I’m trying to stream files from Windows Media Player to a new Beam Gen 2. The server is serving files to other devices without issue on the local network, including Denon receiver and a bluray player. I have rebooted the Beam, and I have optimized the wireless to the extent that I can.

The error is “An error occurred while adding track to the queue (701).

Amazon prime music is working fine on the Beam. It is my understanding Sonos supports FLAC files.

To wrap this up. I talked to Sonos support. Using Windows Media Player as a music server is not supported. If I run the Sonos PC app and set it up as a server it does work, and by work I mean I can see the Sonos Music Library on the Android app and stream music to the speaker. Apparently it is a codec issue which their app handles.

Thank you for all the input. I’d still like to find a simple NAS type solution that does not involve Windows, any recommendations for that would be helpful.
