Controllers & Music Services

I will often search for an artist, and then browse their albums. I want to listen to their most recent album, but based the list of albums doesn’t show years published. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, there’s no way to sort by date published. Am I missing something?  

Hello,New to Sonos. I have a pair of One SLs being delivered this week, an Arc on order and an S3 sub sitting here still in the box. I plan on using the SLs as a stereo pair in my office strictly for music.  When streaming high resolution music from the Sonos app via one of the music services, (Qobuz, Apple Music, etc.) does Sonos provide you with the audio format details such as the bit rate, sampling rate, etc. or does it simply just indicate HD or something along those lines?  Thank you. 

It’s 2022. It would be just an excellent experience to have a widget to add to support toggling volumes without needing to open the app. While I know there’s third party solutions I trust Sonos with both support and privacy. With Apple’s OS fully unified from mac to iPhone, it would be just a cherry on top for the Sonos ecosystem and help my older family easily interact with the speakers. 

The app works so bad it is unbelievable.How can a major company get away with this?The Apple music so called integration works really really bad! Any plans for a new ?

My neighbor can connect to my Sonos speaker, intermittently. How can I prevent this?

Want to know where I should focus my energy to get lossless / hi res supported on Sonos.  Is it Sonos that hasn’t had time to implement, doesn’t plan to etc, or is it Apple that is restricting access to the higher quality streams.Support should be provided through the S2 App.

My Sonos is not playing songs from certain folders on my Nas drive. These were playing fine until maybe a couple of weeks ago. I have tried adding the folders back in using the Music Library, which worked last week, but won't work now. Any ideas?

Must say I'm disappointed that several years after launching Sonos Radio HD, Australia still doesn't have it. Somewhat embarrassing infact that I literally just heard a Sonos Radio HD ad between songs on the Hit List station. You'd think they'd restrict that ad to only countries where such a service is available.  Any word on if they actually plan to roll this service out to beyond a small handful of countries? 

Just setting up my new Sonos Roam that I bought for my daughter. I had wanted it so the she could play her music in her room in the evening without having to have her tablet. In trying to get it to work I find that it is extremely poor at finding any specific piece of music. It does not connect to Sonos playlists so cannot ask for a specific playlist. It does not connect to Spotify - which is probably about the most popular music service known to man or woman.It connects to Amazon Music - but cannot find “The Nutcracker” even though there are several albums of this name if I search for it.I say “Hey Sonos play radio four”. I get Dua Lipa - Hit List on Sonos Radio. I say “Hey Sonos play the song Borderline” - “Sorry I can’t find the song Borderline”.I say “Hey Sonos play the song Hotel California” - “Sorry I can’t find the song Hotel California”.Having tried several songs I have yet to find one that it can find.I would not recommend this to anybody in its current state. 

I have the same issue a number of people have complained about many years ago but I can’t see a resolution to what seems like a very basic function of any system.I have a lot of music (tens of hours) in a playlist and would like to play through it all without repetition. However when switching to other inputs e.g. the TV, when I return it does not remember where it left off so you can only re-shuffle the queue or try and manually remember the last song, scroll through the list, find it and start from there which is not easy if you have 1000’s of songs.This has been mentioned by many others but no solution is offered. Surely it is a basic function of any music system to resume from the last played song in a playlist so assume there must be a way otherwise why would anybody who loves music buy this system?Threads on the same subject that are many years old and no solution has been offered 

Sinds kort verschijnt de tekst "NPO Radio 1is niet langer beschikbaar op Sonos Radio" wanneer ik het NPO Radio 1-icoontje aanklik. Vele jaren lang was NPO Radio wél beschikbaar op Sonos Radio en daarvóór op Tune in. Hoe kan ik nu NPO Radio beluisteren via Sonos?

This double notification has been a thing for many people and for quite some time now. Is there a fix?  

Are there any standards to what kind of adds Sonos accepts on Sonos Radio. There is a porn add running on danish Sonos by a compagny called Sinful.Are there adds on payed Sonos Radio ?

I know there was another thread here 4 years ago with no much traffic, hopping now both sonos and beatport are more mainstream and ready for an integration. 

