Controllers & Music Services

If new Sonos products are purchased, how long will they receive software support?   I ask because it was never made clear that Sonos would intentionally cease to support products that work perfectly (aside from Sonos’s decision to cease supporting them).    

I own 3 speakers gereration 1 + bridge.   You buy speakers 7-8 years ago and now they say: “ops, sorry, you can’t use them anymore?”   ABSOLUTELY  SHAME ON YOU SONOS YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED

I have a sonos on a dedicated IOT subnet and things have been fine with both OSX and Android controllers up until the most recent update.  Now, only Android controllers work and OSX controllers are failing to see the IGMP messages.   While I understand that Sonos does not support cross subnet setups, it would be great if Sonos could take steps to avoid breaking this scenario for people like me who had things working fine.   Please unbreak OSX controllers so that IGMP works fine with them again across subnets as it did before, and as it still does for Android.   I’m left as a customer wondering if I can trust any future updates, which is a bad feeling.    Please note that I am not requesting Sonos help with network configuration, and I understand that Sonos does not offer that, nor do I require it.   I am only asking Sonos to undo whatever broke this scenario for the last OSX update.    

With the end of software updates for legacy devices in May, will I be able to add new Sonos products to a system containing legacy devices. My experience is that when adding a new device a software update has always been necessary.

Why should perfectly functional gear be binned because of lack of memory/processing power? An external device very like a raspberry pi with loads of memory can be integrated into the sonos system with a bit of ingenuity. The problem for any size of speaker system should cost 50 quid. Or put a sonos badge on it and charge 200.  This is planned obsolescence and there are enough items in landfill without needing a specific hole just for sonos' junk.   Fix this legacy problem with an external stand-alone memory/wifi/processing raspberry pi either as a day hack or put a sonos badge on it and vastly over charge for a simple solution.   The speakers are great, just a pity the imagination of the executive profitseekers at sonos.   Johnnydot 

I have a soundbar and two ‘Play 1’ speakers.  I’ve control all on my iphone with SONOS app.  Mostly use it for watch TV/satellite shows.  Have a whole house internet system and everything is run via wifi…..   Would like to play/listen to my huge collection of cd’s from my computer, use it’s player.  Am currently confused by all the information I’m reading regarding this.   Advise please. . . . . . . .

I’ve owned my Sonos system for over a decade.  A common usage model over the years has been to create queues on the fly.  I have noticed recently that the “Play Next” and “Add to End of Queue” are no longer options in the IOS Controller App.  I find a song I want to add to the queue and click on the three dots next to the song and see:   Add Song to My Sonos Add to Sonos Playlist Play in Another Room… Play Now   The MAC controller still includes the old queue functions, so I think the functionality must still exist.  Is there a reason to remove these options from the IOS app?

I have two Sonos One SL speakers and a Vizio 58” Class V TV (model V585-G1). The TV has Apple AirPlay 2. I would like to use AirPlay 2 to play video content on the screen and audio through the Sonos, but can’t seem to get it to work. Is this possible?

I installed a new Blue Curve Router and was able to get Sonos up and working on my iPhone but not my Mac. The instructions don’t work because I can’t find how to update my network setting in the app on my Mac.  I tried attaching an ethernet cable (which I didn’t have with my previous set up but that didn’t help my Mac.) How can I update my network settings in my Sonos app on my Mac?

Why isn’t Sonos keeping up with the times and allowing mobile devices to create playlists?  For personal use mobile devices, tablets, phones, etc. are taking over our computing world.  Computers, and other devices such as NAS are not as common as they were 5 years ago.  I have read in previous posts that a NAS could be used for storing my music and a playlist created from that.  However, the starting cost of a NAS is approaching the cost of my Sonos 1. I store all my music on my phone, about 40 gb. This is a compilation of music for 30+ years. My phone is always with me and on when I try and play music from my Sonos 1.  It is the only device I plan to use to control my Sonos 1.  I do have my music on my computer as well, but my computer is not always turned on, and it goes to sleep after 15 minutes without activity when it happens to be turned on.  I have tons of music and it becomes more difficult when I can’t create playlists.  Searching for specific albums and putting them in a 1 ti

Hi! Why can't I finde Nextory on music services? :) 

Does anyone else have tablets in their house that they use to display (and control) their Sonos music? I would be interested in what a “kiosk mode” would look like for at least the Now Playing screen. Some ideas:  Album art is the hero visual  Artist and track text easily visible at a distance  Large tap targets for track and volume Easy access to adding/removing rooms  Optimized landscape layout  Anyone else interested or have similar ideas? 

