New Sonos Radio bad language?

Doesn’t appear to be at this time.

I think Sonos has a duty of care issue with there Radio Service.  There is no advisory warnings. Not sure who to report that to but hope someone is listening.  I’m very disappointed that a premium brand has overlooked this.

AFAIK only three music services on Sonos support parental controls today: Amazon, Apple and YouTube. Not even Spotify, so this isn’t as important a feature as some may think/expect.

Deezer places EXPLICIT or E tags on its music so we will continue to use there services.

The ‘Kids Rock’ station is named in such a way that it looks like it is aimed at children.  However, it appears to be mainstream pop and rock hits that don’t have explicit language.

I am looking for this too. I have been checking out the new Sonos Radio stations, and was enjoying Rock Pantheon, then Alternative Energy… until Rage Against the Machine and NIN (and even Mumford & Sons) came on… lots of explicit language, and I’ve got a 3 and 5 year old. You can’t skip songs!

This was frustrating to say the least, while tiling a bathroom floor. Come on Sonos, you’re better than this. You offer parental controls in your own app, how can it not apply to your own music service?

I too found bad language an issue. Initially I tried Thom Yorke's playlist on the 'Curated Sound System'. Unfortunately it opened with a track which sounded like continuous mains hum. I then switched to 'Sonos Sound System' to hear an interview with a female musician. However after several minutes of utterly tame sycophantic questioning, dealt with politely by the artist, the interviewer then threw in the F bomb and I switched off. 

Not at all what I had expected. We often have young children in the house and bad language is just not appropriate on the radio for this and many other reasons. 

Hi everyone, thanks for asking! I’ve made sure to pass along your feedback to the team. Some stations are designed to be family friendly, such as that kids rock that was mentioned, but there isn’t a way to filter what’s playing. I’ll let you know if there’s any news around changes in this regard in the future for the Sonos stations.  

I have to disagree. To me it is not a problem to listen to music the way the artist has created it. If children hear something their parents don’t like them to say themselves the parents should talk to them about it. Bringing up children is not removing al obstacles from their paths, but it is about  talking  with your children about how you view the world and letting them make their own choices. Censorship is the easy way out.

I really hate the way Spotify for example has given in to this pressure, by not implementing the choice to hear music as the artist has intended it, but to confront me with silences and censored music.

@106rallye While I wholeheartedly agree with you, I think there is a cultural difference here. We are from a country that has historically been very liberal on things like this. Additionally, most of the bad language we are exposed to is not in our native language. But yes, the general consensus here is more “if you don't like it, turn it off”, and to talk to your kids about what they are hearing and why such language may not be appropriate in day to day conversation.

Off-topic, somewhat political opinion:

I do appreciate that an indicator or warning for explicit content may be good to have.
