I have seen many threads on backing up your Sonos playlist.  One guy indicated why would Sonos want to provide this feature.  For one it has been asked for a million times and I would think that Sonos buyers would want to have the capability.  Only thing I can think of is that there is some interest and financial benefit to Sonos to not provide that feature.  Seems simple enough.  I am building a playlist (2000+ songs) on one Sonos device at home.  I would very much like to export that playlist and import to another Sonos device at a vacation home. 

I can’t control my Sonos system volume from my Galaxy 3 watch. Has anyone figured this out? I can control the Sonos Pause and Skip functions from my watch. I have the Sonos S2 app on my Samsung Note 9 phone. To enable Sonos control on my watch, I followed these instructions: On the phone, open Sonos App Settings > App Preferences and turn on “Show Notifications,” “Show Lock Screen Controls,” “Control From Other Devices,” and “Home Screen Volume Control.” This worked, and the music app on my watch now has a Sonos option. It shows the title of the current song playing and the Pause and Skip functions work. The volume control is changing the Media volume on my phone, which would normally work, but on my phone there is a new slider labeled Sonos in my volume control. Its icon is a little box with the wireless lines in the corner, similar to the “Cast” icon in Chrome and YouTube for casting the display to a TV. Adjusting the Media volume slider on my phone (or from the watch) doesn’t cha

In the past it was not possible in a 5.1 setup to have the TV audio be in full stereo mode, it was stuck in surround sound mode. Does the new S2 app or the ARC Soundbar allow TV audio to be in full stereo mode?

Hi all, I have had the Sonos Arc and HDFury Arcana for 6 months and absolutely love both products. I have not had a problem until recently.Now when switching inputs between Live TV and the Apple TV via HDMI, I receive the Picture, but no Audio. For example, If I turn on the TV with Live TV as the input, then switch to Apple TV. I receive Video, but no Audio. It doesn't seem to matter which input is selected on start up.I have a Samsung Q75R, ATV 4K and Sonos Arc, connected via HDFury Arcana for eArc. I have tried fully resetting and reconfiguring absolutely every component, purchased all brand new HDMI cables.The only way to restore both Audio and Video is to unplug the Arc from the Arcana for a few seconds.To stop my daily frustrations was to remove the Arcana from the equation. I contacted Sonos Support yesterday and the lovely chap thought the Apple TV was a separate TV Display and couldn't understand why I was connecting the Arc to two separate TV’s. Needless to say, we didn't get

Hi - I have got a Sonos Move and want to connect a  SONY PS-LX310BT bluethooth turntable to it. When I put both into pairing mode nothing happens. The turntable doesn't automatically connect and has no screen to make it happen.  Anyone have experience of this? Or been able to make them happen. Thanks so much!

Can Sonos be steered over Apple Watch ? 

LG has released a firmware upgrade for the B9/C9/E9 supporting multichannel PCM passthrough.  This is great except Arc doesn’t support it yet. Because of this new update, my Apple TV decides it should use LPCM instead of Dolby Digital 5.1 with Atmos enabled resulting in only 2.0 audio for non Atmos content.  The current only workaround is to disable Atmos and enable it when you want to watch an Atmos file.  Very frustrating as the previous firmware had no issue.  

Anyone have any idea if Sonos will soon support Audacy.com streaming radio stations?  My local station left radio.com for Audacy and now we cannot listen to it.  Thanks!

Is it available to purchase in the UK as I can only see it priced in USD?

With the Sonos S2 app on an iphone my Arc was detected and connected to my home network, but will not connect to my new LGOLED77GX TV. I have set the TV sound to output to HDMI Arc, and in additional settings I set the TV to audio pass through and to HDMI eArc. The Gen 3 sub is connected to the Arc, also via the wireless home network. The connection between the TV and the Arc is an HDMI 2.1 cable, plugged into the LG's eArc terminal (HDMI 2), and the other end is plugged into the Sonos Arc. I have tried simply powering off the Arc, and also a factory reset of the Arc, but each time I try to connect the Arc to the TV the Sonos 2 app says it cannot connect to the TV when I tell it the Arc is physically connected to the TV as described above. Help please 🤔.

Can Sonos add Scribd audiobooks to their services? Would love to listen to via Sonos instead of AirPlay, which does play on all 5 speakers, but drains my phone's battery. I listen to Audible all the time on Sonos & am grateful for that link-up. Now, Scribd would be amazing. Thanks!

Seems that there is no way to use the alarm on files on my hard drive, or a way to upload my files to Amazon or Apple Music.Let me know what I am missing.

