No more TuneIn URL streams anymore, guess I am returning my two Eras :(

Wow, I am incredibly sad that I just purchased two Sonos Eras for my husband’s birthday next week just when access to URL stations will no longer be accessible through TuneIn. My husband works from home and listens to an internet station all day on our ancient Play and I thought I’d surprise him by saving up for these two new speakers. But the new Tune In app doesn’t support this :(

I can report it is not an elegant solution, but it does work and you can name the station. 
 

Step 1:  

Open TuneIn Radio app.

Login

Choose library.  

Then Custom URL.

Enter URL and select it from list. (Must include full url)

TuneIn will open the station.

Press the heart button. 

Save as favorite using any name you choose. (You don’t need to name it the custom URL Address. 
 

Step 2:

Open Sonos app.

Go to Browse

Select TuneIn (New)

Must be connected to same account linked to TuneIn app  

Scroll to Favorites

Find your custom named station.

Long press on station  

Add to my Sonos

Update: So, it’s up and running now, service has been restored.

Two issues:

  1. No longer seem able to assign custom names to the streams even when added to Sonos Favorites
  2. Any old-service Custom URL stations that you’d added to Sonos Favorites in the old app, can’t be deleted, and appear greyed out!

Hopefully we’ll get feature parity, and the bug of greyed out stations can be fixed!
