Sonos app V80.0 does not support NAS drive

So the following note has been added to the SONOS support topic Use a NAS drive with Sonos. Sonos app version 80.0This setting is not currently available in the Sonos app for iOS or Android, but it will return in a future update.They are forcing the update, and there's no Music Library option in the system menu anymore. This is very frustrating. Very sloppy software development. Is complaining to support my only option to get this enabled again?

New SONOS App - Feedback

In the new 2024 Sonos App :Where are the alarms settings? Where is the Last.fm service?Where is the Android widget?This is a real nightmare. I hope Sonos will fix all that asap because what they did releasing this not finished app is scandalous.

Boost

Das ganze System mit 9 Komponente lief miserabel und nun habe ich den Boost abgeklemmt…. Und es läuft!  Moderator Note - Translation by Google:The whole system with 9 components was running poorly and now I have disconnected the boost... And it works!

allow to add ‘radio’ streaming url

Hello, As Sonos claims to make the new s2 app more user friendly and customable.  please allow users to add their streaming radio url’s. Tunein is horrible. I don’t wat to pay for a relay to listen commercial free.Just counted the commercials during one tune turner song! 3 times !! 3 times serious a commercial for Disneyland Paris! So disturbing. so Sonos, allow users to add streaming urls. regards, willem

Play & shuffle from folder view of local library still missing from July 22 app update

This may be buried in another topic, but a specific feature we’ve used for years is still missing from the latest July 22 app update (80.05.04): the ability to play or shuffle music from the a folder view of our local music library.I used a shelved Play:1 and a backup iPad to create a second Sonos system in order to test today’s app update (with the latest firmware). I was not especially surprised to find that feature is still missing since it’s also missing from the web player. Those controls are available in the “Songs” view of the library, which suggests the developers may have decided to only provide the function in a view that has individual songs. Having them in the folder views was admittedly an inconsistency given that none of the other non-Songs views had them, but it was a very useful inconsistency for us.

Optimal Sonos setup for Basement

Hello, I’m hoping to tap into the expertise of this forum.  We are renovating our basement, currently in the framing stage.  We would like 3 independent zones - 1. Gym, 2. Entertainment/Bar area, 3. Golf Simulator. Looking to use all Sonos products and wanted to get input from you all on the best way to setup.  Correct me if I’m wrong in this layout:Gym - 2 Sonos in Ceiling Speakers Entertainment Area - 1 ARC, 2 in Ceiling Speakers, 1 Sub Golf Simulator - 1 Arc 2 in Ceiling Speakers, 1 SubControl room would require 3 Sonos Amps.   This is the layout i’m thinking about:Much appreciate any insight to my flawed thinking.

Lossless via Apple TV 4k to Sonos speakers

Trying to understand how some of this works. Here is what I know:The Sonos mobile app now supports Lossless audio when playing Apple Music as the source (to supported speakers). It will display a “Lossless” badge to confirm this. Airplay does not support lossless audio, so playing from the Apple Music app and airplaying to Sonos speakers will be lower qualityMy question is… If I play the Apple Music app on my Apple TV 4K (connected to Sonos Beam), it shows that it is playing Lossless (on the tv screen - the sonos app simply just shows that the source is TV HDMI audio).Is the Beam getting lossless audio? More importantly, if I then group the Beam with my other Sonos speakers, will they all then get lossless audio?

App not showing the correct song playing

So my App (running on a Samsung S21 Ultra) doesn't always show the correct song being played through my speakers. If I pause and then restart, it updates and shows the correct song.Any ideas?

Analog stereo source to (6) Sonos Ones

Hi folks; I have a restaurant with 6 Sonos One’s in the dining room. They want to have the option of using a stereo line level sent to the Ones rather than the app. Is the AMP an option? Is there a piece of (3rd party) hardware available to stream to the One’s? Maybe a raspberry pi?The AMP would be great because then I could get them to add a couple of subs.Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! TIAGlenn

Search within all services

I do not see a topic with the same question. So I am wondering if I only have this issue with the new app (Android release 80.07.05). I cannot search within all services. In case I select a single service like Deezer or Soundcloud and then do a search, I then get the result from that service. But searching within all services results in an error showing the “Check service status”. Odd though, I did a clean install and the problem was solved. The next day the same issue occurs. The tested the search all service option on https://play.sonos.com and it works as it should be.Unfortunately the app still doesn't.

alarms

After so many problems with the new app this summer, here’s the latest. There’s no volume control for my alarm. It disappeared when I moved and switched internet service this weekend. Additionally, I’ve had to move twice this summer and find the Sonos app tedious because it has to reset with each new location. Anyway- is there a way to get volume back to my alarm without yet another reset?

