Controllers & Music Services

Trying to stop everyone logging in and switching the play list, wondering if there is any way to put a password on the system so only those with the code can access the system

My desktop goes to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity (so far, so good). But when it wakes up, the Sonos Contoller for PC (ver 8.2.2) will not reconnect to my Sonos Connect. I have to close and restart it the application. The system is working fine in all other regards. This just a bit annoying.. it would be better if it could rescan the network without having to re-launch it, once the PC wakes up.

Hi everybody, My sonos apps on all my devices keeps shutting down from time to time, has anyone else been having this problem the last few weeks

Sonos Software is so complicate and non intuitive that I'm alwas afraid to touch anything when I got something Working ! Since a few month I use three Play 1 Не is Shuffle all from My Music folder on WDMyclout the two other are Connected to the Same radio Station Now I want to change the Music source for one of the station. Of course this sounds to be very difficult and impossible to do from My Android Mobile App So I go to my Desktop App and Impossible to find or remember how to do it If I right click on the selected Station I have no Menu option to select another Music Source I see so many complains about Sonos Software awfull design that I can not understand why nobody decide to make something better with true Ergonomic Designer and not with geeks sparsing feature here and there with their own tecno focus ! I thing that some consider that the power of a sofware reside in it's difficlty to use or understand !

I use Spotify and Google Music through Sonos. No local media. I assume this is the way everyone is going or will be going. When playing on Sonos you get the option to Thumbs Up/Down a song as it's playing and it then says that will affect recommendations. But how will it? Is that solely for Sonos and local media or does it affect your Spotify/Google Music recommendations? I thumbed up a song through Sonos thinking it might mirror the thumbs up in Google Music but it didn't. So what did it do? Am I right in thinking nothing at all? If it essentially does nothing for streaming users then can it be changed so a thumbs up/down in Sonos will mirror on the streaming service?

I have noticed that the app on my phone, my wife's phone, the iPad and even the iMac has intermittent connection issues. Sometime it discovers the Sonos system and sometimes it does not. I discovered this today when I was trying to add two new Play1 speakers that I just received. To date I have not be able to add the play1's to the system. I have tried the following: 1.) Reboot router 2.) Power down router 3.) Delete app and reinstall Pretty frustrated at this point.

Trying to find out if it's possible to play a (shuffled) playlist AFTER a song that is currently playing. Right now, it seems that if I choose to shuffle a playlist, there isn't a "Play Next" option and will cut-off the song currently playing.

Hi all, SInce I updated my laptop to windows 10 the sonos app won't work. I have tried to uninstall it and restart but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks

I have an Echo Dot, Harmony Hub and multiple Sonos boxes. My set is Tv on the wall, receiver, apple tv, dvd, cable box and sonos connect boxes in connected to receiver closet. My sonos connect boxes are zones, living room, sunroom, office, bedroom and a connect amp in the lounge. Once i installed my echo dot, it recognizes all the zones. Harmony app installed and I can't get it to move to sonos so i can play music. Also tv does not turn on or off with Dot but it does lock up the Harmony Remote until I push help key. Thoughts or clarifying questions?

Please explain to me why, after several years and many updates, I still can't sort a playlist by song title and/or artist. This is such a basic feature of every other music manager I've ever seen. Why hasn't Sonos added this feathre?

First thing I'd like to state is that the Airplay device works with a standard speaker connected via a jack to my Airplay Express. I have configured a Sonos Connect called "Airplay", I have connected a Jack from airplay to RCA on the IN on the Sonos Connect. In my environment I also have 3 rooms configured, Kitchen (Sonos Connect -> Amp -> ceiling speakers), Living Room (Playbar and Play:1 x2) and Bedroom (Play3). I want to be able to play music from my iPhone over Airplay to the "Kitchen", I have configured as shown in the screenshot. However every time I close the tab to see if the config has been applied I get an exclamation mark and it doesn't work (see other screenshot). Am I missing something? Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Do you (Sonos) have any plans on introducing a Jukebox-mode to the Sonos-system. I guess a lot of users have tried having a party with a well prepared playlist blown to pieces by guests adding tracks to play next. I would like a mode where users where only able to ADD to queue...

Is it possible to bring my SONOS Play:1 with me to my college dorm room, using my laptop?

The story is I have a very large music collection. I have all my music on a stand alone 3 TB Synology drive. Sonos is lynced to this one music folder. I update it but things are missing. Whole bands are missing. 9 Out Of 10 cds are missing from an artist. And it’s not just towards the end. This is in the B’s and E’s. I did read something up a 65,000 song limit but I thought the way I read it that was like through iTunes, not something like a Synology working off it’s own server, so to speak. Is there a fix? If so how? Thanks. Extremely frustrated. And don’t understand why this should be a problem.

Hi all If I am listening to music but searching for albums to add to my Sonos playlist from Spotify it won't let me add that album as the "done" button is greyed out? I can only add an album if I am playing it. Am I missing something?

How do you disable your daily Sonos alarm when you're away from your home?

Hi, I've just purchased a Sonos 3 and a Kindle Fire 8 HD to control it with. The trouble is the Kindle loses the connection to the Sonos regularly which is really annoying. This doesn't happen using either an iPhone or Samsung S7. I've connected the Sonos via ethernet and wirelessly and still get the same problem. Any ideas what the problem might be?

I used to be able to select my favorite stations, podcasts, etc from the Favorites tab. Has that gone away or am I just not looking hard enough? Using the app on my Android phone, hanging on to the older desktop version as long as I can. PS the white backgrounds are NOT an improvement.

Hi all, is there a way (automation) to disable WLAN of the speaker in case he have a LAN connection? KR Stephan

Without going in discussion on if the new app is good or bad... we have to deal with it. But i am looking for the genres list. When you search for a playlist or a radiostation in the old app there was a list with suggestions. Now you only have a blanc search field. Is this list still hidden somewhere?

Hi. Would it be possible to make it so you can adjust the eq sliders ect by tapping the plus and minus as i find the current method frustrating when dialing in my sound. Also an increase in the resolution of the controls would be nice too.

We have several different devices that we are using in the home to access sonos, including a samsung phone, ipad and an iphone. The only issue is with the iphone. When the sonos was initially setup 2 weeks ago there were no problems. Now when I go to the music services on the iphone it can't display any music and it says there is a network error. However, there is no network error and all the other controllers have no issues playing the music through the sonos one in our house speakers.

I want to search and save new Spotify playlists on my Sonos app. Every time I click on save as a Spotify playlist it flashes the screen for me to save a new playlist but then goes right to my playlists. This option only allows me to save the new playlist to an existing one!

Once Google Assistance becomes available on Sonos, should it be able to use Play:1 speakers? Also I would think if you own a Android cell phone it should be able to emulate a Google Home Mini. Comments welcomed!

Hi. I have Sonos Play 5 which has been working well for a while. I moved place and had to setup the system again. Once I have set up and trying to add music folders to my library I am getting Error 900. I tried the solution given in the FAQ section of editing the registry but having done this 2 times and reinstalled the player I am still unable to add the folders to the library. Went through the forums and can't find a single solution for the problem across multiple threads. Need this to use my device. Please help
