Controllers & Music Services

I was wondering if it is possible to export a playlist I have created. I have imported music from a CD and have a friend with Sonos who is not as familiar with how to do these kinds of things so I was wanting to send him the playlist

How do you remove a room from your system?

Hello , I've inhereted a Sonos system in the house I've moved into and I'm having a few problems, Mainly it plays in the bathroom and they sound great but it has speakers in the kitchen and I don't seem to get them to work.I'm running a sonos connect amp

Hey everyone, My iphone recently died. So I want to use my wife's iphone to connect with my Sonos Connect so we can play music from her phone. I tried everything and it's not working. Can you help?

I have 3 play1's and 1 sonos1 which controls my set up.... i am so excited about these!!! Great complex sound....crisp highs ,deep lows....i love them!!! I recently bought 2 play5's, looking for something to add to the overall experience and shake my house with a bit morw low-end power....i am sad to say that i am truly disappointed. The sound is very hollow, very unimpressive.... For the price of $500 US dollars each, i was expecting to be blown away, but instead, im feeling a bit ripped off... i think if there was a more complex EQ, instead of just treb and bass, the problem would be solved. I can tell the play5 is a beast of a speaker, she just needs a little help.... So i have 2 questions... 1. Am i using the speaker for something it wasnt built for? Is it not meant to be a stand alone? 2. ANY CHANCE OF GETTING A REAL EQ WITH A FEW MORE CHANNELS? Thank you

I love my sonos system. It's amazing. One thing that would really make my day would be a way to set the alarms remotely. I find myself often scheduling a meeting while in the office, and needing to set my morning alarm accordingly. However, as we all know the sonos app can only be used when at home. This is an issue for the alarms since if I don't set it right away, I often forget about it. Could we bring some kind of server/cloud access to the account? Even if it's very limited, I think we would all appreciate this addition

How can I play podcasts from an android phone. I have installed the apps that are supposed to work with Sonos (Pocket Casts and BeyondPod), but I can't get either to work. The Sonos instructions say that the podcasts have to be in the Podcast folder in the root directory. Is that the \storage\sdcard0\Podcasts directory? BeyondPod only lets you choose whether to save the podcasts on the internal or external cards. It does not let you select the directory. Pocket Casts lets you select the directory, but then it puts the podcasts files in a subdirectory of the one chosen. Trying both of these apps and multiple configurations, I still can't get the podcast to show up when I look on "this device".

Hello! I would like to see an schedule option for the Sonos controller. A development of the alarm function. I would love to be able to, for example, set my bathroom speaker to play between 7 AM-10 PM everyday or split it up to play between 7 AM-9AM and then start again between 4PM-10PM. I know some of it can be done with the alarm but thats not what I want. In my world its two difderent things. This should be an easy fix and falls perfectly in line with our new smart homes nowadays! And I can see this too be an much wanted function for both private and business who wants their speakers to play automatically on different times during the day! Best regards!

Hi all, As Sonos does not deem it necessary to support tag meta such as album year or lyrics in its own app, after many such feature requests (c'mon, how can you NOT support album year??), I was wondering if any 3rd party apps exist that can do the following: 1. Play songs from a library, stored on a NAS on my Sonos Connect 2. Show lyrics that are embedded in the ID metadata tags 3. Show album year, or at least have an option to sort albums by artist chronologically instead of alphabetically Reason for wanting this is that I have a library of 30000+ songs, most of which I painstakingly added lyrics to in their tags, and ALL of them have album year tag. I used to have a Squeezebox system, which did all of the things indicated (and many more), but it broke down after many years and I decided to switch to the Sonos Connect instead. Only I can no longer enjoy the fruits of my labor now 😞

How can I lock the speaker group in my Sonos app so I do not have keep grouping when I power the system on and open the app everytime?

Ever since the most recent update, the Sonos app keeps periodically bouncing around in my dock (I use OS 😵 to tell me that an updated is available. However, when I click through, it seems that this is not true: the only question I get asked is whether I'd like to integrate with Amazon Alexa (I would not). I presume there is a bug somewhere — has anyone else run into this? About Sonos says: Sonos Controller for Mac Version: 8.4 Build: 41350131

What's best to replace the CR100 ?

