Controllers & Music Services

With a large library and using a half-dozen services, having a recently played, maybe by album, would be really helpful.

How about a controller for Android TV? I think the current app would upsize just fine, even.

I use a Sonos at work and would like the alarm to turn the unit on for 8hrs, but the duration is only 2hrs max. So I have to set an alarm to turn it on and another to turn it off. It never works right. It would be easier if you could just increase the alarm duration to include up to 12 or more hrs.

I have two play ones set up in my office, Just think it would be nice to have an option to set the desktop as an audio source. Desktop audio via DLNA to the play ones as a built in option. Would greatly broaden the usability as then they could play the audio for movies, games, youtube, and well any audio on the desktop at all

I know this is a frequently asked question, so I'd just like to know if Sonos actually listen to their customers? I work in the music industry and have personally experienced the battles that go on with the company Sonos system. Staff turn down music, insert their tracks into a playlist to disrupt an album playback and sometimes disconnect speakers from a party. It's total chaos and frustrating as we need to have the flexibility of having the Sonos on our current network, so can't segment the Sonos system via WiFi to restrict it that way. What we'd ideally like is to have some form of advanced management feature on the Sonos to switch between allowing individual accounts or everyone. I really can't see how difficult it would be to code this kind of restriction, either by MAC address or a "superuser" password on each connected controller if the setting is enabled. It's been years now and it doesn't appear that Sonos are doing anything about "Song wars" at a party. I've even

Hi there, Since upgrading to 3.1 my cr200 has become unresponsive in certain parts of the scree. For example if i try and adjust the treble in the music equalisation screen I cant move the slider. If I try and slide up and down using the A-Z slider at the RHS of my music index it stutters at E and jumps to M. I have contacted Sonos who suggested that I reset the controller but to know avail. Any ideas? Frazer

Hi there, I'm using my new computer pc a new ones with a real copy of windows 7 professional Installation was good for a couple day until i've decide to install SONOS on to my computer everythings work fine, then after restart my pc my password could not use anymore WHAT IS A PROBLEMS ???????

Please enable MEO Music, (Portugal,) as a compatible Music Service

Hi, I already asked this question elsewere but think it's better dealt with in it's appropriately titled own thread. Because I am afraid that at some point in time an update more or less might brick my CR200 because Sonos decides not to support it anymore, I would like to switch off the search for updates and the update notifications, too. Advices I've got so far: -turn notifications off in the settings menu - but there is no such setting on a CR200. -use parental control of my router and block u*.sonos.com. But it seems like the implementation in my router is somewhat flawed - many websites take much longer to open when I use the blacklist with u*.sonos.com as the only entry. Or maybe this is related to the recent hack attacks on big companies they mentioned in the news today? Anyway, when I use this blacklist item, I'd expect the 'Check for updates' to fail. But it doesn' give any error message, it just tells me that my system is up to date. Could a Sonos rep chime

This is Android version, Pixel XL phone, App version 6.4.7 I'm trying to add new devices to existing setup, but each time i select add new Player or Sub it takes me to a screen that says Sonos App needs updating - it then takes me play store which shows the sonos app page, but only says Open as i've already got the current version. Have tried uninstalling, and re-installing but same, have reset app, but same. Seems i'm currently unable to add any new devices - not happy !! 😠

Guys, Is there any way I can access my home Sonos network from a remote location? If I want to control Sonos when I am not at home how can I do this? Thanks David

Same problem as in https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/my-preferences-tab-only-shows-date-and-time-i-dont-have-any-other... I sent my diagnostics (confirmation no. 4738102 Thank you!

Hi, I've connected an Amazon Echo Dot 2 to my Sonos:5 (1st gen) via the line in cable. Can anyone tell me the best Line-in Source Level to use please?

Apple have just released into BETA Home Kit. This is a selection of dev tools to help integrate smart home products together. Hopefully plans are coming together to integrate this into the iOS app. It would be interesting to see what users think to this.

Hi, I have been using Sonos fine for the last 18 months or so. In that last few weeks, I have had an intermittent problem playing the music from my music library. Playback stopped completely this evening saying that the computer Simon's MacBook Pro cannot be found. I tried to update the music library, to no avail, I also tried to reset the sonos player. I also removed the music folder and tried to re-install, but failed to re-install it. I ended up uninstalling the Sonos player and reinstalling. Following this I tried to add my music as the music library where I keep getting the message: Sonos was unable to add the music folder - The computer Simon's MacBook pro cannot be found The folder I am directing it to contains all the iTunes folders that I have, so i don't know what the problem is. Please can anyone help? Thanks Simon

I've been a SONOS user for any years and have 10 zones, including a subwoofer and L/R pairs. Like others, I was a bit underwhelmed by the new functionality included in update 6.4. It certainly wasn't worth the price I've been forced to pay. I have three 4th generation iPods that I bought as dedicated SONOS controllers. They are running ios 6.1.6, which is the latest version available. I'm pretty peeved that these controllers no longer work as SONOS controllers once I updated my system to 6.4. SONOS should design their updates so that they don't shaft their existing users. I can understand that code will inevitably grow beyond the capability of older devices. But, I would be perfectly happy to have controller features frozen for older devices. I'd be content if I wasn't able to access all of the management functions from an older controller. But to have several perfectly good devices suddenly become totally unusable is an outrage. There are two versions of the SONOS App

Hello, I recently got an email saying that this feature was going to be released soon to the beta. I was wondering if there was an actual ETA on when that might be?

Since I downloaded the new Mac OS, Sierra, I am having problems with the controller not acknowledging my wifi connection. I have had to reset my controller multiple times to get it working again. Turning wifi on and off does not work. I also deleted and installed a new version of the Sonos Mac controller. That doesn't help either. Thanks for any suggestions on how to fix this

We currently use a handful of Sonos players throughout our office. It would be great if Sonos integrated with Slack so the song playing on a specific player (or group) could get pushed into a Slack channel.

Ciao, I'm using my Play 1 in living room, bathroom and bed room, moving the speaker from a room to another. Unfortunately it seems that I must re-calibrate trueplay every time I move the speaker to one of those three rooms... Is it possible to create an update able to store the settings for each room, avoiding the re-calibration procedure all the times? Thanks

Hi guys I want to be able to select and group rooms to my alarm Ie if all my rooms are already grouped from the night before i want my alarm to override that setting and only play the rooms which i have selected in the alarm setting. Example: 6:30 play kitchen and bathroom 12:00 play kitchen and dinning room (bathroom stopps) This would be such a helpful addition

Just in case anyone is looking, I am volunteering to beta test Sonos integration with Amazon Echo if you need testers 🙂 Thanks

Is there a way to create a repeating auto shut off? For example, at 11 pm, pause all music that is on.

Hello lovely SONOS people. Hope you can assist with this, sorry if it's been asked before!! I'm running an iMac with 10.6.8 which holds my iTunes library and has been working solidly for, well, for a very lond time. It's an original Intel 17 inch machine which alas can't have the software updated any further. For some reason, and I cant explain why, my SONOS controller software on this machine no longer works so, I'm looking to re-load it with a download from the SONOS site. The latest software will not work with my machine but I can't locate a software archive for a older suitable version. Could you please help and give me a link for the software that will work with 10.6.8. Thanks in advance to all the great community contributors.
