Music Library

Why has Sonos withdrawn support for 3rd party (e.g. Brennan) Music Libraries and pushed us onto web based services. I have 400+ albums and and have no desire to use organisations lie Amazon or Spotify. I cannot be alone with this situation.

New Sonos App and Accessibility

At Sonos, we take accessibility seriously and aim to build listening experiences that everyone can enjoy. The redesigned Sonos app was built from the ground up to support both modern and future Sonos experiences, and as part of that, we’ll be implementing ongoing improvements and enhancements over time. On May 7, the app will have basic support for screen readers, allowing you to swipe through and read through all items on the screen. Following launch, ongoing improvements to the accessibility of the updated mobile app will remain a top priority. A software release available May 21 will improve screen readers so you can select items on screen in any order. Further improvement will be added to the experience regularly until we reach parity with the S2 app by late June.  In the meantime, the Sonos Windows and Mac applications will continue to operate as normal until our new web app has met our accessibility standards. Thank you for your patience as we continuously improve the accessibili

iPhone Volume Control

I know that this has been discussed on other threads, and I know that Sonos’ position is that the controller app does not support hardware volume control on iOS. And as a recent convert from Android to iPhone I was disappointed to find that I had to unlock my phone and go to the app every time I want to control the volume. However, on a recent trip to visit my brother, I was complaining about this, and he says, “it works fine for me.” Lo and behold, I tried it on my phone and was able to control the volume on his S1 system. When I contacted Sonos about this, there only answe was “we don’t support hardware controls on iOS.” Hmmmmm.

Android app 80.00.04 released May 8th

The new app seems to no longer have an associated widget for home screen. This is a significant drop in functionality that is now missing. Anyone else calling for return of the widget?  Not to mention loss of some content services that I previously enjoyed

New, May 2024 Sonos S2 app network access

I’ve just upgraded to the new, May 2024 Sonos S2 app.  It wants local network access (photo).  It already has this.I’ve toggled Sonos’ local network access on and off in iPadOS settings.  No luck.  The app just keeps asking for access.  I’m now unable to use my Sonos system from the device I use most.Does anybody else have this problem, and is there a solution other than to wait for Sonos to fix it?Peter

New App is terrible

Hi,Is there a way to downgrade this poorly thought out new app to the previous version.The new app is not user friendly and does not appear to have a “shuffle” option for my music. I have a NAS with over 12,000 songs and now it appears the sonos app will not provide the ability to shuffle the songs. Either I have to downgrade the app to the previous version or I will have to find another method to play my in house library on the sonos setup.This supposed update is quite obviously inferior to the old one. Certainly won’t purchase anything else from sonos unless this gets rectified. Butch

New App: Is it really an official Sonos app?

I am trying to install the new app.  It won’t install correctly and requires several reboots of my iOS devices to open. Even then it has completely screwed up my home audio system. It constantly gives incorrect “cannot connect” messages.  It won’t recognize my Sonos products.  It won’t recognize my third-party music apps.  The search function is defective.  When I finally got some music to play, it defaults to blasting music from my back patio speakers only.  When I change to indoor speakers only, it plays different songs out of different speakers.  Then some of the speakers disconnect.  Then all of the speakers disconnect, and, at the same time, it reverts to blasting music out of the backyard speaker. Are we sure that this is an official Sonos app?  It feels like some sort of joke or maybe malware?

last.fm

The new app removed the last.fm service so we can no longer scrobble music. Thanks for not giving us the heads up before upgrading. So upset!

Post app update music services don’t work

This update is missing a lot of features that were previously available. We use this in our gym to manage our Sonos system. After the update FitRadio no longer works as none of the genres, playlists or favorite artists/DJ’s are visible. Even after removing and reauthorizing the service. So a paid for service is worthless currently. Pandora is limited in functionality after the update as well. Not sure the purpose of this update but Sonos should provide an opportunity to roll back or fix asap.

unable to add songs in Apple Music to queue with new sonos app

I just updated to the new Sonos app which looks great. I use Apple Music and there’s no way to select an individual song and add it to a queue. The “play next” and “add to end of queue” options are gone. The only option is “replace queue”.  This is a big bug as I use and revise my queue all the time. Will this be addressed in future updates?

Web app - Play a tracK?

My Bandcamp subscription to Peter Gabriel just dropped two more tracks onto the “Lunatics in the Big Room” bootleg he issued us. I can get the album up in the web player, but there is no way to play an individual track - all I can do is play the whole album and then skip the tracks I have already heard. What am I missing? The tracks look clickable, but clicking them does nothing, and the dot-menu is greyed out.

LG C9 + Arc + UB820 / Multichannel PCM for DTS Blu-Ray discs

I’m running an LG C9 with a Panasonic UB820 Blu-ray player, Sonos Arc + Sub gen 3 + One SL surrounds. The lack of DTS support on the Arc has been frustrating for non Dolby encoded Blu-ray discs, so I have been eagerly awaiting the multichannel PCM update.It’s finally arrived (thanks, Sonos!) and I tried playing a DTS encoded Blu-ray and… no dice. Still stereo PCM 2.0. Has anyone running a similar set-up managed to get 5.1 PCM output from the Arc?The C9 supports eARC and multichannel PCM, I’m using 48gbps HDMI cables that support up to 8k60Hz, all of the devices are up to date, I have the C9 set to PCM with eArc enabled, DTS output set to PCM on the UB820… I’m really at a loss here. Any ideas or suggested settings?

New GUI, Same Disfunctionality!

I haven’t even checked other posts and them likely seeing to the choir here, but I’m at least vaguely amused by the new Sonos app that is more difficult to navigate through and has the same exact issues as the previous app. Now they’re just harder or impossible to get to. I haven’t even checked other posts and them likely seeing to the choir here, but I’m at least vaguely amused by the new Sonos app that is more difficult to navigate through and has the same exact issues as the previous app. Now they’re just harder or impossible to get to. For example,well, this might be a new issue, the app continually tells me that it is playing in the living room, even when I select other rooms.

spatial audio

Hi everyone,I've got a Samsung S95b TV, Sonos Beam gen 2 and Eras300 and a Neflix premium account. Why are specific spatial audio movies not showing the spatial audio sign on my TV? I can see it on my Samsung Tab s8 ultra, but not on the TV. What am I missing? Sonos System Info shows audio in: Dolby Multichannel PCM 2.0 for my beam gen 2. Is this how it supposed to be to get spatial surround audio on my eras 300?

New Sonos v80 app is so annoying

I just downloaded the new v80 Sonos S2 app and first impression is not too good. Hope they change this soon. This is what is foundThe app gives an error when trying to play a radiostation on MyTuner Radio service in the Recently played section.  Some contact card are so big that when you want to swipe down to close it, I open the Homescreen/Lockscreen of my iPhone. When I want to play a radio station from the Favorites section an additional unnecessary card is opened with only a Play button. Why not start playing without opening this screen? The favorites are now mixed. So Spotify and RadioStation favorites are in one list. That is annoying.  The list of favorites is not sorted in any way neither can they be ordered according to my favorites.  The room for the name of the system on top of the Home Screen is very limited and so, it is always abbreviated with dots.  What is your annoyance?

New app has screwed up my Audible access

I use the audible UK library.   This is accessible using the old S2 app.  Using the new Web app, this defaults to Audible.com and my library is no longer available.😝 Best descriptor for this catastrophic update: car crash, dumpster fire, piss up in a brewery.  You choose!
