Controllers & Music Services

I see that this has been requested many times before but I hope this feature is added soon.  My son keeps enabling night mode at night while playing video games and the next day it stays activated without any of us noticing it still on.  It is hard to believe that this would be difficult to implement.   At least notify the user that the mode is on flashing the light after a set amount of time. 

hi,just want to share my finding in case anyone meet the same issue. My setup:i have a PC and sonos on the same network, firewall disabled from both PC and router.I also added sonos app to allowed app and what not on my pc.I’m able to access my shared music folder from my phone on the same network. background:I’m a senior java developer :)i tried to add 2 network folder as music folders, got a bit inpatient and try to add both folder at the same time without giving time for the sonos desktop app to index finish the first. discovery:i found that i hit an error and wasnt able to add both folder at all.i tried reinstall app but still wont work. solution:i found that if i try to add another folder, i was able to.Hence, i begin to suspect that the folder path was saved somewhere and wasnt deleted and resulted in duplicate of path. I went ahead to change my music folder name from music to music1 and suddenly it works. i did the same to my other music folder and it works perfectly.in case you

Announcement: https://www.apple.com/ca/newsroom/2021/05/apple-music-announces-spatial-audio-and-lossless-audio/ Now that Apple Music has joined the “lossless club”, can we please hear from Sonos as to whether this will be supported, and, if it will be, approximately when that may occur? Thanks.

So now my 3 speakers are only good for the bin after the latest iOS update, I rang the helpline who worked my through various things, all listed in previous ( now closed for further comments) page and after failed attempts was to he would ask for more advice and send me an email . all the email said was I can upgrade with a 30% reduction in price. They must think Im a moron if I'm going to invest in a system that does work anymore.

Any idea why when I open my favourites play list in sonos its does not match the order I saved them in deezer.. bit of a pain as I have to manually scan my sonos play list to see where my last most up to date favourite song has saved.. it would be great if both lists where synced which each list matching in most recently added decending order..

Dear Sonos, please work with Synology to create a “Service” to access Synology Audio Station.  If SMB2 is so difficult, then surely it would be less work to add a “service” (same as there is for Apple Music and Spotify) that can access local Synology Audio Station.  Thank you. 

Here's what I mean - missing/greyed images vary at random.…  

On my Android phone I have a LARGE music library (almost 10K tracks, mostly flac).Black player manages fine, and I have all my playlists there.The Sonos app struggles with the libary size, AND cannot see my playlists.How do I play to the Sonos One speaker from the Black Player app?

Are there near-term plans to let me play SONOS radio on my phone, so that I can connect it to a Bluetooth speaker? I love SONOS radio and subscribe to the upgraded service. But I travel 2+ weeks a month and can’t play SONOS radio on the road. 

Hi,I have a question related to iPhone volume control. When I send music directly to Sonos from my iPhone, I have no trouble controlling my Beam’s volume from my phone. On the other hand, when I stream video content (Netflix, etc) through my Samsung tv (connected to my Beam via HDMI Arc), I can’t control the volume other than from my tv’s remote. Is there no way to do this? It seems like a pretty simple situation, but I can’t figure it out. Thanks very much

I am wholly disgruntled at Sonos partnering with Brian Eno and making his Lighthouse station only available in HD. It is both thoughtless and greedy in my view (by both parties). How many fans of Brian Eno are able to afford new Sonos 2 equipment, further paying a monthly subscription to listen to his music? Do they expect those of us who have lots of Sonos 1 equipment to simply pay a fortune to upgrade? And what about those who cannot afford Sonos equipment in the first place?Sonos should insist on providing alternate listening options for use with any equipment in SD. Shame on Sonos and Eno alike.I don’t object to paying for music but I really am disgusted at the ivory tower mentality of this project (not to speak of the very deep pockets required to participate).Sonos previously had an unblemished record in my book and I have persuaded many people to purchase at least one speaker, sometimes more.I won’t be doing so after this disgraceful act.

I’m trying to figure out whether to rip lossless or not and wanted to do an a-b comparison of the same track recorded at different rates.  But I have to distinguish the tracks in some way.  I tried editing composer tag using Windows Medial Player and then rebuilt my Sonos library, but it still shows only Beethoven, not Beethovenb, the edit I had done.  So how to I distinguish two rips from the same track so I can play the different versions, either through editing tags or some other means?  Thank you. 

Recommendation for a dedicated Sonos remote: My favorite CR200 is dying, dead spots on screen and probably not worth  buying a used one. I want to find a device (small) to use as a dedicated remote, I play mostly from Amazon and do have a small favorite list, also play a lot from the SonosTube app.  Don’t have a smartphone I could use for this and don’t want to use my iPad pro as well (too big to carry around 12.9). Looking for maybe an Android based OS hopefully can use as a remote, what I don’t know is minimum version of android I would need. iPhone too expensive just to buy and use as a dedicated remote, recommended please.

