Controllers & Music Services

I want a bar/pub jukebox feel for my home and want to link my sonos speakers to it. Anyone have a home jukebox software that would work with sonos? I want a simple jukebox software/ app for party guests so they don't have to go with features like: party-mode (only music jukebox view-able, can't access rest of computer with out password) easy music select buttons (like a restaurant, pub jukebox) Add song to queue by selecting a song. When nothing in selected song queue to play then play a master playlist. etc...

I have 6418 tracks from Amazon in an unsaved queue and am trying to save it as a playlist. When I try this I get the following message: "Sonos doesn't have enough free space left to save the queue. Remove old saved playlists or queues in other rooms, and try again" I have cleared out all other queues in the system without success. I recall something about Sonos having an overall limit of 10,000 tracks for all playlists. However, I only have one other playlist that totals 1311 tracks so this would not hit this limit. I'm aware of the 500 track limit when adding Amazon tracks to a playlist but was hoping this would be a workaround. Has anyone else encountered this issue and/or found a remedy? Thanks.

I will have 2 semi connected rooms to spread music through. If room 1 includes 6 Sonos 1's and 2 8 Ohm wired speakers, and room 2 contained 4 8 Ohm wired speakers it seems that I would also purchase 2 Connect Amps (for the 6 wired speakers. I am trying to envision how the volume control would be handled through the app. The music source would always be the same in both rooms, but at times I "may": 1) need the volume of room 1 different from room 2. I think that is done by "grouping" or assigning "rooms" (2) which may give me 2 volume slider bars??? 2) I am curious if I would be able to adjust the volume of either individual speakers or pairs of speakers? I would imagine so at least with the most basic setups, but I don't know if throwing in the wired speakers and 2 groups or rooms limits my volume control options (for question 1 and/or 2). thanks, without ever using the system it is difficult for me to envision the functionality.

Hello, I am a premium subscriber of both Spotify and Musixmatch.. I have 2 ways to decide what to play on my Sonos speakers. 1) I can use the Sonos controller App (iOS or MacOS) 2) I can use the Spotify app (iOS or MacOS) through Spotify Connect This scenario works very fine: a) start Musixmatch app on MacOS or iOS b) start Spotify on iOS or MacOS c) play a song and using Spotify Connect instruct the Sonos speaker to take over the song d) Lyrics shows nicely on Musixmatch app on MacOS and iOS This scenario fails: a) start Musixmatch app on MacOS or iOS b) start Sonos controller on iOS or MacOS c) play a spotify song and using Sonos controller. d) Neither the Musixmatch MacOS or iOS reacts to the song being played. Anybody have the same setup that can confirm the problem? Any idea who should address the problem? Sonos Spotify Musixmatch? Regards

I am installing Sonos at another home that I own that is on a different WIFI. Do I need to use a totally different cellphone account as a controller?

Anyone know how to do factory reset for sonos one?

There are a couple threads already related to my question, but no solid fix, or logical answer. I want to click on album view, so that I can see the album art, but sort the albums by artist name. for instance when I click on album, I want to see AC/DC and all of their albums, then Aerosmith and their albums, then the Beatles and their albums... etc... A to Z by artist, but showing the album and cover art for each album. This is how iTunes sorts albums and it is by far the best way possible to view a massive music collection. I spent a lot of money on my Sonos system and this seems like it should be a pretty simple software fix. I absolutely love everything about Sonos, but this is making me very upset! Please help...

My shuffle and repeat songs icons are greyed out and I cannot use these functions. I am using a MacBook Pro. I've never had this problem before. Any ideas on how to fix this? I like to shuffle my playlists.

Hi All... I just installed the Sonos controller on my new iPhone 8. First time I have ever had an iOS device. When I connected the Sonos app to Spotify, it automatically connected to an account (required no login). Unfortunately it connected to the wrong account. It appears to be my son's Spotify account. I have never logged into his account before, ever, on any device I own so not sure why it would connect to his. I also connected to Pandora and it found my Pandora account without issue (never required a login) here either. I have the Spotify app installed on the same device and it is logged into my account correctly. I cannot find a setting anywhere to change this. Any help would be appreciated.

The latest update work like crap. Please fix it!

It used to be you could open the sonos app and use your volume hard buttons to control volume. This now seems to be disabled and you can only do it with the GUI slider. I hope that's not a permanent change? The hard button control is hands down the easiest way to control you system volume without having to use two hands and stare at the screen. In my sonos system sales I'm always showing people the hard button volume and everyone loves it. Please bring it back!!!! Ok. So I just tested further. It looks like ver 4.3 on iPhone 5 the hard buttons still work. Ver 4.3 on iPhone 5s the buttons are not working. Will test iphone when I get home.

