Controllers and Music services

I have several alarms going off around the house in the morning. But one of them (the last one) - Norman’s - will only chime. See screenshot. Any tricks to avoid that….? Thanks!  

As of this writing I have seen quite a bit of improvement with the new app.  Response, volume control and grouping have been improved.  However when using the ‘new’ app and I select one of my Amazon playlists which has an excess of 100 tracks the “queue” in the ‘new’ app will only display 100 tracks.As a test I launched the ‘old’ app on my home PC and when I select a playlist in excess of 100 songs the ‘old’ app and the ‘new’ app show the correct number of tracks.  The playlist I selected in the ‘old’ app had 494 tracks.It’s obviously not an Amazon issue and I was wondering if anyone else would be able to verify this as well.Apple Music playlists display the correct number of tracks in both ‘old’ and ‘new’ app.

Hi. I’m finding that most of the time when I select a podcast through the new releases part of Pocketcasts through the app it plays a random podcast off the list rather than the specific one I select. This is a recent issue (I’d say last month or two). There seem to be no issues with the rest of the Pocketcasts interface. App version 80.07.05. Anyone else getting the same thing?

Having spent the better part of an hour getting the “there’s something wrong” error when using Amazon Unlimited I’ve finally given up. Worked for years, now I can’t listen to s*it. Done venting 

Grouping “Everywhere”

Well I waisted 90 mins of my day today on an issue with the S2 App.  The problem is that my paired Play 3’s in my Study appear in my S2 App on my phone, but whenever I leave the app (with the music playing), and go back into the App, the App shows no music and I cannot therefore control the music volume etc.  Useless when I need to pause the music immediately.  Eventually it reappears after 45-60 seconds, but repeats each time I leave the S2 app to do something else on my phone.  So after speaking to the Sonos Support helpline on the phone, they decided that it was because my Play3’s are too old and the processor cannot cope anymore!  It was suggested I upgrade (save 15% on the upgrade programme).  I won’t be doing this.I’m posting this because this is the biggest load of rubbish I’ve experienced in 15 years of using Sonos and spending thousands of £ on equipment.  I have a cinema set up, portable, one in my bedroom and another pair in my kitchen.The reason this is rubbish is because w

I have tried twice to fix my Sonos access issue to my PC music library by contacting Sonos support. All my PC and Android Sonos updates are current. I was able to establish the connection for 1-2 days and then it goes away… link does not exist. My last contact with Sonos was 11/11/24. They indicated that a fix was not available yet but the release notes show Music Library improvement on 10/28/24. https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/release-notes-sonos-app-updatesIs there a fix for music library access yet? ThanksAll I want for Christmas is my Music Library back!

The Sonos S2 app is repeatedly crashing on iOS 17.6.1it opens then closes. I tried going through the Sonos S1 app, but same results.  S1 does not crash, but will not access Sonos S2 through S1. It sends me back to Sonos latest updated app, which then crashes.  if I go to speaker, it plays last album I was playing before this Sonos update mishigoss.  while I’m complaining & explaining, I would appreciate it if  the Sonos app was visible on locked home screen so I can see what’s playing without having to login to iPhone to see track.  

When things first started going wrong I was hopeful it would soon be fixed. But here we are months later and it still does not work. I’ve been using Sonos since 2006. I have two surround systems which I used with Apple TVs. I’ve managed to sell my other speakers but occasionally I like to listen to music without the TV … and it’s simply too frustrating now. 

The last time I let Sonos update any of my equipment, they moved everything to S2 except the one component that would not handle S2, so I lost the ability to use some legacy equipment. it was a nuisance to move each individual component back to s1 and I do not want to have to do that again

Attention Sonos iOS App "Developers" (and I use that term loosely),Congratulations! You've achieved the impossible - pushing me to the brink of sanity and onto a community forum. Bravo!To the illustrious team behind this digital masterpiece: have you considered a career change? Perhaps to something more suited to your talents, like professional crayon testers or professional line-standers? Because let's face it, your current output wouldn't impress a toddler with a Fisher-Price toy phone.Your app updates, arriving with the frequency of Halley's Comet, are less "new release" and more "new reason to question human evolution." I've seen more advanced technology in a potato clock.So here's a novel idea: why not invest in some basic iOS training? Or better yet, invest in a time machine, go back to high school, and pay attention this time. Because right now, your app is the digital equivalent of a flip-flop in a marathon - utterly useless and painfully out of place.In conclusion, for the lov

Frozen app on set up for existing system. Have deleted and reinstalled app but same frozen screen

I have a converted wall box turned into a juke box with an Arduino it has a USB-C audio out..What is the best way to connect to my Sonos system..I have a Old ZP90 but then would have to revert the system to Sonos 1 versionIs it possible to use USB-C to ethernet and link it that way any advice is appreciated 

Request 1: Please introduce some kind of volume normalization like the native Spotify app has. I use Sonos at work and find big volume differences prohibitive for work playlists  Request 2: Please add the ability to queue a playlist to Play Next already Shuffled. As of now, I can only add a playlist, and then reshuffle the entire list. I'd like to play a low energy playlist initially, and then add a higher energy playlist later on, but not risk reshuffling already played songs. I understand that I could simply remove the current queue, but this feature would give me more flexibility when I'm busy at work Thanks!

