Is there a way to export the names of songs/artists on a playlist into word, excel or similar?

Is there any method to connect/synch up my Sonos Beam to my Bose Soundlink 2 so they are synched up and can both play TV/Pandora????

Hi a newbie here and to Sonos. I recently, last week, took delivery of an arc, sub gen 3 and two ones.On music and 5.1 they sound fantastic, I am very impressed…..BUT listening to Jack Ryan with Atmos, there are regular clicks, three at a time….there does not seem to be much atmos content to test out the system. TV has ARC but not EARC, The fire TV shows atmos. Any suggestions welcome 

We want to use Sonos 24/7 in three of our rooms but only 8-6 in 10 others. Is there a way to program this automatically?

Is the Sonos Amp weatherproof and can be installed outdoors? I mean the amp  that supports the Sonos Outdoor speakers.

Hi,   The vast majority of our household’s use of both Spotify and Sonos are playing Spotify playlists through our Sonos system.     For years, I had no problems.  Recently, however, a few of my long Spotify playlists would no longer load in Sonos when launched in the Sonos app.  I began receiving the “unable to add songs to queue” message for Spotify playlists that were around 4,000 songs or more.  I can get around the situation by launching the Spotify playlist through the Spotify app and then sending it to Sonos.  That’s more inconvenient compared to the Sonos app, but it works.    However, I also used to enjoy having some of those long playlists be morning or afternoon alarms, but when Sonos loads for an alarm a playlist that is too long, it flips to the chime instead.    Anyhow, did something change in a software update a few months back?  Is there some deep setting I can change somewhere?  Or maybe it’s just me?   Thank you.

Does Sonos Radio work with a CR200? Mine just says “unable to browse music.” Sonos Radio works fine on my phone, iPad, and desktop.

I have a couple of Play 5 (v1) and some newer play 1’s and a bridge.  I am proposing to replace the bridge with a new boost.  Will the Play 5 v1 work with the new boost?

I have an echo Dot and Sonos one, I also have some smart home items. I'm creating routines in Alexa and get the prompt Sonos one "audio actions in routines are currently not supported on this device" although it them proceeds to complete the audio action… What do I need to do to keep the audio action but stop the stupid message !

Hello everyone, I’m happy to join this community. I’m a new owner of two play 1 and i still have a sub Jamo 550 which is in really good condition.So i’m wondering, how i could connect everything together. Should i buy an sonos amp connect or something else? Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot for reading and your answer

I steam a white noise loop at night to help me sleep. However, it stops several time in the middle of the night.I use two methods. I tell Alexa to “play brown noise”. This stops several times at night. I do the same thing in my kids room (which is just an echo dot no Sonos), and it will play nonstop for days if I don't stop it. The second method is playing a track from Spotify. This method will stop once per night. All of this is a fairly new occurrence within the  last few months. My setup is Sonos Play:1 stereo pair connected with Ethernet through a switch individually and linked to an original Amazon echo. The Ethernet is new as of last night, we used to run on wifi, but I'm seeing the same issues persist, regardless of connection.

I just bought a Sonos Beam. I understand I should be able to see the Home theater audio format being played in the S2 app. How can I do that?

After several conversations with Sonos support, I have discovered my Echo Dot is causing interference with the Sonos Connect, which intermittently stops the music and produces error messages such as, “Encoding error...” or “SiriusXM no longer plays Ch. 76...” I had used the Echo Dot for a year without this problem, which began about a month ago. By now I’ve tried changing to the Wired configuration, and making sure the Channel of the 2.4G connection to my cable modem/router is different than the Sonos network channel. Alexa still works with the Sonos speakers. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Guys. I am new to Sonos and am contemplating buying the Arc.I have two questions:1. When I connect my tv, via arc to a yamaha receiver, it states dolby digital+ when I watch Netflix. Am I correct in think this means I will get dolby digital+ on the Sonos Arc, via arc, if I buy one? My tv does not have earc.2. I would like to know if I can play mp3 files, from my android phone or PC, through the Sonos Arc. If so, how is it done?Please can someone help me as I would like to know these answers before I part with the cash?For anyone who is interested, I am aware my current 5.1 system is probably better but I am looking for a minimal system. I do not have a large movie collection so the lack of Dts support is not an issue.Reviews suggest this is a good option for a stand alone soundbar.Thanks.