I tried to search the community, but was not finding anything. My boss and I both have Sonos Play:1 speakers. Mine is not Alexa/Echo enabled, and I am not sure if hers is. She just sent me a message that my music (Sonos streaming radio) is playing through her speaker and she can't get her own items to play. How do I either 1) completely disconnect and just take the speaker home, or 2) figure out how to allow us to have independent streams? Thanks!

I guess this has come up before but when I find an album I want to add I have to put it into play mode then I can "save" and edit the album or add the artist name so far so good, how can I do this without having to put into play mode? If i am listening to music and want to add albums I cant without playing them. Yes I can add playlist but that creates a new playlist each time I just want a each album listed individual. Hope this makes sense.

For reference, I use Google Music... Quick question: when I'm viewing a playlist (so in a specific playlist, not just viewing all of my playlists), to the upper right I get the three dot menu option that allows me to "play now", "play next", "add to end of queue", etc. I get six useful options. If I'm in a genre, and view a specific genre, and click that same menu option, all I get is the option to "Add to My Sonos." It doesn't allow me to add songs to a queue or to create quick and easy playlists. Why not give that same functionality that I get from my playlists view to genres, artists, etc.? Is this simply an oversight that can be corrected?

Hi, could you please help me to remove myself from the beta program? I've tried the advice and removed myself off the beta website and reinstalled the app, but it still won't allow me to update without an email, which I never seem to receive. Any help would be appreciated

Exactly as the title suggests. IPhone running the latest IOS, sonos app updated this morning, still can't use trueplay.

Sometimes when i leave my house i forgot to stop the music playing. Is it a option that when your wifi disconnects while your music is playing, you get a alert. You can turnback to house and stop the music.

OK, what am I missing, I'm sure to add a Sonos Playlist to the Favourites menu you simply accessed the menu at the end of the line and choose 'Add to Favourites'? I now can't see how to do it from anywhere in the desktop controller or Android app. There is now an 'Add to Sonos Playlist' option (as shown in the attachment) which makes no sense as it is a Playlist (?!), but otherwise I'm either going senile, mad or both. Can someone please direct me?

Can't seem to use desktop controller on Mac or iPad when my iPhone is out of the house. Message states my iPhone isn't found. Have i set the other controller apps up incorrectly?

I've had a Sonos system for a couple of months now, and already, "my Sonos" will no longer hold any more albums or playlists. Is there a simple work-around for this problem? Is that what "My Cloud Home" and "Plex" are for, since both are add-on services for Sonos?

Hi For Some Reason When Im Turning Up My Sonos 5.1 Surround System I Push The Volume Button Up Once Then The Sonos System Turns All The Way Up Then I Try Turning It Down It Stays All The Way Up I Would Have To Physically Walk To My Sonos Devices To Turn Them Down Or On The App An I Find That To Be Very Annoying How Do I Fix This Problem

I have been using a Play 5 with a Chromecast audio in the aux input to cast audio from my Android phone for a while now, recently casting services like Spotify and iplayer have stopped working - possibly because Google Chrome / Spotify / Sonos app are fighting for control? To give a couple of examples: If I open the Spotify app I can cast to the Sonos but after a little while control via the Spotify app stops working (the audio keeps playing but I am unable to play / pause etc) if I try to play a new track via Spotify it either plays through my phone or gives a message that another device is already casting and force quitting the Spotify app seems to be the only solution. In a similar way casting from the iPlayer radio app works for a few seconds but then the audio disappears, this time I can get audio control back by going into Sonos and stopping / starting the line in source. I have a feeling that this is all caused by a recent update to google home as this is now

So Spence says sonos are thinking of making sonos updates automatic. Maybe it was all the emails he got over the death of the Cr100 Most of my other stuff does auto updates, skyQ, google home, LG tv you can toggle on or off. (Not playstation4 you still have to agree.) Auto updatest ensures only 1 version of the software is being used out there, latest security patches, easier support etc etc . People asked for a legacy version for their Cr100, and some have tried to lock down to keep them working. That would not be as easy with auto updates, as sonos could in effect sneak them out at the dead of night. With auto updates, Sonos could ensure all current customers could always buy new stuff, and not isolate themselves. On the down side, you would come home one day and find your controller no longer is supported, and no longer works as there was an update while you were out the house.

Hi, I have recently installed the sonos app on my Samsung g7. It all works great except when I want to play music from my device: no file appear, even when I have mp3 files in my Music folder. I have tried other location but nothing works. I have also removed and reinstalled the app and it didn't work eighter. Thanks for your help!

Sonos is missing a CRUCIAL feature that really lessens the quality of the Sonos experience. By using the Sonos app on a smart phone, it is not possible to play all songs from an artist without manually going in and adding all the albums to the end of the playlist queue. This has been confirmed by a Sonos rep. A huuuge lack and a loss that should be rectified ASAP.
