Controllers and Music services

I have used Sonos for more than 10 years. These controllers have got progressively worse and so I am not buying any more product until there is a significant improvement and these controllers. I particular playing my own music is much more difficult than it was 10 years ago.

Hi,  I was outside enjoying the music (first time since April) on my Sonos One when all of a sudden after 5 or 6 tracks had played on YTM system not found on the network came up and the music had stopped.  After checking, all of my speakers had gone missing.  Beam, Arc, Sub, 2 x Ones and a One SL.  I tried searching on the update network and it found my Beam and the One SL.  Then after I put my TV on the other speakers appeared again.  My Arc is wired to my TP Link XE-75 with the others all wireless.

when i am listening to the radio and want to change to another station. The Sonos App appears to go through the motions of changing stations. the Logo of the New stations comes up.. But it is still the old station playing. The only way I have found to change radio stations is to first play some music on Spotify and then you can change to another Radio Station

Why do I get multiple entries for compilation albums in my local library and each entry plays the complete compilation album, I appear to have a separate entry in Album view for each artist within a compilation which is sometimes over a hundred entries for the same album. This is both with the windows app (Win 11) and android app. With well over 700 albums and lots of them listed multiple times it makes the selection very UN-user friendly Many thanksLimpet53

Hello. I can't seem to connect the line-in connected to my Port to play from my speakers in the living room (Allrum). It only seems to play to the Port itself but I want to make it play from the speakers. Ive tried pressing the line-in from "Your Sources" but nothing happens, it only wants to play from the "Port" room. I'm pretty new to this so maybe im missing something obvious but I've tried most possible solutions and tried look through the line-in settings in the app. The user manual doesn't really give any help. Any help would be much appreciated! 

I have just opened the app (android) and all the services I installed like TuneIn, Spotify, Amazon Music are missing. If I try to add them again, I get a "something went wrong" message.I restarted my phone & that has not helped.  Currently, I only have a Play1, a Connect and a bridge active on the system.

I've had an S1 so no system of five components for 15 or more years and it's been wonderful.  Two months ago I got a Sonos Arc for a new TV in a single room and have not even used the S2 app to play music on that system, and my S1 system has been working fine the whole 2 months.  I have not updated any app or component, as far as I know.  But just now, my S1 app can only see the Arc and wants me to download the S2 app.  I've heard about all the mess with the S2 app upgrades in the past 6 months, and have not had to deal with them because I only use the Arc with the TV.  Now this?  Help!

Ok - so, when the revamped Android app was launched a few months ago at least I could use my system via the Windows desktop app or with an ipad.This is no longer the case. Every device I used to connect to my system and play music via my Sonos speakers is now useless. Will this nightmare be over any time soon? Or should I just burn those speakers? Is anyone still able to use their Sonos products?

If I stream music direct from either the Quobuz or Amazon Music HD apps (i.e. not through Sonos) then the experience is even worse with drops outs and skips on every song. Same if I download the songs. 

HiMy SONOS setup is as follows;1 * Play 1 (not hard wired)1 * One SL (not hard wired)1 * SONOS Boost (hardwired)1 * TP Link router (no range extenders) - stable and excellent WIFI All running S2SONOS app on IOS and Windows 101 * Music Library of "ripped" MP3 CDs residing on a windows share of a Windows Server 2012 box (using SMB2 - SMB1 not enabled). Share / NTFS permissions on Windows have been checked and are correct. Windows 2012 firewall rules conform to the SONOS documentation.I purchased my SONOS speakers so that I could play music from my "relatively small" (approx. 6000 tracks), music library. I don't use subscription music services. My SONOS content servers comprise various radio stations and BBC Sounds.All worked well until the S2 upgrade. Now I can access my music library from the SONOS IOS app but get inconsistent results when trying to play tracks. Sometimes a selected track will play fine - sometimes

I was surprised to see only first few Sonos Playlists appear in recent update (80.10.06) They are all there on iOS devices. Have updated speakers etc. Is this a known issue? 