I see a number of people who ask basically the same question.  With the myriad of updates we’ve gotten, the dev team at Sonos can’t figure out how to add a sort option to the playlists?  This seems so plebian and basic, it’s difficult to understand why it still hasn’t been done.  Leads me to believe they give us this “community” and then pay zero attention to it.  Oh, and yesterday I tried to search within my playlist for a song and it went out into Apple Music and wasn’t even remotely what I wanted to do.  I wonder if anyone on the Sonos dev team actually uses the app?  

Please add DatPiff.com mixtapes as a streaming service.

Sonos team-  I’ve seen countless threads in the community over the last year of how this Snooze feature does not work. It’s clear this is a big, and as a software engineer, I can tell you this is probably the simplest bug to fix.  I’m  sure you have other items in the backlog, but why has this simple feature not been addressed in over a year?!?! It’s clear the community wants it, and it’s clear this is a major value proposition of the Sonos One SL.  please reply to my post as you have not replied to anyone who is facing the same challenge. This is an awful user experience, and as a public company I expect that you address customer issues in a more customer centric way by READING THE COMMUNITY BLOG AND ACTING ON IT Thank you

Cannot connect my speakers because Sonos told me I’m in beta. 

Okay, the title is quite a handful, but I couldn’t come up with a simpler one (suggestions welcome) so bear with me.This is a summary of what I learnt to fix my problem based on these other topics which are quite a mess to read through:and many more...In this post I hope to help out all the people that were using an iTunes network library, either from a computer or on a server to play music on their sonos systems. Specifically I’ll focus on the usability, since I was used to just copying their iTunes folder on to my NAS and have it work perfectly as a NAS music Library with Sonos and how to get it to work with the new updated Music App, that replaced iTunes. This might also be helpful for people with playlist issues or general issues on getting their new OSX Music Library to work with Sonos.General Information: Since Apple decided to replace iTunes with Music, it no longer creates an XML file for the library. This is an issue because it’s exactly that file that we need to have your NAS

IOS has Sonopad... Android has.... nothing. Am I alone in finding the S2 app clunky and outdated - it works but that's about all that's going for it. I especially hate the colour-themed playing screen which can easily provide a sickly yellow background depending on the album art or station logo. 

Hello Everyone!To get to the point from the title. Sonos Trueplay for a 5.1 surround can only be tuned using an IOS device. As a programmer I can understand because of the hardware differences between different Android phones.I own a Sonos move, so why can't the built in Mics for that unit tune my Tv room surround? The Move would just simply be used as a external Mic to pick up sounds around the room( might be a little too heavy moving the speaker up and down haha) or would Sonos be able to create a Microphone as a accessory purchase.Don

Klopt het een SONOS MOVE eigenlijk enkel vlot communiceert met een i-phone? Ik erger mij te pletter aan de gebrekkige samenwerking van mijn SONOS en mijn Fairphone. Is it right you should have an i-phone to enjoy SONOS MOVE? My Fairphone (the only smartphone I want to use) doesn’t agree with SONOS. Why didn’t anybody tell me that before?

I can’t find anywhere this has been requested before, which I find surprising. I think there should be the ability to select multiple rooms when configuring an alarm. Yes I know you can select to include grouped rooms.  But this relies on someone checking that rooms are grouped correctly before going to bed.  We have tried and failed to do this consistently in a busy household - it’s not a satisfactory solution. The alarm should have the ability to group rooms to achieve the desired outcome. We have tried setting the same alarm up in multiple rooms, but this produces an impossibly pronounced echo effect!!

Sonos first came to market at the perfect time, they were not the first, or possibly the best at the time, but they brought desirable products to the market at a time when people were willing to spend good sums of money for reliable, high quality products. In particular they were the best solution for people who wanted to stream their existing digital audio collection at the best quality, Sonos devices supported network streams of uncompressed of audio and also supported uncompressed FLAC files for even higher quality. This is why I and so many other customers invested thousands in Sonos hardware.But times move on….Over the years Sonos has failed to innovate in their primary arena of products which used to be the market leader in the highest quality audio and which justified their high price tag and in doing so have ditched their cash cow users. Instead they have put all their resources into online streaming services (sacrificing quality and alienating their core userbase), creating ni

I recently started a free trial of Apple Music. I have an iTunes library of about 32,500 tracks which are currently being uploaded to the Apple Music cloud.I have downloaded a couple of albums from Apple Music which appear in my iTunes library and in the Apple Music library, but, do not appear in the main Sonos library.Is this usual? 

my s1 controller has not worked on my Mac for a while now. works fine on my iPhone I have not changed my router or any settings.