I used to be able to use Crossfade on my speaker however now it’s just blurred out after doing an update on the app. Any suggestions on how I can use it? It’s for Spotify

Hi, I’ve added an URL to a German radio station (Antenne Bayern official URL: http://www.antenne.de/webradio/antenne.m3u) to the TuneIn radio station list. Listening works perfectly well, but each time when turning on one of my Play:1 devices for first time of the day (maybe later too) to listen to this radio station, I first get a short ad that interrupts the current live radio stream. To be precise, the ad plays first and after some seconds, the radio station program starts. One can distinguish this annoying ad from the normal broadcasting, because when the ad streaming finishes, the currently broadcast song continues somewhere in the middle or the presenters start speaking somewhere in the middle of a sentence. Those ads are not part of the radio station program. While I can understand that TuneIn tends to earn some money for its free services, I do not understand why those ads also appear when using the freely available official Antenne Bayern app, that I can add from the Sonos app

This has bugged me since I first bought my Sonos Connect. My friend got a Bluesound Node and it has no issues with such a simple task, you got sorting options. I read Sonos is blaming the streaming services everytime someone asks. But since Bluesound solved it… It can't be impossible to fix, can it?   I bought the Connect to try Sonos out. Now I'm about to invest in equipment for my entire house and if Sonos can't listen to their customers, I have no other option than to sell my Connect and buy Bluesound equipment. People have been asking for this many, many years! What's so difficult?

I just got a new Samsung Watch and was wondering if there is an App for the watch?

Hello; I’m also getting the same message, Sonos no longer supported on my Samsung Galaxy Android OS. I read others with this problem have version 4, but I have version 5.1.1 OS, and I’ve had this device about a year. How can my OS be obsolete already?? Advice please!! Thanks. Stef 11

Music library on Google Drive - is it possible and how?I would like to place my music on Google Drive and access it from Sonos app, but how do i address the music folder on my Google Drive in the app?

Good morning I’ver been a Sonos user for a long time, initially to allow my to play my CD collection from my hard drive. I now have Sonos in 8 rooms and use it with my Spotify and Apple Music services, but I would like to create a separate Sonos set up, to run in parallel with my existing installation, that would JUST play music from my hard drive. I would like to use a much earlier version of the desktop controller, perhaps on it’s own dedicated computer, and not have it nag me to upgrade every time I use it. Initially I would be happy to use this in one room only.   Can anyone advise me on what would be involved in achieving this goal?  TIA Milt

Is there a way to adjust the Bass on MOVE? 

I have an old Droid Turbo. A Sonos notification popped up yesterday stating "Stopping the service may affect Sonos homescreen widgets.". And a link to Stop Service.  There was an update, which I have now installed, but the notification remains. I can't clear it.  I restarted my phone. Still there.Anyone know why it's there and how to clear it..?  I didn't generate it.Thanks!   

How do I select to play all songs by an artist or composer? Currently, Sonos seems to limit me to only playing the Artist's/Composer's songs by album or individual song.

I can play music on my play:1 system but not the connect - it has disappeared.  My phone can connect to and play on both systems.  There were no problems before Catalina.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac app.

I have an iPod Touch.  Can the music files on the iPod be connected/played on a Sonos system?  How would I go about connecting the iPod Touch to a Sonos system?

Are you able to connect your turntable to the Sonos Amp ‘line in’ input and play music from vinyl to either a play 1,3 or 5 that is on your wireless network.  Vic
