Filter for explicit songs from the music library / services

Hello, Sonos does not currently have a way to filter out explicit songs or activate parental controls. However, if this is something you'd like to see from Sonos in the future, I can change this topic to an Idea thread so others can comment and +1 a request for such a feature.
First wanna say, WOW! I love the whole Sonos experience. We currently own 2 "Play 5" and 4 "Play 1". We will invents ally grow our collection to Play bar and 2 "Play 3".

On that note, I wish there was an option to choose wether some station can include/exclude "explicit content". I'm listening to a Songza station that has explicit I content every other song. I love Songza and Pandora but when my kids are around, I wish I could exclude explicit content.

Thank you and looking forward to be able to link the speakers wirelessly to me outdoor projector....

I would rather not having Sonos spend precious resources on this issue. Parental responsibilities should not be laid upon Sonos.

I disagree, they sell a service when you buy the hardware. I believe this service could & should offer much more functionality, other streaming media services provide adult content filtering. I'd like to see devices locked to certain user accounts too...i.e. proper zone controls, hardware is great, software feels neglected.

I also disagree with Beynym.

Yes parental responsibilities are mine, which is why I use the 'filter explicit' features directly on the music services I use. It's also not just about parental responsibilities, it extends to having friends over and often even when I'm by myself. I'm just asking that those same features that generally already exist, are made available in the Sonos software. It shouldn't take a huge amount of resources, particularly if the filters are already exposed in the APIs of the various services.

+1 to David Fisher.. Software is improving, but needs more work.

As an individual with no kids, I would probably agree with you. However, as a mother of three children, I'm inclined to disagree. I understand as parents we have responsibilities. What inspired me to buy Sonos system in the first place is to introduce music in the household to steer kids away from TV and video games. Get them inspired by past and current CULTURE. There are great songs out there that have both non-explicit and explicit versions. I'm not one to want my kids to listen to Christian music(no offense to religious listeners) non stop, but I don't feel it is necessary to have songs with cursing in it. For example, I was listening to the 90's era on Songza (great flash back, songs represented the era well) but lots of them had cursing in it. It sucked to have to skip over the songs and I know most of those songs had radio versions. The point of listening to music is to stream it like a radio without commercials. Pandora and Sonza have the option, I don't think it would take much to implement the same idea in the Sonos system. We live in a world that has limited set standards. As parents we are responsible to teach our kids right and wrong. We are responsible to teach them respect, curtesy, discipline, integrity, etc. but each industry, music, TV, video games, and movies need to do there part too. I'm not saying music should be rated like movies but a simple option to turn on/off explicit I content. That's just my individual opinion 😉

I have found Songza has many radio edit options under their "Children genre" . This is working for now. 
love our sonos. Could not go without!!!
True, but the settings does not translate to Sonos, right?

No offense, Benhym, but that is an ignorant statement, and I cannot even believe that the comment garnered 26 "likes" here on the forum! [Edit - it looks like his comment did not receive any likes.  He has received 26 total likes from his 115 total posts.  My bad.]

I have over 15,000 songs in my personal music library, so I do not need or use any of the music services that Sonos supports.  However, I would never go so far as to say Sonos should not spend "precious resources" on an issue related to services that so many people clearly want and use.  Of course Sonos should support services that it users want, after all we all spent a lot of hard earned money on purchasing their product.

I believe there is clearly a critical mass of users who want, desire, and need parental controls on the Sonos system.  I like to occasionally relive my glory days and listen to explicit songs.  I wait until appropriate times with appropriately mature people before doing so.  However, with the current Sonos supported features, my 7 year old can scroll through the same library and see ALL of my song titles.  I don't want my 7 year old even reading "F*ck the Police", much less playing it! 

Why should I have to delete songs from my music library that I enjoy at the right time and situation just to ensure that my Sonos system no longer displays these song titles to my kids?

Sonos - You need to listen, and you need to give your entire customer base consideration for such a critical feature.

To me, this should be left up to individual services to provide, not the hardware makers..

The music services do have settings to filter content but Sonos does not respect the settings. I have the Google Play Music setting to block explicit lyrics but Sonos plays the explicit content anyway.

SUCKS BIG TIME!

SONOS - you need to fix this.

Sonos - This is a much needed feature for many users.

Please can you provide us with an update.

Hi OmegaJJH,

We don't have any updates to share right now about adding an explicit content filter. We'll log your interest though.
