Controllers & Music Services

I have had this problem since upgrading to Sierra a few months ago. I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011) with the Sonos Controller v7.0. When the MacBook goes to sleep the Sonos system will play for a while (probably whatever is in the buffer) and then just stops. When I wake up the MacBook, I see an empty Sonos Controller template that takes about 2 minutes to fill in with any data (my ROOMS, NOW PLAYING info, QUEUE contents and "Select a Music Source" menu). I have seen a couple other threads with the sleep issue, but there doesn't seem to be a robust solution. I have tried reinstalling the controller and re-indexing the library but still get the same problem. As long as the MacBook is awake there is not a problem. Prior to the SIerra upgrade everything worked fine. Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a solution? Is Sonos aware of it?

We really need a Sonos original app for Windows Phone. Please include this in the roadmap!

want to control my sonos from my watch it very important to me and everyone else........ Can you guys make it happen..????

I have a new Dell inspiron 5000 series and I have been unable to add the music library to my Sonos app. The music is held in Itunes under the Music folder. I have disabled the Norton firewall and changed other firewall options as per your support document, still to no avail. I have checked the security on the share and it allows Sonos read/write access...Any ideas?

I have an iMac using the highest allowable OS of 10.7.5 because of hardware constraints. Sonos automatic update has removed my ability to connect to iTunes and/or update my library. I'm not going to buy a new computer.Does anyone have a work around on getting iTunes into the new Sonos update?

The app doesn't have the option to add a music service? Any one know how to add, for example, Pandora?

Sonos to Alexa problem

Amazon Fire TV has 4 settings for audio and I'm wondering which would be the best to choose. My audio is HDMI through a Vizio M65-D0 monitor which supports Dolby Digital Plus. The four options are: Dolby Digital Plus Automatic (If your HDMI device does not support Dolby Digital, you will receive stereo.) Dolby Digital Plus OFF (HDMI will provide stereo only) Dolby Digital Plus over HDMI (If your HDMI device does not support Dolby Digital Plus, you will not hear sound.) Dolby Digital over HDMI (If your HDMI device does not support Dolby Digital, you will not hear sound.) (Is it true that Sonos does not support Dolby Digital Plus?

Looks like it might be, assuming it hasn't been crippled. Hope it supports pinning an app. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-rolls-49-99-mass-130335246.html

I have a Roku Streaming stick and I think it would be great to be able to control your music from your TV!!!

I would like to request a sort feature on the songs in a playlist. Especially for my favorite songs in my Deezer favorite list I would like to be able to change the sort order so that I get the most recent additions on the top (date added descending). This would also be my preferred default setting as opposed to the current date added ascending. As in order to play the song I last added to the playlist, it now forces me to scroll all the way down to the list. Typically, I am most interested to listen to the songs I most recently added. Thank you very much in advance for your consideration! Martijn

Hi guys the following could sound a silly question but I want to know if someone sees a use case for the old Sonos remote control in these days knowing that today everything is controlled from the Sonos smartphone/desktop apps. The reason I'm asking is that some one is selling one in my country (we're is not easy to find Sonos products) and since I'm a Sonos crazy I was wondering if I could use it somehow in my current configuration that is made of a playbar, two Play 1s, two Play 3s a Sonos Connect, a Play 5 (2nd) and a Sub.:S., also I'm not sure it is still supported by the newer speakers. thanks for your thoughts.

We love to watch and listen concerts on TV. Sonos automaticly switches to surround sound when receiving a tv signal. We therefore like to have the option to change to music mode when the Sonos receives a TV signal. We are wundering whether there are more Sonos users who want this feature? Please react when you want this option too.

Hi Why can't I find a track by an artist that is in a compilation album using the search? Specific example I have the Paloma Faith track I 'Can't Rely on You' with the artist shown as a contributing artist in the ID3 tag on the Now 87 album. ( I am not using iTunes at all!) Indeed when playing the album the artist name appears on all the controllers (CR100, android and PC versions). But when I search the music library for the artist name it only shows a different album of the same artist but not the individual track in the compilation album.

Hi Everyone I'm considering buying a Sonos PLAY:5. Since this speaker is a year or two old , I wanted to know what's the life cycle of a sonos product , when might another play speaker be released?. For how long does the company continue churning out software updates for their products? for example an android phone will only get software updates for a year or two and then nothing. Thanks:)

I think I understand that it is possible to add individual shared folders rather than only a single folder and all of is sub folders. I share the top level iTunes folder because it contains iTunes' library files. (I use sonos in lose conjunction with iTunes, so it is essential that I have access to its playlist file.) The problem, however, is that I do not wish sonos to index all of the subfolders. (For instance, "music" subfolders but not "audiobook" folder. ) So what I'm wondering is: is there some way to index only certain files as well as certain folders? Or some other way to index only certain subfolders of a folder AS WELL AS only certain FILES within it?

is there any way to use the line in feature with the dot so I can still use my speakers for tv? When I connect to the Play5 I can't get tv sound because it bypasses the playbar, making the connected Play5 the default speaker.

When using the Boost to generate the dedicated SONOSNet can you apply standard network security to this network? I am specifically looking for a MAC address based acces control mechanism to ensure only my authorized devices are able to gain access to my home network.

Everytime I start my desktop PC (Win 10) Sonos app I get the message " Please update to the latest Sonos Controller app". I click update and it fails saying "Desktop controller has failed, please close program". The app on my Android device is up to date and works fine. Any suggestions?

Just out of interest, when calibrating with TruePlay the app tells you at the end that the sound will improve over time. What does that mean? Is the app continuing to calibrate in the background? And if so, how does that work with multi room...

I have started getting this message after 2 years of use, nothing on my network has changed. any ideas what could be wrong

Using iPhone app. Version 5.0. I find that the app often changes the zone I'm controlling, usually after I've left the app and come back to it. For example, if I'm controlling the kitchen, the next time I go to use the app, I'll have to switch from my daughters room even though I have not switched there first. If the app can't always remember the last zone controlled, how about letting me choose the default zone?

Hello, Is there a way for the next update to have the -ability to lock a group area in the settings menu. eg. You have a large alfresco area, maybe using 3 x connect amps, and because it's in the same location, you don't want to keep grouping the areas or accidentally ungroup them, in the settings menu you can group them and give them a group name, and when you use the areas, it will have all areas including the new grouped zone/s, but will not have the name of the individual zone it contains, also global audio settings, if you have two connects/amps, and one subwoofer, the normal setting will only allow the eq of the sub and speaker combination for one of the amps, but if you have multiple areas in this grouped zone, a global setting also should be applied (I have a customer that has 4 connect amps, 2 subwoofers-unable to add more subs because of locations.) the problem with current setup is that they will turn the volume up for New Years, two x Amp speakers will only do the p

Hi anybody know if you can import sonos playlist in to iTunes? Listening to lots of music on sonos I am saving off top songs in to a sonos playlist now I want to get that in to iTunes. Is this possible? Otherwise can I listen to sonos through iTunes rather than sonos and then save to an iTunes playlist?

I wonder how to schedule a specific composition or playlist, etc to play at a specified time. For example, I want my music to turn off in my bedroom at night automatically and turn on in the morning as an alarm-clock, but playing a speicific set of compositions. I did not find any scheduling functions in the software nor in the controller. Another question is if it's possible (I believe it's not) to play 360 kbps mp3 files. I hope it will be taken care of in the next release.
