screen via the button at the top left. this fault was present at the launch of the new app, but was resolved in July 2024, but it’s back once again! previously there used to be a close button at the top left of the screen, and also a dialogue to “close pop-up window” but these have both disappeared. At present the only way round this is to use the (very unreliable) two finger scrub jesture in voice-over, or alternatively to close the app completely and then restart the app. Are any other voice-over users experiencing this fault? also can this bug be looked at by your development team and resolved as soon as possible please.

I would have added my comment to an already existing question, but that topic has been closed and the matter has still not been fixed.As a professional video games programmer I will try to be as objective as I can without it sounding as though I’ve just spent £3500 on a complete pile of rubbish. If SONOS spent half as much effort on fixing the numerous bugs in their software as they do on advertising their products their customers would be much happier.Sonos support are aware of these bugs and are nearly as exasperated as the customers.The only solution to this problem is to get a statement from the CEO who should be fully aware of these software bugs (if he/she isn’t the they should be sacked) and what they intend to do about them. Who is on the programming team? Why hasn’t this been addressed? Do they have a producer, and why haven’t they been fired? Your customers need to be reassured and this need to come from the top - Now.Having every customer hatin

It seems these forums are littered with SONOS app complaints and issues around similar topics to this. The (older orange) Windows app worked fine setting up and detecting my Music Library at  //mybooklive/public/shared music. I could also work in fine using the Web app.The (newer black) iOS app however has been an absolute headache. First, when I tried //mybooklive/public/shared music, it just wouldn’t recognise the pathway… so I replaced the space with an underscore _ and now it is recognising it. However, it comes and goes regularly. This morning, it’s still there, but despite this I cannot find and use the Music Library. The app is recognising the pathway, but not displaying any music from it on my iPad or iPhone. The windows app and the web app still both work fine.What gives? What happened to SONOS? A basic requirement so fundamentally broken 😠 

I was signed in as the system owner, why do I have to sign out and then in again as the system owner only to get a message of something went wrong try later. It has been months with this issue and there is no fix. Ready to throw the whole system out the window. 

Updated app yesterday and now nothing works - 2 hrs waiting and then dealing with helpdesk - router rebooted 4 times all 20 devices rebooted, controllers reloaded several times, moved to Sonos channel 1 and still not working. Approximately 5 hrs of wasted time, pls help. Helpdesk claim it is a known problem which isn’t particularly helpful - a known solution would be better and a timeframe for when it will get fixed - another massive Sonos own goal.

I can't even play songs or control volume with it as well as any integration with Alexa or Google Assistant. The developers and especially the managers/c-suite execs should all be ashamed of themselves for rolling out this crap.

I have a simple Sonos system with 2 Play 1’s and a Boost. I recently had to set up the system again as my PC went away to be fixed. I was using the S1 app but have now been moved to the S2 app. Now I cannot set up the music library. I have tried to connect to the Sonos on my desktop computer and my laptop. Every time I get a message: “Reason: Unable to add the shared folder //Laptop … to your Music Library(1002)”I thought it might be a network issue, so tried to make a small library using a USB memory stick in the desktop or the laptop with a few music files on it. Still no joy, and the same message.Could it be a firewall issue (although as far as I can tell the firewall was configured correctly during the setup procedure)? I am using a mesh system and again all looks OK with all the nodes connected.I am running out of ideas - does anybody have any idea what the issue might be?

The Sonos Windows is taking 30 seconds to startup everytime I launch it. It goes through a few screens such as System not available and then finally completes successfully. Any sugestions for what is causing the issue? Sonos App 16.5, Windows 11 Pro 22H2

With Amazon Music, it seems I can’t search. Is that normal? That service is NOT helpful. I had YouTube Music--it was okay. I need something great--and, obviously, searchable. Whatcha all got?

My music library is stored on a NAS. The  Windows 10 version of  the app runs correctly and picks up the the Music Library successfully. However, I would like to be able to do the same with the SONOS app  running on Android but I am unable to achieve this outcome.I have tried several paths to no avail. Is it a question of waiting until another update is delivered.

hi everyone! no idea what happend!! this is super frustrating!  suddenly all the devices disppeared from my apple tv airplay list. i tried to follow instructions to unplug the devices and reset. then set up on the app again (also deleted the app and resinstalled). after it connects to the network it wont show up in the system still. it did say to unplug then plug the device again. did that. ive followed these steps several times. any idea what is going on? this is so frustrating!! their app is SO FAULTY

Why won't my Sonos Era 300 allow me to sign in to my Amazon account. Tried several times and it won't sign in to my Amazon account 

Geez, this app is getting worse and worse.  I have version 80.14.09.   When I stream a playlist or queue from Spotify (or any provider) the individual songs are no longer separated by a pause.  In other orders, as a song is ending, but not quite finished yet, the next one starts immediately without a pause.  Any solutions (besides an entirely reprogrammed app)?app

My system works fine on my iPhone but when I try to access it via the app on my wife’s iPhone, the system doesn’t exist.  It’s the same problem regardless of whether I sign in on my own account or my wife’s account. It asks me to update my network settings or setup a new system. The former fails and I don’t want to risk the latter in case it ruins my existing system, fixed by Sonos expert earlier today.This has never been a problem until now as we’ve both been able to access the same Sonos system independently from our iPhones by signing into our individual accounts.

