Controllers & Music Services

Boa noite, tenho uma cx play 3 e vez por outra ela para de se conectar ao meu wi-fi, já tentei várias vezes mas diz: produto não encontrado 

Do you know if it’s planned, that Sonos App let control volume of speaker again through iPhone volume buttons?I did read, that it is not possible anymore, because of Apple’s decision. But I am wondering, why I can control the volume of my Bose SoundTouch Series 2 WiFi speaker in the Bose app with the iPhone volume buttons. It’s the same, isn’t it? The Bose app itself also does not play music and no AirPlay or Bluetooth is used.

When trying to delete a Sonos Music Library song or album from the shared folder on my PC so they no longer appear in my Music Library and are no longer on my hard drive, which related files do I delete? I would guess I need to delete the flac, jpg, log and cue files. Is that correct? And to delete an entire album, do I just delete all the files related to all the songs in that album? 

I’ve linked to my Apple Music library, but am having problems with playlists.   The playlists appear as weird long names and there are hundreds of them (for example:  P876360113-As95196478_audio_en_gr256_mp4).  I’ve made sure I include the folder share where Apple Music library is and also I’ve manually exported the library to XML format where the music files are kept, but I can’t seem to get it to work.    

With so many streaming platforms available, which ones work best with Sonos in terms of quality, compatibility, and features? Let’s compare services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and others to see which offers the best experience.

I’m new to the Community, as I’m trying to find a solution to a long time problem. I can’t see an answer when I search the Community, so here’s the problem.I tend to play direct from Spotify to my Sonos system. I’ve had a problem for some months now that sometimes tracks just repeat themselves - could be from a playlist or an album, but basically just repeats track. There’s some weird stuff going on, as what’s on screen is ‘stuck’ - so looks like it’s halfway through playing a song, but actually it’s moved on to playing the song again.I don’t have this problem with Spotify playing to headphones / car, just to Sonos speakers. And when I play from within the Sonos app, not a problem either.I have had a few other problems (speakers dropping off the system, needing a reset to rejoin the system) but I’ve been able to fix these.I tried Spotify support, thinking may be a Spotify rather than Sonos issue - their solution was to uninstall and reinstall Spotify app, which worked for about a day b

I have been having an issue for months where during every third song while streaming Apple Music, Dolby Atmos clicks off and the song reverts to just stereo. I either have to pause the song and restart or back the song up to the beginning to re-enable Atmos. I can’t believe the engineers aren’t aware of this issue. It is extremely aggravating. It’s always something with this app.  I have Arc Ultra, Era 300’s, and Sub gen 3.

Title says it all.

So after months of misery are things looking up? I did practically a full day of changing tracks, adding tracks, pausing, adjusting volume, etc like the good old days yesterday. Obviously I didn’t want to get too excited but after playing with it again today for a few hours and still things working as they should I’ve got a spring in my step and life is seemingly getting better 😂I’m not exactly sure when or if indeed an update has sorted things because I’d given up on it and stopped trying to use it, I’ve not done anything different on my end so fingers crossed. 🙏🏼 

Hi, please advise i have ussue with sonos app unable to sign in as the system owner, tried everything, reinstall the app, log out  

AirPlay works fine on both devices.If I try to play music on the Sonos App with Apple Music, the Era100 works perfectly (I also get the Lossless resolution symbol). But if I try to play with the Arc, I get a message saying that “it was not possible to play the selected song, retry” and skips to the next song (and get the same message again). How can I solve this? I really wanted to make use of the Dolby Atmos feature. 

In the last day or two, I have been seeing intermittent delays in syncing Apple Music playlists to the Sonos app’s Apple Music playlist view.   At one point,  it takes hours for a playlist to sync, and, later, it syncs instantly.     Notes: This is not related to the Music Library function, which I can’t set up right now, anyway, for unknown reasons. I have seen these delays with several small test playlists I have no trouble seeing pre-existing Apple playlists Spotify playlist and album syncing works perfectly.Has anybody run into this particular problem and seen the problem fix itself, or been able to fix it definitively?   Comments from Sonos on the reliability of Apple servers are welcome.   Thanks.