I thought the nightmare was over, but I have suddenly been disconnected from all my services ie Plex, Mixcloid, radio, Spotify. I can't reconnect and can only control with old app on PC. I hate your company 

18/10/24. My Windows controller has just updated and now access to Tidal is broken :-( It can search for artists and songs but not albums or playlists! To play an album, I have to search for a track and then the album appears and I can play tracks one by one but not the album as a whole. Other services (e.g. Plex) work OK. - and the Android app is working. Mark Enderby

For many years i have been able to play music from my desktop PC music library then about a year ago after some updates the music library stopped playing music.  I tried all the normal permission and sharing and setting up new music folders directly on C drive or other remote drives all with permissions correct.Setting up new music folder works and sync music library works but syncs in about 3 seconds and no music to be seen via the app. The same music folders and files are syncing without any problems on my work system and plays music through S1 system no problem. Please advise what i can do to solve this  Many thanksMick

I’m not able to play any streaming content. Local library is fine but everything else seems to be down. Nothing on Sonos support page. Is it just me,  Mr Internet and local network is all performing as normal.  

Since the app update, I can only get Sonos to play one song at a time.Example: head to my tracks in my collection on tidal, select a track, it plays the song and then stops. It used to carry on playing through the list. Example 2: Search for a song or an artist, find a playlist, head to that playlist, select a song to start from and it plays the song but no more after.It used to just carry on playing.Even when you go to artist radio or song radio from another area, The same thing happens.How do I fix this?Thanks

Is the App on a phased rollout?If yes why is there no schedule here?https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/release-notes-for-sonos-software-updates?utm_source=ENsonoscommunity

As many have discovered many legacy NAS devices do not support anything other than SMB1 out of the box, and are no longer supported by their manufacturers, meaning there are no firmware of software updates. With a little digging (and some Linux knowledge), I was able to upgrade my Netgear Stora (about 12 years old) from SMB1 to SMB2 and thus get it working with the new Sonos environment. I find it surprising that I had to do this, given the large number of legacy NAS devices out there used for years by many happy Sonos customers (until now), even my shiny new Macbook Air, can use SMB1 to connect to such devices. Anyway that’s another issue.You need to have some technical Linux knowledge to do the following, it’s all done via a ssh session to the NAS.Here’s what I did. (Big thanks to the guys at OpenStora for documenting most of this.)Get root access, and enable SSH, as most of these domestic NAS units do not provide a command line

How do I connect my Chromebook music library to my Soson 1 app. Had to keep Sonos 1 because of all Sonos 1 speakers I have.

Live radio stations keep disappearing and stop - start every time there is an app update. Cannot connect to tuner and in Australia TuneIn costs $$ - has Sonos completely disabled live radio?

FYI No release notes. If you’ve updated is it safe to do so?

I cannot get the Sonos App to open on my android phone.  I have unistalled, restarted my phone, reinstalled and still it sits at the opening black Sonos screen and goes no further.  I have uninstalled the app again, turned the phone off, restarted, reinstalled the app and still it does not work.Any suggestions?  I just want to be able to connect my Sonos One SL to the new WIFI connection.  Currently on Android Oxygen OS 11.1.10.10.AC01BA

As topic. The Android phone app works as expected, e.g.If I search for “A State of Trance” under albums then it displays 1 album (comprising 5 discs) from my library (on my network share) and I can play that whole album. Same for the “Random” album, a Gary Numan tribute album comprising multiple artists. However, in the Windows app, under albums it presents as individual tracks. Using the web app is not an option of course because that doesn’t even support my own libraries at all, only streaming services.

It seems not possible to have new songs just released by 1 music service to have them play all at the same volume level.  The excuse because the songs were from original cd’s, MP3’s… is just not holding up anymore.Is Sonos going to solve this problem please?  It’s terribly annoying.Thank you
