I’ve recently swtiched to the new SOnos app. Since then, the only radio stations I’m able to play are those in the UK. Every other radio station eg, 538, Cafe Del Mar and may others will not play at all. I think we can eliminate that these stations have changed the way they boradcast, so can only assume it’s an issue with the new Sonos controller. Can someone help please. Thanks

Would be great to see an official answer on this instead of speculation.

Agreed, although it’s not really speculation. Sonos said the TuneIn was a partner in providing content for Sonos Radio and this article explains why TuneIn currently don’t have a viable UK business.

But yes, with Sonos being a premium product I would expect them to make some kind of announcement as to why their radio service has suddenly stopped working properly.

Does anyone have any work arounds?

As I said above: “If you have a direct url for the stream you can add that to your Sonos using the desktop controller“

Thanks controlav.

Anybody got a stream for Beachgrooves Radio and Miami Soundsets please?

I tried controlav’s method for Beachgrooves using http://stream.beachgrooves.com:8000 but no joy.

THANKS

@R-ADER I think you need this: https://stream.beachgrooves.com:9000/stream.mp3

You can find it in the page source of the hosting website, if you know where to look.

Add an Internet radio station to Sonos

Have a favorite radio station and it’s not listed in Sonos? Try adding it manually using the steps below. Sonos supports MP3, AAC and WMA audio formats for streaming Internet radio stations, just make sure you have the streaming URL handy. Radio by TuneIn must be added to your Sonos system in order to manually add a radio station URL.

How do I find the Streaming URL for my station?
Contacting the station you wish to add directly is often the easiest way of finding the Streaming URL. Just make sure the stream is of one of the compatible formats; MP3, AAC or WMA.

Using the Sonos App for iOS or Android:

From the Browse tab, select Radio by TuneIn
Tap My Radio Stations
Tap the three dots in the top right and tap Add New Radio Station
Enter the Streaming URL and Station Name and tap OK

Using the Sonos App for Mac or PC:

Select Manage and Add Radio Station.
Paste in the streaming URL of the station you wish to add, and type in the name of the station.
From the Sonos music menu, navigate to Radio by TuneIn > My Radio Stations where the newly added station will be listed.

On a Mac, the “Manage” menu can be found in the toolbar in the top left corner of the screen. On a PC, the “Manage” menu is found at the top left of the Sonos application.