Customer’s home tv’s

I put 3 Sonos beams in a customer’s house connected to 3 Samsung tvs. The tvs are customer supplied but we’re brand new in the box. All 3 tvs are giving an error of something unidentified in the earc port at random times. The beams are the only things connected to the tvs and when this error occurs no audio plays. I have factory reset the beams, replaced the hdmi cables, talked to Sonos tech support and submitted diagnostics, and had the customer’s reach out to Samsung to see if it was a tv issue. I find it really weird that all 3 are doing the same things. Any suggestions before I pull my hair out?

Streaming with S1

Is it possible to cast/play music to my S1 speakers using my streaming service app? If not, then is my only option using the S1 app?When I use the S1 app and try to access my streaming service (currently Amazon Music), and I use the “search” function, it doesn’t return the same results as in the Amazon Music app (sometimes it misses a few results).Is this maybe a problem with how Sonos S1 and Amazon Music work together or does anyone know a better way of using the S1 app?Thanks!

Era 300 playback issues

3 x issues with my 2 month old Era 300 all was working fine for a week or 2 then lost Alexa tried the fixes on the community chat to no avail, 2nd issue is when the speaker is unused ie over night you can’t use the app to start any music at all you have to talk to sonos “hey Sonos play music” and then it works, but still take ages to show something is playing in the app. Yesterday nothing at all couldn’t use app to do anything. Today it let me start from the app and this brings me on to the 3rd issue, I have 4 other speakers all work fine but today when I started playing the Era 300 it stopped all the other speakers. I can start playing music on all of my other speakers but as soon as you start playing on the 300 they all stop playing one by one weird 😩 anyone had or have the same problems? Was on phone to technical for 1 ½ hours on Monday still couldn’t sort so now waiting for someone else from technical to contact me.

Sonos Ace issues i have found

So i have been using sonos ace since a week now! Here are few things i found (issues, suggestions etc)- the bass is not bassy enough! Its subtle.. music has quality but the mids and lows are muffled!- we really need a 5 point level tuning ! These aren't the sonos wifi speakers to just give bass and treble control... these are the pricy headphones which have a lot of potential and sonos team are limiting it enough to frustrate us!- the headphones doesn't charge with super fast anker chargers not sure why! They do charge with 20watt apple bricks and dont with the qc chargers this needs a fix... atleast let us know if this can be fixed or not!- power button press to start must be responsive but they designed it to feel like a lag.- transparency mode is just wow.- spotify and yt music feels like s*** on android, apple music is soo dope on the same android.- the quality of the hardware is just excellent  at the airpods max level excellence, but its the software thats dooming this product. M

Setting Up Multiple Accounts from Spotify Family Plan on Sonos

I just upgraded to a Spotify Family Plan. 2 of those accounts are for kids. They each have an ipad with the sonos app installed that connects to a single Sonos network. In other words, the sonos app is installed on multiple home devices that access the same sonos account.I want to set up each family’s spotify account on their respective Sonos app. But when I login with my Spotify credentials, it only connects to my account.What am I missing? How do I set them up to access their spotify kids account on the sonos app?

Positive Story : 😍 Got two old Play:1 from ebay, and now have a nice additional 'new' stereo setup

I wanted to expand my system, but not spend too much money…I got two old (series1) Play:1 speakers  from EBay - about £60-70 each.I was dreading adding them to my system, as I’ve has issues in the past, and with all the recent (and ongoing) app debacle  I feared that installing ‘legacy’  hardware might be a nightmare…Amazingly it was the easiest install ever!   I had to factory reset one (easy job) - but both of them were added to my system so easily, registered, and joined as a stereo pair.  I’m amazed how straight forwards it was 👍Honestly, given how rubbish everything has been with Sonos recently this was a breath of fresh air for me.If you want to expand your system, and do it on the cheap  I can surely recommend this route.(a new Era100 is £200, and who wants all that ‘Smart’ stuff anyhow eh?)just wanted to share a positive story! 😍
