Recent sonos email survey

Anybody else done the survey? I thought it was really thorough, one of the best thought-out ones I have every done. Lots of insightful questions into what sonos users would like to see happen in the future. Several options to state you own chromecasts, and then request intergration, which would enable bbc iplayer being cast to sonos :cool:

Always asked to log again in as my password is incorrect.

Every time I go into the forum I find I'm logged out. Entering my password gives the message that my password is incorrect, but when I enter it, it logs me in. I've tried the reset password option but still it's not recognized when I first go to the forum. Deleting it and entering it again works. Help please!

Paving the way for an Amazon powered Sonos?

In light of Sonos' current effort in integrating the Amazon Echo/Alexa system as a control device, I wonder if this announcement might add some opportunity in the future to have it integrated inside the speaker as well. https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/13/amazon-alexa-growth-hardware-software-dev-kit/

Easy Equalizer for Sonos (app)

Hi all, I bought my Play:5 months ago and have been frustrated about how many menus we have to navigate to open the equalizer for a room. I am the kind of user the changes the equalization very often (for each album I could say), so I ended up making a personal app to do the job. Now I am releasing it as beta in Play Store. It is stupidly simple, and that is the idea. I released it as a beta for now, so you can't find it on Play Store using the search, only with the direct link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eduardosemprebon.easyeq If you find it useful I would love to hear your opinion and get feedback in case of bugs. I have no other Sonos device, so I tested the device switching with a Samsung TV =). Curious to know if it works for someone with multiple Sonos devices here. Thanks Eduardo

Dynaudio Wireless Systems

One name I know from my audiophile days, for excellent if power hungry and expensive speakers, is Dynaudio. I just came across their wireless offering that looks to me to be the first Sonos like solution by a legacy firm, admittedly at much higher price points. Multiples higher, most likely. Their streaming core unit happens to also be called Connect:) See this for more:http://www.dynaudio.com/home-audio/focus-xd#features At first reading, it looks like a Sonos contender in full traditional HiFi attire, including wireless floor standing active speakers. It would be interesting to see a comparison of a 5 pair compared to their starting speaker offering, an active stand mounted model.

Managing and listening to music library

Ok, this isn't a formulated or considered question, nore have I really looked for a solution?! - its just something that's bothering me... I wonder if anyone else has the same issue or a solution??!! With the invent of online music services - putting literally every artist and album at a couple of clicks away - I'm struggling to remember what to listen to and over the years have found my musical listening menu shrink and stagnate. I grew up with the invent of the CD - prior to MP3 players and Sonos - I had various piles of CDs - broadly speaking, 3 piles at all times: 1.) CDs I was in the process of listening to (and too lazy to take back to the rack) 2.) CDs I'd just bought (again, stacked next to the CD player) 3.) The full rack of CDs where everything else was tidied into. So my listening history had some kind of physical order. And the beauty being, this had some kind of order. As I thought about things, CDs migrated from the rack to the 'listening to' pile and back.

Sonos wireless headphones (or earbuds)

This is a question for the Sonos owners and designers. Excellent concept, the products are splendid, but why are there no options for Sonos wireless headphones? There must be millions of customers waiting for this product. Listeners who want to be mobile around the house, office or workshop without having all the speakers on in all the rooms. Listeners in a quiet space, or in bed. The hard of hearing - sometimes we need the telly on louder than the everyone else or do not want to annoy the neighbours. Come on Sonos, what's the holdup :D Please let us all know if we can look forward to wireless Sonos Headphones. Kindest regards, Kevin.

Setup Sonos with Amazon Echo

I created a video on how to setup voice control using Amazon Echo/Alexa with Logitech Harmony and I just want to share it. I am still waiting for Sonos to release the new firmware to allow direct integration with Amazon Echo. [b]https://youtu.be/zz7c6VxczPI[/b]

Interview with Sonos' Patrick Spence - The Verge

Here's an interesting article with some information on the Echo (and further) integration(s). OK, so, it won't let me post the link. Look for "The Verge" and "Patrick Spence". The article title is "How Sonos will take on Alexa and Google: by integrating them".

Sonos commercial

Did anyone see the Sonos commercial last night in between the Grammys? I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. I have never seen any of their ads before. I thought it was a great spot for it. - Kris :)

UK Price Rises

I was very disappointed to be informed of the Sonos price rises in the UK. Although the dollar rate is blamed it doesn't account for why the products are much cheaper in some countries? £100 rise on the Sub and Playbar is just too much. I am very lucky that my system is now pretty complete but think UK sales will suffer

How to be a DJ

Dear Sonos, your recent email suggesting "House Party, Family Dance Off, Weekend BBQ etc I find deeply irritating as the one thing Sonos is currently hopeless at and you have systematically mucked up over the last few "upgrades" is creating, then manipulating queues in a DJ like setting. Do you guys at Sonos actually use this software in anger, I find it hard to believe you do? Are you hell bent on integrating with voice control, streaming services etc. to the complete detriment of the original Sonos experience? The software certainly looks pretty - it just has lost all semblance of functionality. I was DJ at my home New Years Eve bash and I was hard pushed to stop myself throwing my Android Tablet out the window the interface was so rubbish. Please listen to your users and get this sorted and until then leave off sending out emails stating what the system supposedly canndo when it patently can't. If this appears to come across as a rant then I am sorry but it is

New Sonos speaker with built-in Alexa mics?

http://www.whathifi.com/news/sonos-plans-new-speaker-amazons-alexa-voice-control-tech Dunno, i read the Variety article and did not come to the same conclusion. Maybe i missed something. Looks like new CEO may be open to an IPO, though. He's a sales and marketing type, so I'm afaid Sonos' long run of great engineering and support may be ending. Too bad, if true.

New Connect owner getting confused

I have just bought a Sonos Connect (not the Connect Amp) with the intention of outputting it to a Sony Soundbar I wasn't using. I assumed that the sound bar would be classified as 'powered' speakers but I'm not getting any sound output at all. Everything else is fine, I can get playback of a turntable I've connected to the line in out of my other Play 1's and I've checked the soundbar is functioning by connecting a different source. What am I missing?

Amazon Echo and voice recognition

Dear Sonos developers - I read in today's New York Times that Sonos is working on possible Amazon Echo voice recognition integration. As a loyal Sonos user, wanted to request that this feature not simply be pushed out as an enhancement/upgrade, but made optional in some way....perhaps a simple on/off feature. I have no interest in using this feature as I have privacy concerns.