Hi all, s1 app on my son’s iphone not showing our sonos devices In the house WHILE all devices show on my S1 app on my iPhone without a problem. I even signed my son into my Sonos account 

Hello all. I have read many posts and am still confused.I currently have an older receiver with a wired center channel and wired front speakers. Is it possible with Sonos products to add 2 wireless rear surround speakers? I would like 5.1 surround sound.Cost is an issue so that's why I don't want to buy all Sonos products.I have read about a delay, some people saying it would exist with this setup, others saying no it doesnt. I appreciate the help.

I have a sonos playbar and 2 x sonos 1’s in my living room, a play 5 in my kitchen and a play 3 in my bedroom. For some reason (I’m guessing software) my play 3 has just stopped working with my other sonos products. It shows within the app but I can’t group it with my other sonos products. If I’ve turned power off and on again to it, it plays 1-2 seconds of music then nothing after. I’ve tried radio via the tune in app and music from Spotify. It’s the same either way.

Setup is 2x play:5 Gen2’s and a Sub Gen2. System is named “living room” and used to stream music from Spotify.  Since updating to the new S2 app, when I went directly into Spotify app as normal the living room was missing from devices to play through. So I went into the sonos app to find the right speaker was showing “not configured”.  I tried following the app in find missing devices but it wouldn’t sort the issue. Tried rebooting the full system, also the WiFi rooter but still not working.  I have now done a full factory reset on both play:5’s and the sub. When I set the first speaker up there is no problem, when I go to set the second speaker up I had a problem trying to get it to stereo pair, it eventually did but then immediately says it’s not configured. The sub says not configured but I’m presuming that’s because I don’t have a stereo pair? I’m loosing the will, any help would be appreciated.    Regards Dale

with the upgrade from S1 to S2 controller app on Mac OS, the Sonos app stops when the computer goes into sleep mode.  This never happened with S1.  How can this be resolved?

I just got a used sonos system yesterday and I am very, very, very disappointed to get drop outs listening to spotify. I have spent much of today reading forums and trying everything common.   I have a play 1 and a play 5, both on SonosNet. No wifi. I have a bridge placed in the middle with 3 meters line of sight distance from each speaker. The sones bridge is connected to wired 1 Gbit network with ethernet cable. My SonosNet is on channel 6 and my wifi is on channel 11. I can see weak neighbour networks at channel 1 and 6. Weaker on 6 than on 1.     I have submitted diagnostics with number 1961205556   I can see that the network is weak, but WHY - it is 3 METERs in clear line of sight. I have 5 meters clear line of sight between play 1 and 5 as an alternative. I can’t (and won’t) run wires. It doesn’t seem reasonable.  

I have a Samsung QE65Q7FNA TV and a Sonos Arc soundbar. When connected via HDMI-ARC it works for a while but then the soundbar stops being the audio output and the TV reverts to its speaker.  If I use optical connection instead this doesn’t happen but then cannot control the volume with the Samsung remote because it is not an IR remote.  From what I’ve read in other threads, this is a known issue for certain Samsung TVs and the Sonos Arc. Does anyone have any updates or suggestions?

I’m using the Sonos 1 app on a Catalina 10.15.7 Mac. It was working perfectly until I (intentionally) erased everything and added it back fresh. Now I’m getting an error “Unable to Play “song name.mp3” access to //Macname/Music denied.”I am running Bitdefender and gave Sonos access to my music files, and in macOS preferences I gave Sonos 1 full disk access.Any other thoughts?

I am new to Sonos and bought an Arc with two speakers for the TV in lounge. However, I am trying out the Sonos One and Sonos One SL in the kitchen and they are fabulous. My issue is that Alexa was working fine with the One but then I paired it with the SL and it has stopped working.The shop told me I could pair them and still use voice assistant. Help, please.

I have a large room and want to use the Echo as an additional speaker.  Can it be used as a 3rd “Sonos” speaker to boost the Echo 1’s I already have?