Hi all, I have purchased a sonos play:1and I'm missing the airplay feature. I have been searching and I found that sonos one will support airplay 2, but I couldn't find any information about airplay, does it currently support airplay or only will support airplay 2? I only have a sonos bridge and a sonos play:1 so I can't use airport express or apple TV.

I have a brand new playbar and after selecting it and adding it to a new room, I get to the "Updating" screen. At that point, it gets stuck on the "Getting started..." black dot. The light on the playbar is flashing orange and white. I have tried this a couple of times by using a factory reset. And I have the playbar connected to my router via ethernet. Any suggestions on what I should try?

have two systems in two different homes but want to put one under another account is there an easy way to change details without having to re setup etc

I have three alarms setup in Sonos. The first is at 7:00 a.m., then another at 11:00 a.m. and the last at 3:00 p.m. They are all configured identically except for the time to go off. Instead of the chime, they are configured to play a particular Pandora channel. The first alarm works perfectly and is consistent. The second and third alarms play the chime instead of the Pandora channel (even though they are configured to play Pandora). Anyone have a solution for this?

New user here (sorry!). I create a group of Living Room, Patio, and Bedroom. They will all play the same source. However, the volume is likely to get turned up/down in the Living Room, but I want the Patio and Bedroom to remain at the previous setting. So far, it seems that the grouped rooms are slaved to the primary room both for source and volume. I understand after I change one room's volume, I can THEN go change the slave rooms, but I simply want all rooms to be independent volume control. Can anyone help? thanks!

I have 500GB of music and use iTunes to manage the files. Free iTunes. My $2000 worthy of Sonos gear can’t recognize my larger playlist. There doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer as to how many songs Sonos can recognize in a playlist. It would be helpful if it didn’t have a limit but if it does, tell us clearly what that is so we can manage it.

The only reason I still keep Alexa in my house is for telling my Sonos speaker to stop playing when my phone rings. Is there really still no release date, the longer it takes the better the Google Home Max looks to me.

Hi all, just curious, my wife won't use the Sonos kit on the house. She says the Sonos controller app is too hard to understand. What aspect she finds to hard, I am unable to say as she won't even launch the app to show me what she finds hard. Frustrating situation to be in, but I thought I'd ask on the off chance, are there any 3rd party control apps I can get her to try? Especially if it were really simple and easy to understand. Thanks. Bloggs.

Such a shame my life line is going. I have 2 working CR 100’s. They have recently been the ONLY way to upgrade SONOS during upgrade issues. Now I’ve received an email saying I’ve to disconnect them and recycle them. The best way to manage music. Share sla selectioncevice with friends at BBQ’s etc. Almost unbreakable. Certainly ground breaking in its time. Such a shame that SONOS are now 100% dependent on somebody else’s devices and technology to be able operate ANYTHING they make. What a bizarre business model we drove nowadays.

Hello - I just got a Sonos Playbar and Sub a few months ago. At start, everything was great. I updated it a few weeks ago and ever since I lose connection only when playing music. This happens about 2-3 songs in. It'll stop and say it can't connect to music service. If I try a few minutes later I will have the same issue. Listening to anything other than music via the controller (Mac/iPhone) I do not have any issues. I've rebooted the system, changed my wireless channels, and reset the channel with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Greg

often i am away from home and hear music that i know is on my sonos and i think "i will listen to that when i get home" ... but have now way of recording that fact ... so just seeing what other people would think is Sonos app on the phone could have an "offline" mode so that i could create / update a playlist and view my library when on the move, so when i return home it automatically syncs and plays what i heard when out and about ? Is it just me, or would others like this too ?

Hi, Could I ask if the Sonos Controller for Mac will be updated to incorporate Touch Bar support and possibly widgets? The reason why I ask this is that the app looks old when compared to modern apps and lacks some functionality that modern Macs have. Kind regards, Mike

i have 2 play 5 units and some play 1 units. I used to be able to play different music in different rooms at the same time but can no longer do that. If I put music on in one room and someone else wants to play something else in another room it switches all the units to the same music. does anyone else have that problem and how can I fix it???
