Spaces & Setups

I have some audio tracks that I made for a project I’m working on and I want to hear them on my Sonos system. I know that the tracks are fine because I can put them in “Local Files” on Spotify on my iPhone and then play them in my car. But no matter how I export the audio files, the Spotify speaker icon shows my Sonos speakers grayed out with the message “Can’t play this track”. It would be extremely helpful if it actually explained *why* it can’t play the track, but it doesn’t do that. So, what does this message mean and how can I bounce my tracks from Logic Pro so that they will play on my Sonos system? Thanks!Best,Jon

Found this today and it actually looks reasonable from Sonos’s perspective…and from the perspective of sonos needing long-term, sustainable, service revenue from us.  again, this is not my opinion  “After having played around with play.sonos.comTried it on , macos ubuntu iOS, on iPad, 17.4.1, 15.8.2 - via safari/firefox -  functional iPad 12.5.7 - via safari/firefox loads, not functional I am left with the impression that going forward; the new app has the same functionality as play.sonos.com  the app is effectively a wrapper, for the web service (API) the app is therefore limited by the lack of functionality currently available in the new web service (API) We as users are being separated from our Sonos devices currently we connect to the Sonos device directly on our local LAN - via the app, the player/device has it’s own operating system - you can also access it either via it’s own http server or as a DLNA/UPnP media device. You can access your device on port 1400 (

I'm trying to figure out a fully wireless amp and speaker solution. I sent the below to support over 3 months ago and never got a response. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction and what if any devices sonos sells that I would need to make this work. And if they don't offer what I need, what other company's devices should I look into?This is my desired set up. Unsure if it is possible.:I live in a 3 story home. I have a wired turntable with its own phono pre-amp (among other audio devices) which live on the 2nd floor of my home.Taking just the turntable as an example:- I want to be able to listen to that turntable on the 1st floor of my home.- It is not feasible for me to run physical speaker wires from the 2nd floor down to the 1st floor. I also don’t think a Bluetooth signal will pass reliably from the 2nd floor down to the 1st floor (but maybe it would?). If Bluetooth wouldn't work/be reliable, then I'd be looking specifically for a WiFi solution.- In other wor

Ive just installed a new Sonos Amp. Ive used the Sonos App on IOS to install it and all works ok. Then the app trys to register the amp on my Sonos account and I get an error saying cant connect try later. I have checked my Sonos account and logged in and updated my address and password all seems ok. Any ideas please. Thanks 

Does anyone know if S1 has also dropped the use of SMBv1 in the latest up(down)grade?Obviously we were all told that old devices couldn’t go up to SMBv2 in the old switch to the S2 system and so my Music Library dropped to SMBv1 to match. If the new upgrade has removed SMBv1 from everything, what else do the old S1 systems support that could find shared music? Not really interested in handing my details (and money) to Plex just for this functionality.

I have a sub I got second hand. I'm able to start the process of adding it to my system, but before I can add it, the app insists on updating the device. Every single attempt at updating the device has failed. I get no error codes to work with, and the device is just flashing red.So far I've tried: Updating my system as a whole Reinstalling the app Restarting the device and my router. Plugging in the sub with an ethernet cable (both before the update and mid update) Splitting my network into separate SSIDs for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Assigning a static IP to the sub I've been on the phone multiple times now with Sonos support and still have not found a solution. They've transferred me up to level 2 support but they have no openings in the next few months for a call.Has any one on here run into a similar issue?Does anyone have any other ideas for things I could try?

Apparently the executives of Sonos are frat boy so they don't understand the concept of informed consent. A horrible update was forced upon me without my consent. And now the products that I spent thousands of dollars on are no longer worth a dime. When I made a comment on this forum about that situation someone hid my comment in a much larger multi-page thread without my consent. When I made that comment they also added that comment as one of my favorites without my consent so that now I have to go in and figure out a way to take it off of my favorites so that I will stop getting emails every single time someone else posts a comment on a thread that I had nothing to do with. I posted my own. My own comment was moved so that it would get it hidden and I would still receive email after email after email every time someone else makes a comment in someone else's thread that has nothing to do with me. Informed consent is important in private life and public life and professional life.