How do I create an account to my wife? Moderator Note: Modified title in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Hi all , is there a way of checking if all my speakers are connected via Sonos Net in the app ?? My beam gen 2 is connected via ethernet, can't seem to see in the app if it says connected via Sonos Net, thanks 

I’d like to request that the designers take another look at the home screen on the app and combine Sources and Services into one horizontally scrollable list. To me the Services are all just music sources and its such a waste of screen space to see Music Library and Line In (when it shows up!)  shown on their own.  I would like to suggest that you combine these into one line and then use the space created to have the system component list expanded as small horizontally scrollable list of icons to select / control your component(s).   The rationale for this is that the very first thing i want to do is select the speaker(s) I want to control.

Can I use the app on my Android device, and Airplay on an iPhone at the same time? I have multiple speakers in my system, I would like to play content on one speaker using the app, my wife would like to play different content on another speaker using Airplay… at the same time. So far we can’t figure out how to make this work.

I have not updated Sonos since before the May update, and my NAS music library access & functionality is great (as it has been before & after moving my personal music files from old NAS to new NAS in 2021).Please let me know if you (customers) are still having Music Library issues after post May updates?  And your opinion on whether I should update or continue waiting?  thx

Hi Would it be possible possible to show meta data on the now playing screen, or an advanced view accessed from that screen?So things like the file type, bit rate, year, genre etc. Competitors such as Wiim have this as standard and it's a very useful feature. The vaguely remember it was previously available on Sonos too, in an earlier version, but I might be wrong. Thank you. 

I am a HUGE Sonos fan, and I am concerned that Sonos still does not support Apple Silicon for a desktop install on Mac.  Apple released Apple Silicon for MacBook Pro back in November of 2020, so it has been 4 years!I see Sonos as a cutting-edge technology company, so not recompiling to allow a native Apple Silicon experience is very disappointing.  I waited on upgrading my laptop to an Apple Silicon processor to avoid having to use the emulation software (Rosetta).  All of my software is running natively on Apple Silicon. Sonos is the only product that has not made the effort after 4 years to update to a natively supported Apple Silicon application.I am now using the web app, which is very slow to respond to commands/actions and not as good as the desktop app.  Why is this a native app for Apple Silicon that is not an option today?  

Heard from an industry insider Sonos is planning a paywall for all but the basic app features (once the app actually works).

Sonos is the ONLY app that I cannot control from outside my home wifi. I all I want to do is deactivate a couple of alarms that I forgot to do before I left on vacation. I can access my door locks and alarm but not even change a alarm away from home. 

Are we getting the possibility of generating new and editing existing playlists soon?I understand that it has been a priority to make the app work for people that have been hit really hard on the functionality, but really... it's been 9 month.Are Android users getting the widget functionality back also?RegardsNiels

I’m wonderingWhen I arrive home, and I am listening to Apple Music or Audacy on my phone, through my headphones or car speakers: is there a simple way to shift the music to the whole house? right now, I have to open AirPlay, select one speaker, then open S2 ad scroll down to the actively playing speaker, then open the speaker list and select play-all or whole house. thats a lot of steps, for what seems to me as a common task. also whenever playing a single speaker it’s never the one on the top of the S2 speaker list, the top is always the last inactive group session which is useless since nothing is playing there. thanks

So what exactly was the performance upgrade?In this update:This release will be gradually rolled out to users over several days. Customers can check for updates in their iOS / Android app store and download the latest version of the Sonos app once it's available to them.Reliability and performance updates Requires latest system update - 82.3-60160

I was annoyed that we now have to reauthorize our accounts all the time, but now when I request the reauthorize to take place I get “account not found”.  This is on the heels of not using the speakers for months while the last update was figured out.    can I suggest you use a sandbox environment for testing before going live with these features nobody is asking for?    Also, remove the reauthorize requirement.   Thanks!
