Spotify will not play via Sonos. The Devices menu on Spotify recognises the Sonos device, and indicates that it is connected. It is green and states that it is "listening on" the device, but no music plays. My sonos app will play music via my Spotify account, but my Spotify app will not play mus...

Google Music "Recently Added" Playlist

It would be great if the “Recently Added” auto-gen playlist from google music was listed under the playlists in the Sonos app. From what I can tell, there is no way to navigate to it currently in the app. Also, why is there no direct link in the app to provide feedback? Talk about friction!

Why can't I remove TuneIn radio from my sources?

I have no intention of ever using it, no sure the reasoning behind forcing it on your users. I can see having it set up after installation as an example, but forcing it to stay there seems a bit too far.

Sorting the order of music services

When I search for a song/artist/album, the app (ios) will give me a few results from my music library, then a few results from soundcloud, then a few results from spotify. I'd like to change this order, so it shows me spotify results first, as I use that most. Is there a way to sort the order of mus...

Audible, again

I made the mistake of buying a bunch of Sonos stuff in the mistaken impression, based on clear statements in Sonos and other advertising that certain features either worked or would shortly work. Now I can see from this forum that audible has been a promised service for at least a couple of years,...
