Controllers & Music Services

Hi All,Can anyone recommend how to stream high quality Grateful Dead?  I have SiriusXM but can’t figure out how to get the higher quality internet/app version to stream over sonos.  Satellite is understandably lower quality but there is a higher quality over the internet and over the phone app.  Has anyone dealt with this and have input?An altogether new GD streaming source would be great to learn of also.  Any input?thanks,Dave

How can I listen to BBC local radio when the Winter Olympics are on ?

I purchased a Sonos Roam - it did not work. I have returned it and purchased another is the hopes that the first was simply defective. How do I remove the original Roam product from my account - as I have returned it to the store.

Would you PLEASE add Scribd to Sonos Services?I asked this 2 years ago and still nothing and I have not been the only one, I reached out to Scribd and they said it has to come from your end, not theirs.I also requested the add to queue option for audiobooks like there is for music, would love to know where this is in development as well.

My local university radio station is cjsw.com. I can use my Sonos app to listen to the station with no issue. On the web site they have all the programming available to listen to after the fact. I can go back a month or two and listen to a show I may have missed. I can find no way on the Sonos app to open and play previous programming. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not possible it would be great if Sonos added this as a feature. And if it was dependent on the Radio Station allowing it I’m sure CJSW would be more than happy to oblige if a donation was made.

Hi Folks,I noticed today that below Sonos Radio stations have disappeared:Glide Path Drum & BassI’ve been unable to find an announcement about their removal.Are they missing for everyone?Does Sonos publish release notes for radio station changes? Many Thanks 

After my Samsung Galaxy S20 updated to Android 12/One UI 4, I have lost the Sonos controller as a lock screen widget. The latest OS seems to group lock screen widgets in categories, such as “Music.” All of my device music/podcast app controls work as lock screen widgets in the music/media output category. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Sonos controller working again on the lockscreen - never fully recognized how useful it was until it was gone.

Driving me mad - does anyone know where I can find the version of Blondie - Heart of Glass that Sonos Radio plays? its not the original Parallel lines version as it has a different playout with Clem Burke doing different paradiddles to fade out. Help!

Hi guys,Im a owner of the sonos arc and two sonos one gen2 speakers. I dont use the sonos sub.Does anyone know what EQ settings are the best to bring out the best sound? 

I have had Dark Mode working on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, but yesterday everything just turned light. The option to enable it in the App Settings menu has disappeared. I have restarted the app, deleted and re downloaded but it is still missing. It is still working fine on my M1 iPad Pro. Grrrrr it’s just reappeared when I was going to get a diagnostics report. once again …… grrrrrrrrr 

So to be clear... if I have a sonos arc and sub in the living room, but have a sonos amp with speakers in the back yard, I can listen to them as a single group, or use separate? As in the arc playing a movie and out back playing spotify. Or watch a different TV source on each, while being able to do this all within the same app login? Hopefully I am making my point lol.

Hello,I have a very bad ADSL line, no fiber, and therefore my internet is max 8MbI want to move to the High Fidelity music with Deezer (FLAC music), but my wifi won't be strong enough to do this on my Sonos system. Could a solution be to play the FLAC music using the Deezer app and transferring to Sonos via Airplay?Will my wifi still be needed or just my phone data (I have unlimited data)? Would this enables me to listen to FLAC despite my very slow wifi network? 

Now, Sonos has teamed up with Amazon to provide the proclaimed highest quality music for streaming. I am wondering do I need to subscribe to it to experience it, or I can just retain my YouTube subscription, which comes with YouTube music, to have the same experience.

Been tweaking my system. I grouped my sons speakers and am able to cast from my phone or laptop to all 4 of my speakers if I pick airplay through Spotify with on my phone or through my laptop. If I go to YouTube in my iPhone I can cast to the same group and it works. My issue is I would like to cast from using YouTube.com or music.YouTube.com to my grouping but all that shows up is my tv when I press the casting button . Confused as to why it works on Spotify but not YouTube from my laptop. I did add the YouTube music service in under the sonos app but It’s not syncing up with my playlists 

Now that I have my full music collection (Stored on my Sonology) available to my Roam, I am wondering for music that I have stored locally, but also know is on Amazon in at least HD Quality, what will sound better? Will local mp3 files sound better? and if so what is the minimum bit rate for that)Does the answer chance if my local file is Flac format?  ThanksAllen

Hi There, new Sonos user here. I’m all set up and it’s working fine. I’ve set up the remote as per instructions. But the remote is also turning up the volume through the TV speakers at the same time as it adjusts the Beam, and I’m getting that awful out of synch sound. I thought the HDMI (ARC) would recognise an external device connected and not use the TV speakers. Any suggestions? 

Hi, I live in Hong Kong, and I have an active subscription with NetEase Cloud music 网易云音乐, and Youtube Music. I have tried to set my profile location to China, to eventually add that music service to my account. But then now I could not use Youtube music. I have to pick either Youtube music or NetEase Cloud music. But I use both. Any workaround other than keep switching my profile location? This might be a request to the Sonos Team. Is it possible to allow NetEase Cloud music in Hong Kong? Or the other way around Youtube music in China?  

How can I block someone using python from controlling Sonos One?

They aren’t recognized through Spotify

why we don’t have access to all features including Trueplay with Android, and when you think we will have access to them???

I cant find my favourite radio stations. Why are you getting rid of the radio stations. So annoying. Time to move to another speaker. 

I have a 5.1 set up with my surrounds being two Ones. When I play music through an app like Spotify are the surrounds playing in stereo mode?  I'm assuming the best setting for this would be Full for the surround speakers?

Good morning. Where I currently reside, the WiFi network has several Sonos devices connected that I’m not interested in seeing in my list of devices.  Can they be omitted somehow? Here’s what Im seeing from Spotify, and my Sonos account with only 1 device present: Thanks! Gio

When I’m drilled down into a music source, for example a song from the Music library, I’d like a way to quickly return to the Select a Music Source page. Is there one?
