I'm wondering how to use a Spotify Station as a source for an alarm. When I create a station in Spotify, e.g. an Artist Radio station, I can see it in my Sonos favourites, but I can't see my Sonos favourites as a source for the alarm. I'm sure this has been possible to do as I currently have an alarm set up in another room that's playing an artist radio station - but now I can't work out how to do it again.

Hey Guy's, I'm experiencing the following issues. I had a setup with approximately 9 devices, I want to give some device to my son. But the first problem occurred when a factory reset the boost. I'm trying to connect it in his house, but it won't connect. When I logging in my account I see the boost in my list, Is that the problem from not connecting? How to fix this, Thanks in advance Martin

Good afternoon! He became a happy owner of the SONOS system, but then there were various questions, he was insanely stunned and remained at a loss, as it was possible not to think about the possibility of playing video files directly from the computer (mine TV), if you buy stereo pair PLAY 1, you can not connect them To the computer and not only listen to streaming music through Sonos play 1 - 2 Sonos playbar Sonos SUB Sonos boost And stumbled with such a seemingly very stupid problem at first glance, I understand that it is possible to get around this problem through SONOS connect, but in fact it costs not small money, and believe me, in Russia acoustics costs 2 times more expensively than in Europe or the USA! I had to express my displeasure, because We have this kit costs about $ 3000 and imagine, I can not bring sound to this cool and smart acoustics from the application on my phone, no words!:@:@:@ The question I have is the following, am I mistaken about what I wrot

Does anyone happen to know if there is a Sonos app for the Samsung Gear S2 watch? I was considering buying one if there is an app for my sonos

Hi, I want to delete On the iPhone Playlists that I have created and no longer want, and cannot find out how to do it. On the iPhone Sonos controller the top level menu lists; Sonos Favorites, Sonos Playlists, On this iPhone, Radio by Tunein, etc. Clicking the "On this iPhone" item gets you to a next level menu; "Playlists, Artists, Albums, etc. So there are two playlists; the Sonos Playlists and the On the iPhone Playlists. I can delete entries in the Sonos Playlists but not in the On the iPhone Playlists. Deleting Sonos Playlists entries involves clicking the ... item at the top right of the screen listing the playlists which gives you the option to Edit Playlist. You select this and can then select a playlist to delete. Trying to delete entries in the On the iPhone Playlists seems impossible to do. When you select the On the iPhone Playlists option you get a list of playlist entries under a Playlists heading but there is no ... selection item at the top right.

Hi, All my Sonos nodes are physically networked using cat5e to the same internal network. How can I turn off sonos mesh wifi to reduce RF interference with my other wifi devices? Thanks

There are times that I want eliminate a speaker in my group. How is this done?

Periodically, my Sonos systems gets into a state where the volume reverts to zero (mute) whenever I try to turn it up. I think this is mostly when I am using Spotify Direct, but I am not sure about that. It has happened multiple times and I have friends with the same periodic problem. I just caught one live and took a video screen capture of it happening on my Mac. See: https://screencast.com/t/ieqhj04Gl2 Sonos diagnostic 7395506 was taken when the system was in this state. Same problem on my iPhone interface. The problem was resolved by resetting the controller from my Mac.

Hello! Visiting this thread I was wondering if some information there is outdated: https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/improve-cover-art-support-resolution-speed-image-types-and-fault-tolerance-5057783 For example it seems to me the pixel limit is no longer 1024x1024. I have an album where the embedded cover art is 1500x1500 and it is shown. However I found it often loaded really slow and sometimes not at all. However I found that reducing the filesize rather than pixelsize was more effective in making Sonos Controller read it faster. So which are the size and pixel limits nowdays? Also, is there a recommended filesize and/or pixelsize where the compromise between resolution and loading times are optimal? Or some kind of table showing the relation between loading times and filesize/pixelsize? I'd like to keep resolution high but if there's a size threshold somewhere when loading times are significantly slower I'd like to go below that limit. Also,

I am trying to change the name of the room that is showing on my app. How do I do that?

I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 on my PC and my Sonos Controller will not find my network any more :-)

According to this here https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/257365) the iPhone 7 has four microphones but the iPads have only one. Will Trueplay tuning be better if you do it via an iPhone 7?

