Soundcloud not playing

I usually play music from my SoundCloud account on my Sonos speakers. However, it’s two days that it keeps asking me to reauthorise, which I’ve done several times, but it still isn’t working.

I’ve tried removing and re-adding SoundCloud to Sonos, but it keeps showing the message, “Unable to browse music”

I contacted Sonos support and they can’t find any solution. 
 

Can Sonos help? Anyone has any tips?

Hi Everyone,

We can confirm that there is (still) an issue with browsing and re-authorising SoundCloud on Sonos systems. We have updated our service status page to reflect this, and have informed SoundCloud of the issue.

I hope this helps.

I have rebooted Wi-Fi hub, rebooted all Sonos devices, done system update, deleted and re-added SoundCloud service - in a loop of it wanting to re authorise which have done about 10 times with different codes.  All other music services work

The status page keeps changing from showing an issue to a green tick.  So it looks like there are some intermittent issues still.

My SoundCloud data is not loading on Sonos. I'm using iOS and it's been doing this for several days now. I downloaded the Sonos app on my macOS and it keeps taking me to re-authorize in a loop.

 

This is clearly a Sonos API issue and they need to fix it immediately. There are so many nuances with Sonos that I'm starting to wonder if I should rip it out and go with a different system. Unless Sonos can get their act together and issue an update and fix the API issue and get SoundCloud working again I'm gonna switch. If they can't get it right, it's time to short the stock!

Remember this is a user forum, we can’t do much to stop you doing anything.
