HOW MUCH LONG BEFORE SONOS + AMAZON DOT UPDATE PLEASE ! ?

I can't seem to add Pandora. I'm using Controller for PC with Connect:AMP. I was able to add my songza and google music accounts. When I tried to add my Pandora account, it says "connecting" for a while, and then gives a "Account not found" error. I know the account exists because I can login with the same credentials on Pandora.com. I then tried to create a brand new account. That too gave the same error. Version: 5.2 (build 28183040) Hardware Version: 1.16.3.1-1

I used to be able to access my music (all in iTunes) with my Sonos controller; however, it has abruptly stopped working.  When I try to add the folder to my Music Library, I get the error message: "Unable to add the shared folder "\\AMY-PC\Music" to your Music Library (1002)."  I've seen that this is a common error and believe I have followed the steps otherwise laid out (e.g., Kaspersky firewall access).  I'm still receiving the error.  Any ideas?

Hello, I was wondering if anybody has used any volume control on individual ceiling speakers ran off Sonos Connect Amp? I currently have 2 pairs of ceiling speakers (Polk Audio RC80i) connected on either side of the amp and i would like to put a volume control inbetween to control each speaker individually? Is this possible? I am looking at the Russound ALT-126R Impedence matching volume control. Please see image for a description of what my setup looks like. I have wired my speakers in 16 Gauge speaker wire. I ask for any help i can get!! Thank you for your time. Shaun

When trying to add  Music to SONOS, I get the error "The Computer 'Pete-iMac' refused to let Sonos connect to it". I am using the following location when I get this error: /Users/peterellison/Music/iTunes However, when I specify the default location of /Users/peterellison/Music, it works fine. I need to specifically choose the iTunes folder and not the whole Music folder, since I have music production files in my Music folder, and I don't want 50,000 WAV samples being added to SONOS. Also to note, I've tried it with my Firewall off, and I have set up my Sharing setting correctly. In addition, my iMac is new. Previously I was running SONOS on Snow Leopard OSX without any issues. Now I'm on Yosemite OSX

Is there a reason the Sonos app is always running on my s5? When I force quit the app, it reboots almost immediately. Is anyone else experiencing this battery drain?

I have started having connection problems on my computer. It stop responding and is slow. It works well form I-pad or IPhone.

I recently moved in with my girlfriend and we're merging our Sonos systems (but them for her for Christmas). She had her two play 1s at 7.3. My many speakers were at 7.2. Plug it all in, and the system tries to update my 7.2 speakers. Update failed with error 30, so I tried one at a time, no luck. Tried hard wiring to router, restarting router and cable modem, tried a couple of different speakers, hard reset (holding the play button down while plugging it in), none of these things worked. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Anyone else? I am using Yonomi to connect to SONOS, but it is quite buggy... especially if I have my zones grouped, etc. I am PATIENTLY waiting for full integration from SONOS...... hoping it is soon!:D

Just walked through Target and noticed a neat little idea they implemented with a brand priduct called Fabrique. $50 wireless speakers designed to integrate strictly with Alexa. They CLEARLY side stepped Sonos, pushed them out and went on with their own more affordable systems. All speakers work in unison or you can break them up into zones like Sonos. I suspected the last few months Sonos couldnt get the deal done based on how long it was taking them but this pretty much confirms it. Sure "theu want it to be universal and adaptive to ALL AI but writing a simple app to integrate Alexa and push theupdate through shouldnt take but a blink of am eye. I was building my system based on Alexa integration but at least I know now before I invest several K's. Too bad, they are great speakers.

I have an Amazon Echo Dot but can't figure out how to play music through my Play 1s using Echo voice commands. I once installed the Yonomi Android app to do this but couldn't get the whole thing working, so I uninstaled it. Are there any step by step guides to configure Echo to work with Sonos? I have half a dozen Play 1's but no Connect box or anything like that. I don't usually have the Play 1s configured to use Sonos Net because the Play 1 unit I usually connect to the wireless router using an Ethernet cable is the one that gets moved around into other rooms when required. I believe the audio quality is not so great via Echo but I'm only looking for background music so it should be okay for my purposes.

Sonos, please stop at once this new advertising from within the sonos app. I did not buy your products so that I could receive marketing from within them. I do not want to open the sonos app and be greeted with specials about anything! By all means send an email but please stop using the app as a marketing platform or I'm dumping your brand.

Hello, Since Apple has announced AppleMusic API that will be open for developers, is the controller is going to use the new API in order to bring the same exact experience of AppleMusic on iOS to the Controller? Currently the controller is really unusable with AppleMusic due the mismatch. Thanks a lot!

It makes no sense to use only WiFi to control Sonos devices. I turn WiFi off if not really needed to avoid unnecessary harmful radiations and of course listening to music doesn't belong to the list of activities justifying going wireless. Instead of using just broadcast over the local network, why not allowing to NAT the devices and simply configure the controller application (especially mobile apps) also for accessing via the internet?

touch screen stopped working on CR 200 can this be repaired

First post, be nice! Recently received my Play:1 speaker and wanted to have a play in the house I've just moved to. Only problem is there's no Wifi yet! I used my phone as a hotspot to get the speaker and my laptop connected with the ethernet cable too. But as soon as I turned off the hotspot, it all stopped working. Is there a way to play off the laptop without internet connection? I don't really want to be using my data constantly for streaming music. Obviously if it's no possible, let me know! Thanks!

Flic has announced a Hub that will include control of Sonos and many other wireless devices. Information so far seems to show home kit , smart things lIFX and lots more. http://hub.flic.io/?refcode=lgnsirfudq

Amazon has a virtual playlist which is "Recently Added" that allows you to easily listen to your newest music. It would be nice for us to have the same sort of thing with our local music library so that I could easily grab the latest podcasts, newest songs, latest audiobook, etc into my queue.

I would like to be able to open the app and use the sonos playlists to play music when I am not home. (no sonos speaker available but maybe a bluetooth speaker) Not being able to do this makes spotify playlists almost pointless. I understand that it would be difficult to make sure you had access to all the songs in a playlist and what particular service they were from when away but it would make the appeal of making spotify playlists a little better. Even being able to access to see what songs are on a playlist would be an improvement.

I've noticed over the past few software updates that unless updates are done (eventually), functionality starts to disappear. For example, until I accept a software update, my ability to update my music library index ceases to be available on an Android controller. Only by accepting the upgrade can I see the Update Library option once more. Whilst I accept that these free upgrades can add functionality to the device I originally agreed to buy from Sonos, to manadate these changes by temporarily curtailing the existing functionality of something I own - and something that was part of a 'contract' between me and the seller - seems disingenuous. No doubt this is a common observation across all software enabled consumer devices - an maybe an activity covered in the small print somewhere (or under that 'right to continuous improvement' caveat), but I wonder what the legal position is (in the UK) for a contracted (seller-buyer) item to be changed away from that purchased at the supplier'

I have 2 Play1 and a Playbar which are great and I control them from my iPad. I can play anything from my music library and podcasts but I have apps on the iPad like BBC iPlayer which I can't stream onto my Sonos speakers. Any ideas

Can anyone please help - my SONOS system has been working fine for several years, but tonight I couldn't connect to my SONOS system from my PC. It just comes up "No existing SONOS system could be found" The boost is hard wired into my router, but it doesn't register as a device on my PC, however the PC can see all the wireless speakers. I've reloaded the software, re-powered everything etc etc... any sugestions as to what to do next? However I can connect to my SONOS system from the App on my android phone and can stream music from the net and play music files from my music library on my PC, but not from the SONOS desktop app on the PC
