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?

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

    JOOI, any idea how long this log keeps data for?

    They age out after a few days. I don't recall how many.

    I was not able to find a resolution. I continue to have to close the app with each new song.

    I was told that there were errors in my log as well, but the truth is it should only log the errors and continue working without popping up. I may need to invest in another type of sound system.

      Personally I'd want to resolve the cause of all these errors. They shouldn't be occurring.

      Does the window pop even when minimised?

      There are simple third party tools for hiding application windows, leaving just a notification area icon. A hidden window shouldn't pop.

      Hey ratty...Yeah it pops up every a new song starts even when it's minimized. Now that I know where to look for errors, it appears that it skipping every other song. I see an error notification "Unable to play "Beautiful" - the connection to Spotify was lost" and then it proceeds to play the next song in the queue. I can't figure out why it does this every time, but I believe that's what is causing the main screen to pop up between songs

          Same problem here. Every new song, Sonos pops up and disrupts workflow and screen view. Very annoying. Please fix asap. PC windows 10. Just started with the new update. Wish you guys would actually try your fixes before you send them out to the world...

            Could you post a screenshot of one of these pop ups, please? I’m struggling to understand exactly what they look like.