Hi , I upgraded my Sonos to beta 7, when i look into my spotify app i can't find my 3 Sonos speakers. (I can see my other devices ) I have a Premium account with Spotify (directly bought) I have authorized Sonos and spotify.

SKINS I think it is necessary to introduce the possibility to change (or best: customize!) the SONOS controller for WINDOWS with coloured and clear SKINS. Actually it is very poor. AUDIO Depending when or "where" I play music, every time I have to do a new setting for volume, for every SONOS speaker (i have 4 Play:1, 1 Play:3, 1 Play:5, 1 Playbar + SUB). It is possible to create a "Volume settings saving"? Thank you for your attention! Mich

I have had all kinds of issues with my Sonos. First, it wouldn't find my iTunes music library. Then, not sure how, started finding it. Maybe it was when I shortened my computer name? It worked for a day or so.. Then it started not connecting to my macbook.. I submitted a question, Sonos said try to restart the Wifi. I did that and restarted the Mac and that worked for a day, day and a half. Now it's back to "can't connect to Robs-Macbook pro/music. " Once in a while I get a "1002" message but not consistently. I restarted the WiFi and my computer again and that fixed NOTHING this time.. I have done the Firewall procedures. The controller will let me add music into the que but will not allow me to play it. That's when I get the "cannot connect.." error message after a short time of (not sure what the technical name for it is..not pinwheel but..) the little thing that spins, looks spikey, basically saying it's thinking.. get one of those those on top right of controller as well as somet

I deleted my Spotify account from the Sonos app in order to add a new Spotify account (I couldn't find an easy way to change the account). But now Spotify doesn't appear as a choice under "Add Music Service". I can't find Spotify under any of my controllers, PC, other phones, etc. System Diagnostics number 7369575.

I was instructed to update my Sonos desktop controller software on my laptop running Windows XP. However, following the download I was told that my OS did not support the Sonos desktop. Is it correct that XP is not supported? Thanks. Andy

Hi all, I know from @Chris that you can lock an iOS device to just one app but would like to do this on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. If you can how do you do it and if not can I make a android widget that just displays the sonos app. I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite to solely use as a family controller.

Sonos app does not recognise podcasts downloaded on my android phone (kitkat), I've tried downloading both recommended apps Beyondpod and Pocketcasts neither work! I've also tried moving files to podcasts folder in the root . What happening sonos? This worked perfectly on my previous iphone

I have my music in ITunes on a Mac Mini. This used to work ok until 12 months ago when Sonos coul not find the music library. I have tried adding the music folder again but get the same message "Unable to add the shared folder to your Music Library (900). I am able to play online radio overmy Sonos system and play music from other devices eg from a smartphone with Sonos controller installed. I have checked my Ststem Preference > File Sharing and added the Music folder and Itunes Music folder to Shared Folders but this has not resolved the issue. Any suggestions welcome?

Hi all, new poster on here. I've just bought an Echo dot so I'm playing around with it like a mad man. However, I can't listen to the radio through the Sonos speaker I have. I can play Spotify playlists, turn it on and off, I've downloaded the Yonomi app and have added it to my skills. Can someone give me a step by step method of how to listen to the radio through my Sonos? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a Cr100 that I'm trying to add to my system and it won't connect to my system. I have a bridge directly attached to my router, with a Play 5, ZP90 and a Ipod dock using the sonos wireless system. Can anyone offer some help with this please? Many thanks Mike

I'm really struggling to see a lot of the buttons on the PC controller window. It's almost impossible to read any of the grey-on-black. I have no idea where the volume is because I can only just see the slider but not the bar. It is difficult to see most of the other buttons too because they are grey on black. Where are the accessibility settings please? I have normal vision (tested recently, no problems with anything else) and I have tried looking at my screen from various angles and tried other screens/computers (other programs are fine) so it's Sonos. This website is bad too - I can hardly see the 'find a store' or the 'sign in' on the top bar. This makes me feel like I am disabled! How on earth do partially sighted people manage with Sonos if it's nearly impossible for me? Please help. How do I choose a better more visible setting?

I'm trying to figure out how I can shuffle my entire music library located on my Nas? I've been looking at this, and so far it only looks like I can shuffle an album at a time, but would really prefer to shuffle everything.
