Controllers & Music Services

I would like to see a setting that allows a preset volume level to be selected so when a speaker is turned on it starts at that volume level. It's quite annoying that if a speaker has previously been listened to at a loud volume setting and then turned off - it remains at that level when it is next used. Sonos, please can you consider this?

Hi Guys,I am facing the following issue.I have some albums on my smartphone (huawei). In my phone, in each of the albums, the titles are properly ranked (Title 01, Title 02, Title 03,…. Title 10, Title 11,…, Title 20, Title 21). When I select the album from the sonos app, the titles are ranked differently (Title 01, Tiltle 10, Title 02, Title 20, Title 21, Title 03, Title 04…..)So it is easy to see that Sonos ranks them based on the first digit (excluding 0).If anyone knows how to solve it ?It is quite penalizing.Thank youG.

hi i’m system integrator i fixed sonos connect to so many of my costumer, but most of them they are asking if the system will automatics play azan 5 time a day with the same time of city azan , Unfortunately  was looking for some app in sonos services but i did not find any app can support me with this any one can help  me with this issue  

I find several topics about Trueplay not being on Android due to variability of hardware. While i get the point it still seems like at least it could be supported for the Pixel models. Thank you for trying.

Quiero utilizar el altavoz FIVE directamente conectado a un PC por el cable de línea. ¿Cómo puedo quitar del sistema SONOS el altavoz FIVE para que no aparezca en las APPs?

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a quick video of my Sonos app running on Xbox. Its had a major update to make it quick and simple to use with an Xbox controller, and with the Xbox Media Remote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ__zshIwcs (there is no audio).

Please, I have a system that I share with my family including children. I have some older android tablets do not support S2, and if one of my kids clicks ‘upgrade to S2’, those devices will no longer work. As others have asked, let me permanently turn off the prompt to check S2 compatibility. 

I thought I would post this because I finally managed to do something I have been wanting to do for three years. i'm not taking any credit because I managed to find all the information on the forum but not in one place.I wanted to convert my playlists on Sonos which were pointed at Napster to Apple Music playlists. this also works for other services although there is another step to get to Amazon Music. This is for iOS but I am sure there is something similar for android.Step 1: download an app called Phonos Plus. This will allow you to dump your track names from each playlist into a file readable by the web app below.Go to Soundliz.com. This will allow you to import your file and import it to Apple Music, Napster, Spotify etc. I'm not giving detailed instructions because both steps are fairly easy when you look around the apps.  you may lose a track or two on the way but you can see what they are and replace them directly. probably takes five minutes per playlist. 

So, I can’t find any info, if I’m just ignorant, please excuse the next tirade!We have, for some time, had issues with Spotify playback being stopped randomly, at home and out and about.I think the culprit is the Sonos system at home.We have Spotify Family w all accounts added to the Sonos system, but! I can’t find a way tp prevent any user (or, since all use the same account, there is essentially only one user on one Sonos system) to choose the “wrong” spotify profile.I must say I find it pretty lame that there is no “Family” mode in Sonos, like Spotify has.I want each family member to have a different login, and me, as admin, assign who can play where.Yes, I know that we can have different wlans but it seems quite a silly workaround.Cheers/B

Let us be clear “Microsoft publicly deprecated the SMBv1 protocol in 2014.”So why is SONOS  insisting that to connect to a NAS server  it needs SMB1It is almost as if the dev team and managers at SONOS think that  their continued use of an insecure  and non standard protocol does not matter. The evidences are here :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/troubleshoot/smbv1-not-installed-by-default-in-windowshttps://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrJ7Fil6E1gCHMA_atXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzQEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1615747365/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fbarreto.home.blog%2f2015%2f04%2f21%2fthe-deprecation-of-smb1-you-should-be-planning-to-get-rid-of-this-old-smb-dialect%2f/RK=2/RS=AxALiGz6671Rq4A2dEl0G2pN_4c- https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrJ7Fil6E1gCHMAA6xXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzcEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1615747365/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2ftechcommunity.microsoft.com%2ft5%2fstorage-at-microsoft%2fstop-using-smb1%2fba-p%2f425858/RK=2/RS=wZ94022lsGeSZaTUiGJBq5

Whats the Eta for SMB v2 and 3 ?This is why I was worried of spending this kind of money on 1 vender. Vender lock in, and apparently security is irelevant.I waited years to buy sonos, because I knew stuff like this would happen with vendor lock in….I just want ot map a Network share from a NAS. Its not magic…. 

Hello community,while not meant as rant, I need to voice my disappointment.Sonos requires SMBv1 since a long time now, to be able to use shared music “folders” on a local network. Requests to update are voiced from the community since years now (just search the forum for SMBv1 and error 900).SMBv1 is considered not secure anymore, and one will hardly find any software that still requires that old protocol version - save Sonos.I mitigated the issue for some time now, by isolating the network share (and the related data) into a dedicated hardware, to not expose more important files on a common file server to potential risks.No longer.This ends my journey with Sonos - as they left me with the impression, that the security of my home environment is of no interest to them.It’s sad, as I liked their product…Greetings… and good bye!