Wondering if anyone is having problems using direct control from the Pandora app to Sonos?  When I choose the “casting” feature in the lower right corner of the Pandora app I’m presented with a list of “devices” that I can cast to.  I have no problem with google devices, but when I choose a Sonos target I have problems.  At first the music gets sent to the Sonos device, but after a few minutes the controls in Pandora become unresponsive.When the song finishes and the next song begins, the Pandora app does not update, but continues to show the screen for the previous song.  At the bottom pf the Pandora app screen I see a message “Buffering...Your music will be back shortly”.  At this point the app has lost communication with Sonos and remains unresponsive.  The only way to reset is to start a different station from Pandora. This problem is the same across multiple iOS devices, phones and iPads.  I have updated all apps, uninstalled and reinstalled pandora and sonos.  Also restarted mode

As noted in the post here:TuneIn, and by extension, Sonos Radio, will soon be losing the ability to stream the BBC. Check out the details in that post for other ways of accessing the BBC, for both those inside the UK, and for those outside the UK.

I have just managed to resolve this issue with technical support as a workaround until the permanent fix is deployed and the steps are as follows:Using an iOS Device from a Friend, Relative or Neighbour.Connect their device to your Wi-Fi network. Download the Sonos App Download Apple Music (if not already downloaded) On the iOS Device click Settings > Their Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Sign Out Launch the Sonos App Click Join Existing System Login to your Sonos ID Click on Apple Music in the Sonos App Click Re-authorise Follow the journey in Apple Music. On the iOS Device click Settings > Their Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Sign OutThen your Friend, Relative or Neighbour can sign back into Media & Purchases. Finally uninstall the Sonos App

Hi, I only have two rooms in my system but I can’t create a permanent group with them. The group option is greyed out and it says I can only create groups when three or more rooms exist. What is the purpose of this limitation?

I would like to use my Audi Q4 Etron SONOS in-car sound system via CarPlay or Android Auto to play my music like in my SONOS One home system.

Sonos S2 system.  Latest updates.  Just deleted and re-added Plex; no change.  Plex software is current.  Running Ubiquiti Unifi system for network gear.I can see my library, and for the most part, play music files from Plex.When I try to play much larger m4b audiobooks, I see a whole bunch of ranged gets (with 200 status code) of 6144 bytes in length (For a 200+MB file) and then it eventually fails and I can’t play back the book.  Each of these gets is from a different source port on my Sonos, which I think is excessive.I do have Remote Access for Plex enabled but do not have any ports published (for Plex or anything else).Any idea what is going on and what I should do here?  I’d like to be able to play Audiobooks through Plex on my Sonos.Thanks 

Hi, I’m running Sonos 2 v12.1 on Pixel 4a (though I had this same issue on Pixel 2).When I browse “On this Mobile Device” my music appears just fine under Albums, Songs, and Playlists. However, there’s no discernible sort order of Artists and my Genres are all empty. I’d appreciate some thoughts on how to resolve these. I’d like Artists in alphabetical order (or for someone to at least tell me what the sort order is) and for Genre to be populated. Thanks so much!Artists - what order?eh? 

Few years ago many users suggested to add the option to make presets for the sound settings on the app and its still didnt happened. Can i ask you pleeeeease to make presets for the whole EQ settings (10 slots to customize) such as for music we will be able set height levels to +4 and the Loudness on etc. And just by pressing on ‘music’ for example, it will change all the settings. Thanks in advance.

I want to add Pro Ject turntable to my existing home theatre set up. Play bar, play 1s and sub.Once I connect via amp, port or play 5 etc. will the sound broadcast over all speakers? or just one?  

Would be great on the desktop controller if we could click on the now playing artist / album / track artwork to make it full screen.At the moment you just get a slightly larger pointless thumbnail on the mini player, it would be great if this could go fullscreen.I understand that the image is square in shape so wouldn’t be able to stretch to fit to a rectangular screen, but a larger image against a solid colour backround (white or black) would give the desktop app a great look when music is playing. Just like the mobile app but landscape for a desktop screen. Surely a possibility in 2022?

I updated the S1 app on my iPod Touch this morning, to version 11.6.1, and now when I try to launch it, the splash screen displays for a few seconds and then it quits. This is a 7th gen iPod Touch that had been running iOS 15.6.1. I noticed there was an iOS update and updated it to 15.7.1: same result. Is anyone else seeing this?
