Remove Sonos Radio

The Sonos app seems to have been updated and has put Sonos radio at the top of my search results instead of Spotify. How can I revert back or better still remove the Sonos radio all together?

    Sonos Radio cannot be removed. And you can’t change the order of the search results. The order goes like this:

    1. Local Music Library
    2. Sonos Radio
    3. All other music services in alphabetical order

    The option to remove Sonos radio should definitely be there, it's beyond irritating to have it shoved in my face every time I search for something. If it has to be there, the option to pick an order for your services (something that should also be a standard option) so you can put it below other services should be developed urgently.

      Hi @Squangley et al

      Welcome to the Sonos Community!

      Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!

        I’d also love a checkbox or something of the like to hide Sonos Radio, that way the focus is more on the services I feel more comfortable using.

        I can certainly understand having Sonos Radio as a default option to drive adoption of the service. However, those of us that have tried it and prefer other services, it would be much better UX to allow us to optionally change this behavior (either by checkbox disable or a search reordering option).

        Thanks for the consideration @Corry P !

          I seond this. Remove Sonos Radio from my search results, it’s deeply annoying.

            +1 from me. I don’t mind Sonos Radio hanging around, but I really want to have my Apple Music search results at the top of the list. It makes no sense to show Sonos Radio results first when I’m searching for an artist.

              I only use Apple Music, don’t want any other service playing through my Sonos setup.  This new way of bypassing my preferred service (that I’m paying for) is anti-competitive and anti-customer.  I HOPE that this is a glitch and Sonos quickly adds an option to prefer one streaming service as default ASAP.  If not, I may seriously return this entire Sonos setup..
