Controllers & Music Services

I created a Playlist but when a song is playing that I want to add and I tap : I don't get "ADD TO PLAYLIST " or any indication of being able to add it anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to get a Sonos controller widget into the Notification Center on iOS for volume and play/pause/skip/back controls? This would avoid having to always open the sonos app and would be so awesome!

I have just read that Sonos is dropping the “on this iPhone” feature. This is deeply concerning to me because it will effectively render my two Sonos Play 1’s useless. I don’t subscribe to a subscription service because I like to own my music and support my local record store. Not being able to play from a phone will be so inconvenient. I don’t want to power up my laptop every time I want to listen to music throughout the house. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

My Sonos kepts disconnecting from Spotify from all devices. From my MAC laptop it asked me to upgrade but I keep getting a Error 1100, which is not listed in the FAQ's. I can not seem to solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve

The icon is missing from the top of the screen in the notification area on a galaxy S8 that means I have to open the app to pause, go to next track etc Until yesterday, swiping down from the top of the screen would show a mini Sonos with the album cover, pause, next track Running One UI version 1.0, Android version 9 In Sonos settings, all the following are ON: Show notifications, Show lock screen controls, Allow vol on home screen, show app shortcuts. How do I get it back?

my Sonos app wont run on the mac - message software is outdated

Hi. I'm probably missing something simple here so apologies in advance but im trying to link Amazon Music to my Sonos System but can't find it listed in "Add Music Services". This is not an Amazon prime streaming account but the basic music that I've bought and downloaded. The Amazon music app is installed and working fine. I'm going to around in circles trying to use the online guides so any assistance great fully received.

Greetings to the developer. Could you tell us what's new in the updated 10.3? Thank you

I've got a pair of Sonos One speakers, been using them in separate rooms but set as a group for about a year now. I'm moving them into 1 room and I want to make them a stereo pair. When I go into More > Settings, then tap Room Settings, nothing happens. The item is in the menu, but it won't go to the page. I checked my software version, both speakers and the android device are at 10.3, build 51166240. I've tried restarting my router and the speakers, but it hasn't helped.

I recently received a message that "On This Phone" is being eliminated. How will I be able to play songs from my playlists on my Iphone?

Dear Sonos Please pay me £3.99 for the SonoPad software I've just had to buy because you've made my 9.3.5 iPad useless with your own app!!!!!!!! Are you serious? You break your own app for users of older tech controllers!?!? Utter madness! I'm already not purchasing further Sonos until you make voice playback of local library possible through a voice assistant. Mind boggles. Used to be a great company. Going down whilst others are coming up 😞

Until this week, the Sonos app on my Android phone would show basic controls on the Android lock screen. Pause, FFWD, and details of what was playing. This was despite my Android lock screen being set to not show 'sensitive' alerts (things like email content, etc). With the latest controller updates this week, that's no longer the case - now the lock screen just shows "Sonos, Received 1 notification". My question is: not knowing the details of how things are classified as 'sensitive' or not, is there a setting I'm missing that would revert that back to how it was before? Other than just setting Android to 'show all notifications on lock screen', of course

Hi, My sonos app was not working. I re-entered spotify and installed the latest update on my iphone and it is still not working:

I replaced my MacBook Pro mechanical hard disk with a SSD drive. How do I re-installs the Sonos app? I'm running High Sierra. My iPhone and iPad app work fine but want to also run Sonos from my MacBook Pro. Any tips, tricks or traps I should know about? I did some searching and couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for the help.

We have had SONOS since 2013 and now have 8 speakers. Initially we used iTunes as the music library software, but kept having speakers drop, skipping when music was playing (25-30 seconds), and other problems. An IT guy has been working with us sporadically for more than a year (!) to try to sort this out. He recommended Plex, but I dislike the inability to use multiple genres (or any genres if not on the PC), and the emphasis on videos, TV and streaming, none of which interests us. And creating playlists is possible only on the desktop, not on an iPad. More recently, he put us on a trial run of Roon, but it still drops the first 20 seconds or so of songs, and unilaterally decides to skip songs we've placed into the queue. And at $499, it just isn't all we are looking for. (Plus, how can one play "Name that Tune" when the first 20 seconds are MIA?) I also tried Bliss, but it doesn't work well in Android as music management software. We use Android phones and iPads in various locati

is there going to be option to play music direct from android devices rather than have an external source?

Is it possible to add songs to Apple Music playlists from the Sonos controller?

Does anyone know if there is a way to use a tablet or phone as a Sonos controller only. i like the idea of using my old IPad just to control the Sonos without the faff of having to load up the app etc ? I know you can lock it into Sonos mode but this just goes back to the standard I pad menu once you unlock to shutdown .

I had a professional service install my Sonos system since they had to run power cables inside a wall. I am trying to "balance" the Play 1's for surround/Eq. I open the app, go to "more, settings, room settings. Nothing happens.Nothing happens when I select Add a speaker or sub. Is it possible for these settings to be locked out? Thanks.

I am trying to use a CR100 that I've not used for a long time. When I try to connect it to my system, it recognises when I press the two buttons on the nearest player, I goes the the Connecting. Please wait. This can take a few minutes Then This controller was unable to connect to a Sonos component. Please try again (1). I'm wondering if it's an issue with the software being out of date. My other CR100 which has been in use all along works fine. This one's been in the attic for a while. Grateful for any ideas! Thanks Patrick

I've used Sonos for several years now and have Pandora as my primary source of music throughout the system. If I'm on a Pandora station, lets say "Donald Fagen", like all of the Pandora stations, it scrambles his songs and others in that same genre. I can use the thumbs up-thumbs down to somewhat control what I want to here. Can I save specific songs that I hear to a playlist or queue somehow?

Is there any way to switch back to listening to the tv after listening to music without your phone? If someone asks Alexa to play music, then wants to watch tv, you have to go find your phone to switch it back to TV. Doesn’t seem smart.

I went into the app yesterday and made some changes to the sub and eq settings. I gave it a little too much bass, so I went in today to change the settings again, and the "Room Settings" menu has totally disappeared. I tried on my ipad, iphone and windows app, and it's the same across the board. Any idea what happened?

I cannot find a way to completely remove a song that I don't want to hear again.

The volume is always louder for television commercials and it's annoying when I'm watching something with infrequent bass and then there is a commercial with a lot of perpetual bass. Can Sonos create a feature to automatically detect commercials and temporarily lower/mute the volume? I live in a condo and my neighbors know when my sub is on. When I'm watching a quite movie, stand up comedy or sports I like to keep my sub on and get intricate rounded lows — this generally doesn't bother my neighbors. Enter intense commercial with music in the backgound — this definitely bothers my neighbors. This feature can fit neatly under the TV Setup tab 🙂
