Hello 👋🏼 since the new app upgrade I’ve lost all of my radio stations they’ve disappeared! Very disappointed with Sonos as my speakers are now redundant ☹️. Does anyone know how I can get the stations back please? Mainly all stations within Ibiza Sonica, Ibiza Global radio, Blue Marlin Ibiza and Deep House Radio. Seems like Sonos gets more difficult to use every time it’s updated, seriously considering getting rid and going elsewhere. TIA

Hi I have the same problem. 
After the previous rubbish upgrade when I had to add my speakers back to the app as they disappeared. I was about to get rid of them until Sonica came back straight away. 

This upgrade though is dreadful. 
I can see Sonica in my favourites on my MacBook but not the app. 
I’ve added Tunein which is woeful. 
 

I then tried to add Sonica back to favourites on the MacBook after adding it back in (deleted and re-added) and it says ‘favourite already exists’. Check the app and it’s still not in my favourites. 

Check in Tunein and the station isn’t there at all. 

Garbage. If they weren’t hard wired into my kitchen (don’t ask) I’d be tearing them down. Why couldn’t they just leave it alone!

They are playing via Sonos Radio as TuneIn streams (with irritating pre-roll adverts).

I don’t see Ibiza Sonica under Sonos radio. 
Apologies if this isn’t what you mean!

It’s still odd that I can’t see a favourite in the app that I can see in the app on a laptop/desktop etc

If anyine has an answert to this let me know. Tune in blocks Ibiza country content for pure global and Ibiza global radio. Ive managed somehow to play via airplay through sonos (not sure how as there wasnt an option to airplay)but it wont let me favourite them in the app. All help appreciated.

You need to precisely state the name of the stations you want. I've no idea what 'Ibiza country content for pure global and Ibiza global radio' means.

I have solved this;

Here is what I did.

Install the TuneIn App onto your phone.

Within the app follow these instructions;

https://help.tunein.com/en/support/solutions/articles/151000172207-what-is-a-custom-url-

(Essentially next to “Home” at the bottom of the TuneIn App, select Library. Hit Custom Url (middle of the screen)

Add whichever station you want from here:

(For Sonica I added; http://94.75.227.133:8136)

Make sure you press the heart icon to save as a favourite.

Go back to the Sonos App.

Install TuneIn App from within the Sonos App.

Authorise the use of the TuneIn App by Signing in with your Google or Apple account.

Once that's signed in with the credentials from the TuneIn App (at the first step of this process).

Go to the TuneIn app under Favourites you will see the Radio Station.

I hope this works, I don't think I missed any steps out but if I did please let me know and I will see if I can edit this post to include.

I don't believe that you need to do the above in the same order but it worked for me following it logically. Also don't sign up for the TuneIn premium (the cross to ignore I hidden at the top right of the screen on your phone!)

Happy listening.

Tha is for this. I already have me in on my phone and I have added the url into my library and added it as a favourite, but every time I add Ibiza global radio, or pure Ibiza and also sonica I receive an error saying it isn’t available in the Uk. 
secondly when I then go to tune in via Sonos there isn’t an option to access my favourites.

any ideas?

There is some licencing./commercial dispute which impacts UK users of myTuner.  I don't think Sonos can do much about it. 

You might be able to circumvent the problem by using a VPN - time, effort, & no guarantee it would work.

Ok I have the same problem.

Until the recent upgrade of the Sonos Controllers (on Mac, PC and Android), I would add a station from “Manage:Add Radio Station” in the top (main) Menu and it would be added to Tunein | My Radio Source and I could play the station from there, or if added to Sonos Favorites, from there too.

After the recent update, the Tunein folder under “Select A Radio Source” is gone and a new folder appears “Tunein (new)” which does NOT include “My Radio Stations”. So where do stations added through the Main Menu (“Manage:Add Radio Station”) go ?    On the face of it, nowhere.

Well, there seems to be a workaround, though it could be temporary.  Go to “Manage: Service Settings” and add “Tunein” back, and all the saved stations you added in “My Radio Stations” should be back.   You should see both Tunein and Tunein (new)  among the music sources.

Though you may be tempted to remove “Tunein (new)”, but don’t. Removing it, will remove “Tunein”, and of course your stations.

Morbster71 I am not sure why you are having those issues. I don't use a VPN with my Sky broadband connection.

George_C use the app and put the stations as your favourite and they will show up in Sonos (steps above if you are wondering what I am talking about!)