Is there any chance that the Saxo app could be compatible with the Sonos player? We listen to books through that app.BW Heidi

Hi All! I am a bit confused and can’t find a clear answer. Can I use a Sono Port to connect my Marantz receiver and use Sonos speaks as satellites in a 5.1 set up. So, if I’m watching a movie, the Marantz handles my bowers and wilkins left, right, and center speakers but it’s synced with the Sonos speakers via the sonos port? will that work? 

Hi, I have 2 seperate 5.1 systems in my home currently.  I have arc, sub, amp and 2 non sonos in-wall speakers in living room and I have playbar, sub, and 2 sonos one’s in my bedroom.  What I need help with from the community is:  Can I have the exact setup listed above but change out the 2 sonos ones in my bedroom for 2 more inwall non sonos speakers and continue running 2 seperate 5.1 setups.  I know the amp can run up to 4 speakers but I am not sure if you can continue running 2 seperate 5.1 setups off of one single amp.  Hope this all made since.  Thanks for the knowledge if you know the answer.

Hi all, recently moved into a house with the NUVO Concerto system and looking to update the source systems (currently runs off a computer CPU with music folders...). I just want to know if I can plug in a Sonos Port into the basic RCA source inputs or if this particular amp will be to out of date. Ideally I can control music and volume from the Sonos app rather than the NUVO control panels on the wall in each room for the in-ceiling speakers. Hoping I don’t need to update the multi-zone amp.

Hello, May, last month, you informed us that there would be no more update for the old equipment on sonos1.I could live with that because everything was functional at home.And now you are pushing a final update that prevents most of the adjustments on my system.I can’t even change the sonosnet channel. I have computers, android phone on version 7, tablet on version 7, android boxes on version 7.You said the truth, there will be no more update, only a downgrade.What’s the reason behind all this?

Does the Sonos system honour the ‘Album Artist’ tag? I suspect not, but why not? Or is there  way round it…..Everything works - I can see my library, I can play music, I can play radio stations etc etc. Just cannot fathom how to get the darned set up to honour the ‘Album Artist’ tag. All other tools/systems I have do honour the tag (J River, Logitec media server, plex etc).Any info/advice gratefully recieved.

Hi.  Thinking of buying an Arc. With the 15% upgrade the total cost is 7649 NOK. Is this included all costs, or will there be any customs fee?  Regards Pål

Is is possible (if so, how) to use my gen 1 Play 5 on Sonos 2 thru Sonos Connect (not amp), just as one would use a regular speaker?

Hello,Does anyone have any insight on the possibility of connecting 2 Sonos connect to 1 receiver?  I want to be able to control the volume in different areas while steaming the same music.   Just trying to save some $$$.   I realize the alternative is to buy the new Sonos amp or another receiver but trying to make use of the connects I have.   Thank you for your time.  

I currently have 4 Sonos connects (2 connects, 2 connect amps), running S1 software as they are older.  Found a used Connect amp that I would buy for another room, but it seems to be running S2 software. Can I downgrade it to S1? Basically want to control all units using the S1 app sort of thing.  But can’t seem to figure out if that’s doable, I know I can’t do the opposite.

Morning all. Hoping I can get some direction on this one please. Got lots of Sonos, all S2 and all amplified to decent in-ceiling speakers. Works a treat, always has.But I’m adding a new room. Essentially a home cinema room with the normal speakers, SW, large TV, AVR etc. I’ve plugged in a new Port via RCA to the SAT I/P.It works but sounds a bit meh.I’m not trying get any cinema type functionality, just good sound, stereo, surround, anything really.Is there a rule of thumb or best practice for settings an AVR to get a decent sound out? It just doesn’t sound great.The AVR itself is old but a solid performer …. A Pioneer VSA-AX10Ai feeding B&W Matrix fronts & rears and a B&W ASW800 sub.  

Hey all ---I subscribe to MLB Gameday Audio. I’ve poked around on the support pages, but every reference I’ve found to listening to MLB on Sonos seems to be at least a year old. Have there been any updates? Can we listen to MLB on our Sonos players?Thanks!

Hi everyone.I have recently started to replace my old Denon amp and floor standing speakers with Sonos. Bought 2 Sonos Fives and configured them as stereo pair and it has been working well, better than the floor standing speakers. My intention is to retire these speakers and only use Fives. Next I wanted to connect my Sony tv to Sonos and also use existing non Sonos sub (Ken Kreisel) so I bought Sonos Amp to connect the sub and TV through HDMI. However I realised during the set up that I can’t add Sonos speakers as front stereo. I understand Amp is supposed to help with the traditional speaker set up but it wasn’t obvious anywhere I won’t be able to add the Fives as a front pair or even to the same room. The latter could have solved some part of the issue I am facing.  As a workaround I have done the following: TV is connected to Amp through HDMI. Amp is configured to connect to floor standing speakers but I have left them disconnected. TV headphone out is connected to line in of the F