I am unable to add any songs from Spotify to the Sonos queue via the S1 app.

I am on ios and the app tells me to reauthorise my apple account, when taken to the log in page i enter my details and sign in, but then it opens the screen that says i need to reautherise again…There is also no call centre for sonos in my country…

I own two SONOS systems, one at the cottage (where I am the administrator) and the other one at home (where my son is the administrator).How can I access all the services set-up on the local SONOS system without having to login as the administrator? I tried closing the SONOS APP and reopening it without success on iPadOS and iOS.We chose to use different administrators on the two separate systems for convenience (e.g. managing updates, setting up different services account). We share our SONOS accounts details in order to resolve (too many) frequent issues on the local Wi-Fi network. Along with the many other frustrating issues with the SONOS 2 APP, I don’t know how I can easily access the services on each system without having to login as the administrator of a given system. Example : When I come back home from the cottage, I select the Home system on the Home Wi-Fi system where I see all the separate room speakers, but I cannot see the service

Hi all, I have this issue since a few weeks. The Sonos App keeps saying that I need to login as system owner, bur of course I am the system owner. So I cannot add new devices or change settings. I have already tried to uninstall the app but nothing has changed, I also tried to use a new Android device to connect with the Sonos system but I still have the same message. I have contacted the Sonos assistance online but no help so far. I am using an Android device. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello!My music library resides on a NAS system and I use the Android app. I rip my own mp3s and the software I have used sometimes created a .m3u file when I rip a whole album.  Most of these playlists show up under the ‘Imported Playlist’ section of my Music Library in the app. I thought I would try creating my own .m3u playlists of various tracks.I am using the VLC media player (Linux) and a text editor to create the files.  VLC created playlists use a URL to the file  (eg file:///home/Music/AC-DC/High_Voltage/05-TNT.mp3).  I didn’t think Sonos would understand this so I have a version of that file that uses relative paths (eg AC-DC/High_Voltage/05-TNT.mp3). I have Sonos update the content and neither playlist shows up.  I even deleted and re-added the Music library and neither shows up.I tried creating a new directory and putting the playlists in there and neither the folder nor the playlists show up after rescanning the music library.  I am out of ide

I can use the speakers from the computer app just fine, but the iPhone app keeps flashing continuously between the library and Your System screen so it is unusable.The iPhone app shows the right song being played, so it is connecting to the speakers, but it can't be used because the screen keeps flipping back and forth so the clicks go to random buttons.Speakers are updated, iPhone and computer apps are updated (iPhone version is 80.14.09)

I am new to Sonos speaker use.I am having trouble getting my Win 11 PC music file to transfer to the Sonos music library. It seems to be showing but will not play. The message appearing when attempting to play a song choice pops up “It does not exist”First level tech attempt to trouble shoot for 1.5 hrs. today until I asked to be escalated, so now I wait for a email to schedule a time to book the next level tech.Any dumbed down level suggestions? Has anyone else experienced the same issue?JT

Help. My Sonos takes about 4 attempts before it will play. Then the visual information does not keep up with the track being played. If the system plays for longer than two hours I receive the famous "no products found " message.  Meaning everything freezes. So frustrating.  Any ideas. I'm not a computer engineer IT graduate. I bought Sonos as a plug and play. 

Can someone please explain how room control is supposed to work? What I’m experiencing appears problematic.The setup:Two rooms: A and B. If it matters -- room A contains a One SL; room B contains two Fives in a stereo pair.Two people: Person A in room A, person B in room B. Each person is using the latest Sonos app on an iPhone.The problem:Person A is streaming a radio station in Room A, from that station’s web site, using AirPlay on the person’s iPhone.Person B wants to stream a SiriusXM station in Room B. SiriusXM is accessible via the Sonos app on person B’s iPhone.Person B clicks the Rooms icon on his Sonos app and sees both rooms. Room A is checked and indicates streaming. Room B is unchecked; no streaming shown. What does he need to do start streaming something in Room B without affecting what’s happening in Room A? If he checks Room B (so that both rooms are checked), his streaming choice start

I was able to log back in to my account in the ios app and my Sirius account is connected and playing but there is no sound.  Tried local to play local music from my library, also no sound.  Suggestions?
