Sonos Desktop app keeps popping up on my screen with each new song played

Sonos desktop app keeps popping up on my screen with each new song played. This is quite annoying when you have other windows open, doing work and it pops up forcing you to close it.

Is there a setting I'm not seeing?

    @samsal, the PC app should only come up from the background when there's a message displayed, such as a failure to play a song. The next time this happens, can you submit a diagnostic and post the confirmation number? We'll check it out and let you know if there's an error message flashing on screen that you didn't see.

    Thanks, looks like there are a lot of error messages in there trying to play one specific song "Gentle Sea Waves on Flat Beach" off of Amazon Music. Can you check if it's in your queue and remove it from there?

    Do you have any trouble with other Amazon Music songs? If not, perhaps it's a particular issue with just that track.

    It is not just that song, it occurs with every song that is played.

    Hello, did you ever find a resolution to this issue? We are running Sonos with a PC in the studio. The Sonos desktop continues to pop up every time a new song starts. We have to minimize this every time to continue working on the desktop PC. I can't find any settings that will allow me to turn this notification off. Can you advise?

      It must be throwing multiple errors. Look in Help>Error Log.

        And they are all from today and yesterday with the "Unable to play - the connection to Spotify was lost". I don't know it's giving that error. It hasn't crashed on us since I connected directed to the router and went off of wifi last month