For as long as I’ve been using Sonos, I’ve never been able to shuffle songs on Apple Music. It’s really frustrating. Not sure if it’s an Apple issue or a Sonos issue or both. Please fix this. :) I’d be so happy.

I’m annoyed EXTREMELY with the Sonos insistence that I use the mobile app to add products etc.  I don’t have any password info on my mobile - they’re ALL on my laptop.  So even time I have to reset something and then add back an existing product I have to find my Sonos password and enter it manually (it’s automatic on the laptop). It is annoying in the extreme.Rant over (for now).Fortunately I’m a customer for more than 10 years, so I’m not giving up the benefits of Sonos over this.  A newer one might not be so forgiving.

I can see that this has been requested in the past but then the posts seem to die a death with no sign of the feature being implemented in the app so...again...why can't we set an alarm to play on a specific group of speakers rather than only having the option to "include grouped rooms"? Use case: I have speakers in a bedroom, kitchen and living room. In the evening I often want to listen to music in the kitchen or bedroom while someone is watching TV in the living room so I ungroup my speakers. In the morning I want my alarm to play a radio station or play list on all speakers throughout the house. As it stands, unless I remember to re-group my speakers before going to sleep for the night the alarm will only play in the bedroom. Why can't I have a set of ticket boxes to select exactly what speakers to play the alarm on? The only possible reason to not have this feature that I can think of is that it could cause confusion or frustration if an alarm interrupts a speaker that is alread

Just a friendly reminder to Sonos to work on getting compatibility with Google Podcasts

Recently, the reminder that “It’s time to update” is not going away and stays on top of the screen. I get it. Sonos is becoming impatient. Fine. I will do it. But here is a sincere recommendation for the folks at Sonos:Every month I checked if there was a new meaningful release of the app. 8 months long I have been reading the same release note on the iOS AppStore: “Performance enhancements and improved reliability.” Of course, I checked the Sonos website and know about the changes in hi-res and WiFi 5 GHz. But the AppStore is your image, your business card.Sonos, this is so lazy. Take an example from other apps, whose release notes on AppStore are fun to read, which give you the feeling that there is a creative team behind the software, selling quality of life, not some generic software. Besides, reading these same release notes without end in sight gives me the feeling that S2 is ultra-buggy.This is just my thought. Don't know if other customers even read the release notes. But think

Sonos support folks on here have stated that the nag message to upgrade to S2 will not be cleared for users with fully-S2-compatible systems, that they want us using S2 so we don’t miss out on useful new features. Here is my system’s use case - 3 Play:3s, 8 or 9 Play:1s. None are set up as stereo pairs. We don’t have Sonos connected to our home theater.  We don’t use any voice assistants aside from Siri on our phones. Don’t use Airplay. We use Pandora and Spotify and Amazon Music, and have some audio files on a NAS server.  We use a couple of Alarms to start music playing in a few rooms at various times of the day.  That’s pretty much it.I would love the ability to schedule grouping/ungrouping at certain times and play music to the new group. I see that asked for quite a bit. So, honest question: what new and exciting features does S2 offer me that would make me want to irreversibly change my system? How will S2 make my particular use case any better than what I can do in S1?

Can anybody tell me how to find specific songs within Playlists?  I find that often songs are repeated in Playlists and I want to be able to find if a song is already in a Playlist. Thks

I can’t log into my Tunein Radio Premium service…. 

I am quite aware that this topic was asked before. I could find no satisfying answers, some were closed.  How can I add my wifes audible account to mine for use with sonos from a tablet? The app enables me to use one and delete the other.  My wife has her account on her mobile, mine is on my mobile. It seems that deleting one from the sonos system on the tablet deletes it from the mobile! THANK YOU!  stefan

In the YouTube music app I can instantly create a radio station based on a song or a playlist. As far as I can tell this is not possible in the Sonos app with YouTube Music integration. Can we expect this feature at some point?

Hi Guys,Does anyone know whether the Move will be receiving the functionality recently announced for the Roam where it can seamlessly transfer from wifi to bluetooth when out of wifi range? Cheers, Wayne

I can’t figure out how to specify the path to my network drive. I connect to it on my Mac via:smb://mycloudex2ultraFrom there, the path is Public/SharedMusic/iTunesMusicI have tried this in the Sonos setup window:\\mycloudex2ultra\Public\SharedMusic\iTunesMusicBut after clicking Next and providing my Username and Password I get an “unable to add the music folder” error.Can anyone help?

Problem as per title -  the new S2 app no longer persistently shows the elapsed and remaining times for the track being played. It does show the progress bar - but not the times as numbers. The times appear when the track starts but then disappear after a couple of seconds. Same thing if you touch the progress bar while a track is playing - the times re-appear, then fade. There is no setting to control this. I really dislike this - I like to be be able to see the times without having to continuously be tapping the screen. Why on earth would Sonos think it’s a good idea to make this change? Very annoying. Anyone else feel like this?