I can use my Sonos music library on my Synology NAS using MacOS.I can not use my Sonos music library on my Synology NAS using my preferred devices iPad OS or IOS on my iPhone.I can occasionally use the library on maybe one or two occasions after deleting and re adding the path on the iPad OS app. It has never maintained access overnight.When I try and detect the music library - nothing.When I  scan for new content it scans and the Synology NAS show activity.When I use the iPad OS Files app I can easily access the music folder on my NAS.Does anyone know when or, even IF, Sonos plans to fix this disastrous Sonos app for IOS for use with a NAS drive?

  Amazon Music Unlimited still limits the number of tracks that can be loaded into the queue.  That limit is 500.  There is a way, though, to load more than 500 tracks.  I had a playlist that was 689 tracks long.  I wanted all those tracks in the queue.  So I split that playlist into two playlists.  The first had 350 tracks and the second had the rest. I loaded the first playlist into the queue then added the second playlist using Add to End of Queue.  That gave me all 689 tracks. 

Changed my wifi provider and with old Sonos products did a full reset and managed to get all my iTunes music into my Sonos library on my laptop, so All my music plays fine form my laptop. However, when I try to add Apple Music to my IOS Sonos app with my Apple id and password I get the message “We have run into a problem, please try again”. Can anyone help please.

Frustrated with Sonos for the 1st time.  I have owned Sonos since the ZP100 were 1st introduced. You can say awhile. My standard response to folks asking about Sonos is that it simply just works. Well I can’t say that now. Disappointed.  lately my Sonos has quit working on my iPad.  It still works on my iPhone. It has worked on my iPad for at least 10 years. No recent changes to network or anything. Now it simply doesn’t work.  I’ve done all the basics, reset, turn off, reset router mesh system, etc.   can anyone explain how to fix this?  I’ve read the threads on this subject already and tried them. Anyone at Sonos have a fix. I was your best non-Sonos employee salesman and now have a pause on my thoughts.  steve

People not skilled at windows have struggled to add music to their library. This is what I did Ok, I am new Sonos user and downloaded and installed the windows app onto my Windows11 PC. I got he 913 error initially and did the following (refer to picture)My Pc is called MARTIN-PC so the full network path to it is \\MARTIN-HP\Music.I right-clicked and chose Properties, selected the Sharing folder I shared it.Then I selected Advanced Sharing, checked Share this folder and then clicked the Permissions button.Clicked the Add… button which gives a Select User or Groups window.I typed Sonos in the text box and hit the check names button. It filled in the full name (in my case MARTIN-PC\Sonos).Selected this line in the text box and hit OK.The Permissions for Music window was reactivated and the Sonos Wireless HiFi System appeared in the upper list.I selected it, then added Change permission to Allow (Read was already checked)After hitting OK a few times, back to Sonos app and it worked just f

I currently have a large amount of music stored on my WD Home NAS in various formats.  I’m able to stream MP3s to Sonos but FLAC files, although visible on the Sonos app (Music Library), bring up an error stating they don’t exist.  I guess this could be down to the NAS (which is a few years old) or the device I’m using to connect to Sonos.I also use Spotify but again, this doesn’t allow lossless audio.If there’s no workable solution, one option I am considering is buying a Brennan B2 or B3.  I have a large CD collection so streaming from Brennan to Sonos in lossless is appealing.However, if I take the plunge on a Brennan, I believe I would need to set that up as the designated Music Library.  So my question is - can two folders be set up within the Music Library on the Sonos app?  I don’t want to lose access to my existing NAS as that has some unique recordings (albeit on MP3) but would love the option of streaming lossless from another device.I guess my other question is does anyone k

What is wrong with the sonos app?  Since three weeks, I can’t control the volume anymore; it continuely searches, trying to find what is playing. It’s a frustrating mess. If it doesn’t get fixed soon, i am changing everything & i am going to spread my experience on all forums possible. 

HiSince the update of the Sonos App, Radioplayer Service is nit working antymore. Also the new Radioplayer app is not finding my Sonos System. Can you help ?thank you

I have DIFM channels listed in my Sonos Favorites on my iMac but they are not showing on the Sonos App on my iphone. Use to show on the “old” TuneIn service. 

I have just bought an era 300 and set up the new app (have an old Play 5 with Sonos 1 controller).  Trueplay set up goes into a loop so I cannot set it up and the slider volume control just pops back every time so cannot use that either.  Really poor app.  I have re-booted phone and still nothing working.  Any solutions?

After much searching in this forum, I solved my first issue in that the Tidal service was not available to add in the app. That was fixed by logging in to the desktop site and updating my address.Now Tidal appears as a service to add, and I can navigate through the authorisation process. This takes me off to Tidal website where I successfully log in and authorise.However, back in the app, it just won’t add Tidal. Just says it can’t. I’ve reset the app multiple times, rebooted the phone (Android), but it just won’t work.This is rubbish; I can’t play my music, making our Sonos speakers useless.When is this being fixed? It’s clearly an app problem. p.s: I also tried playing music through the Tidal app, then try and authorise as it played. Didn’t work either. The Sonos speaker is detected by Tidal, but won’t cast the music due to the authorisation bug.
