Controllers & Music Services

I have a typical 5.1 setup in the Living Room.  I want to temporarily move one of my Play:1s to the deck to play some music.I assume I do this by ungrouping my living room and using it independently, then regrouping once I’m done, but wanted to check in here to see 1) If there is an “easier” process, and 2) If there are any potential problems or extra steps that I’ll be stuck with by doing so.Ultimately I’ll probably buy another speaker to avoid this, but this is a more immediate need.Thanks!

I ran a Sonos system for several years without any big issues but today I updated my wifi thingies and a question arose. Me and the wife have Spotifu Duo and want to use our Sonos system with our own Spotify accounts so we don’t mess up our different lists and suggestions (nowhere near similar taste in music).When I look at Sonos support page they state that it’s easy, just add another Spotify service in the Sonos app. It’s just that when I do so Sonos state that I dont have to add a new service since I already have an active one. So maybe time to update the support page or what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

A few minutes ago, I accidentally saved a new playlist with the name of an older Sonosplaylist, copying over the old list. Anyone know of a way to recover the earlier version of the old playlist? 

Is it possible to have alarms play on pre-grouped rooms and not just “include in grouped rooms”? Throughout the day, I like to have alarms to play specific play lists in different parts of my home. This would be a very desirable feature.

I have a Setup  Living Room - One SL 2 pcs Bedroom  - Arc + Sub Kitchen - Sonos Five Outdoor - In celling Speaker Sonance + Amp  I want to ask that can we play multiple songs (Different tracks) from Sonos App is it possible , if yes then how can we do that , please explain a little bit. 

I woke up this morning to an app update, which also updated the speakers.  The update shows 13.3.2 however only the Arc, Beam and Amp updated their version, the rest of my speakers stayed on 13.3.  Assuming this is an update to the HT setups, I am curious if any of you have noticed this update bringing more than bug fixes.

I am subscribing to UTube Premium for some of the video features so want to also drop Amazon Music and use UTube Music rather than pay monthly for two similar services.Is there any way to migrate my albums and playlists from Amazon to UTube?If not, there should be. I ran into this same issue a long time ago when I moved from Google Play Music to Amazon Music.Perhaps editing some internal file on the PC or the Android or is all of this kept in the speakers themselves or on the Sonos site in some database? It would be nice to have a conversion tool that  would convert to the extent possible if not completely when possible. I use the S1 system.Thx

S2 controller app does not open on Android version 9

Hi, Please let us add several group sound settings to be able to save and quickly access.  Either when changing the place to sit or the type of source used (TV, Music, Podcasts...) I always have to adjust the sound loudness settings manually over and over again. Additionally if you can not only save the sound loudness setting but also the Equalizer setting for it as well.  It would be great if this feature could be added. Best regards,Henrik

The latest Synology DSM updates disables NTLMv1 because it is not secure!Is it possible to get Sonos S1 to use NTLMv2 for better security?Or some other server protocol?Thx, Dave

I changed PCs and now cannot connect Sonos to my music library. I get the following error msg:Unexpected error occurred while importing playlists.Unexpected error occurred while importing playlists.Only one album, one track appears in the Sonos Controller Music Library area.I have re-mapped to the music files, and updated the music library numerous times.I have also checked standard ports and firewall rules, and have deleted/re-installed Sonos numerous times with and without Nortons. Here is my diagnostics confirmation #:1520953407 Thoughts?

Audacy has a number of “exclusive” stations that appear to be curated streams (for example, Americana, by the DJ Lin Brehmer at wXRT in Chicago).  I can access that exclusive station directly from the Audacy website and from the wXRT website -- but I cannot find it on my Sonos.  All I see on Sonos are the actual radio stations (including wXRT).  QUESTION:  how do I access an audacy exclusive station on my Sonos system?thanks

I’m having an issue which with the Sonos controller not reading my audio files from my NAS drives; I have had no issue with this until the most recent update version 13.2. Looking on this forum and the wider internet there is clearly been a number of instances of this happening in the past.So after painstakingly going through as many forum responses as I can I’ve tried the following to no avail:Removed said folder from Sonos app and tried re-mapping to the library (this is where I’m now stuck as the Sonos App will not allow the folder to be added due to Access to shared folder is denied message)Restarted everything - Laptop, Router, NAS multiple times.Turned off firewalls on all devices still no change.Changed permissions of various folders to allow full access from anywhere, again no change.Opened a number of Ports on my PC/Router which where suggested by the Sonos help FAQ’s, no change.Ensured my computer had the correct NODE type set up (it does).Checked the date and time zone both

Hello. I bought my Sonos system in 2015, and in 2018 they went with our household belongings into storage.  I have resurrected them and have gathered that I had to reset it.  Then it asked if I wanted to update to S2, which I did, but my play one wasn't compatible so I reset it again.  Then I didn’t get Spotify on it, so reset it again.  But this time I get the message at the top of the app “not connected to the internet” when it is.  I turned the router off and on.  Is it possible I have reset it too many times.  And why could I not see the “add services” button so I could get iHeart and Spotify onto it when I did have it connected.  It’s all very frustrating

Hi,I use the sleep option on my iMac Sonos app, is there a similar sleep timer option for Sonos for the iPad? regards….Simon

My mini-controller sits atop all open windows on my Mac.  Is it possible to have the mini-controller more transparent so it doesn’t obscure other windows?  Or is it possible to have the mini-controller float or appear underneath other windows?

Kan ik naar de radio luisteren met Sonos? 

 Do you know why this pop up amazon add comes and makes it impossible to control the app?  

I am probably being stupid but two questions. Why when I add a song to the play next queue does it seem to add the entire play list? Second why if you clear the queue does it stop play the song that is playing at the time? this seems stupid to me, I have lost count of the times when we have been having a house party and the song that has been queued doesn’t play, I look at the queue and theirs loads stuff from playlists that I may have choose a sonf from.  When I clear it is stops the song I’m was playing and everyone boos lol.  any advice?

Before I added the sub the bass on beam with SL rears was pretty good, since adding the sub aware that the low frequencies go to the sub but when you switch off the sub in the app would expect this to return as prior without but all it does is switch off the sub.  Is this normal or there an issue?

My husband has an iPhone and an iPad, I too have an iPhone and an iPad. We both have downloaded the Sonos app, and we have both logged into the app using a single Sonos account. We share one Spotify account.  All four of our devices are linked to our home Wi-Fi, and the Sonos Move is also linked to the same home Wi-Fi. I can connect to the Sonos without any problem, on MY devices, but my husband’s devices cannot connect to the Sonos Move, although we have gone through the troubleshooting/connection prompts several times, with no luck.  His Sonos app does show the Sonos Move, but it says he is not connected to it.  Shouldn't we be able to freely use all four of those devices?  We are only trying to use one of them at a time, by the way. Thanks for any insights.

I am new to Sonos.  My Sonos Connect is attached to my desktop, thus leveraging the desktop app to play.  I want to know if there is a way to play the system from my Sonos iPhone app when the desktop is shut down?  I don’t want turn it on just to run the Sonos system. 

Amazon music has a nice “my soundtrack” feature, which is based around music from bands you like, but also helps you discover similar bands and plays some nice random music. I can search a band “station” on the Sonos App, but I can’t find anything to do with “My soundtrack” - I’m guessing its just not available?

I am a long time sonos user but and just getting into podcasts. I don’t where to start accessing and playing podcasts.
