Play different music in different rooms

To play different music on different Sonos speakers, you just need to select what you want each speaker to play and group the speakers you want to play the same music together. Once grouped, you can select what you want each group of speakers, or singular speaker to play.

As mentioned above, speakers are accessed by tapping the Systems tab at the bottom of the app. From here you can group them, or ungroup them.

 

this seems to no longer work. i have tried to find a solution on here  but to no avail, any ideas/ solution from anyone would be appreciated

Maybe as a starting place try selecting a different Sonos Radio station for each speaker. 

If that works it isn’t your hardware causing the issue but something music service related.

I have an arc + sub in my living room for my main entertainment center. Out on the patio I have an Sonos amp running a set of outdoor passive speakers (non Sonos)

 

Is it possible to play different media on each set? Say a football game on the soundbar and music on the amp powered speakers? I can play the same media on both, just can’t figure out how to play different media.

I had the same problem, however my problem was I had S1 & S2 units on my system. If I was playing something from Spotify on S1 system then tried to play something else from Spotify on the S2 system, the S1 unit would stop playing and vis-versa.  Hope this makes sense and was helpful.

That is standard Spotify behavior: you can only use an account on one Sonos system.
