Spotify radio stations not playing today on Sonos

This issue pops up every few days. I keep submitting diagnostics but no sign of change yet.

By the way I am still on Sonos 1 because I have a bunch of older Sonos devices. Are people seeing this on both Sonos 1 and Sonos 2 systems?

One ‘feature’ I notice is that this usually happens if I am trying to start a new radio station (A) in a new room (Y). But if I start a station (B) that was previously playing in a different room (Z) (by rechecking in the Rooms dialog) station A starts OK in room Y. And then if I start station B in room Y it now starts OK.

That seems to be a reliable workaround. But who knows why it works?

I am having the same trouble with Spotify artists channels always. Sonos always says “do a systems reboot, unplug everything, yadda yadda yadda” and that is complete BS most of the time. Their canned answer when they have absolutely no idea why something happens. Call Spotify and they tell you it is Sonos, and that is true it is Sonos because I can listen to everything through the app with my headphones. I love my speakers but it is too bad they cannot fix these little annoying problems

I have a Spotify Premium account. So far, SONOS plays everything on Spotify except for a Spotify radio program titled “The Blues Kitchen Radio.” The program plays fine on my Bluetooth speakers. What can I do to get it to play on SONOS?

Stuff like this makes me think that my next speaker will be straight Bluetooth. No need to mess with the frustrating SONOS middle man.

You’ve posted the same issue in another thread. As previously explained, Spotify has chosen, at this point, not to expose podcasts to users of Sonos. Sonos has absolutely no control over this, it is entirely up to Spotify. Perhaps voicing your displeasure to Spotify might be more effective than doing it here, as Spotify does not maintain a presence in these forums.