Hi allI have two CR200 running inside an up-to-date S1 system, it works perfectly.I saw this topic here: It works. These devices are one of the reason, why Sonos split the devices into S1 and S2 devices.I have them running since 10 years, and I always did an update. I just recently had to reset my configuration, and it was a challenge to get them back into the system.When adding the CR200, I found, that one player must be connected with a LAN cable to the router directly.It does not work, if the LAN connected player is behind a bridge (what I normally have). After it is added, there still must be one player LAN connected, but then it can be behind a bridge. I guess this has to do with a network broadcast message, which does not go through a bridge. If anyone is interested in more details, feel free to answer here.

All is n the title. Thanks in advance.

We’re using the API to send playback commands to our Port, and I have noticed that the GROUP_ID is changing at random.My understanding is that the GROUP_ID is the parent which holds playback devices, unique like the HOUSEHOLD_ID.What could ever cause the GROUP_ID to change, and for what purpose, since this causes commands to obviously fail since the resource is no longer available.

went outside to listen to some music on a warm spring day. opened the S2 app and discovered it had been “upgraded”. and it demanded I “sign in” before allowing me to access my own property. After several minutes of trying to work around the thing I finally relented and went down to the basement to look up my Sonos credentials. which the app decided were invalid. This is not the first time I have suffered through one of Sonos’ completely unnecessary and unavoidable updates. So I gots to ask, why would anybody spend more for this intrusive crap than any one of the less expensive systems available?

Hello, i’m looking to buy the Japan set of the Sonos Beam. Japan uses 100v and has 50-60hz. Singapore uses 230v and 50hz. The beam specs are 100-240v, 50/60hz  will it work? also, should i buy the Singapore cable, or should i use an adaptor for the japan plug? 

All the things I used to like about the Sonos listening environment are gone.  Search for an artist, play one song now or add to end of queue.  Seems like all you can do is play an entire album from an artist and not select individual songs.  The thing I always loved about Sonos was that I could sit on my patio and queue up 20 songs and relax.  There seems to be no way to create a playlist on this new app?   I see they’re probably making the app so it relies on the playlists already built in your connected music services.  That’s fine but they better smooth out and advance this new app quickly.   Rating:  F+

I have a new Sony A95L QD-OLED and have connected my arc, sub and 2 1’s.   I use the app and I can only get Dolby multichannel PCM 2.0.   I had an older Sony and could away get Dolby 5.1 with the same set up.   What am I doing wrong? Thanks,  

Looking to understand if there are any issues etc.  Also are there any alternative wifi sub’s that are better and will work with the sonos amp and keff wired speakers? many thanksM

My Sonos app just updated which prompted my Sonos Move and Play 1 speakers to update. In the updating process, these two speakers are not connecting to my system with a “Not Registered “ message for both. I cannot reach tech help for assistance. Any guidance to correct this matter? 

Is there a EULA to cover the change in the way the New App manages and exposes our speakers to the Cloud and Internet?I have not knowingly agreed to a EULA that allows my speakers to:Be managed from the Cloud  Be accessible from the InternetTo the best of my knowledge what I have agreed to is that:My speakers will communicate with the Cloud for essential maintenance tasks like registration and updates Be accessible by me on my private WiFi.This paradigm shift in the way that our speaker and data is accessed should have been clearly communicated and agreed before the New App was installed. 

Could someone tell me the dimensions of ERA 300 box?Thanks in advance!!

The S2 update is one of the worst music control systems I have ever used! Please make the last version myself and over 200 of my Sonos clients loved and enjoyed available again!!! Thanks Please stop sucking!Thanks

How do I add new songs to my playlists?

I use my Sonos to listen to music (Spotify etc.), but I also use it as a Surround system for my TV. With the new app switching from music to TV is tiresome. Music does not switch off, I cannot find the TV sign, It only switches on one speaker, if I finally find it. It takes long to stop music/Spotify. With the old app it was much easier. Everything takes ages now. Who can give me tips?

How do I fix this?

I am sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but prior to the release of version 80 of the Sonos app I was very pleased and happy with my system as it worked very reliably and was a welcome upgrade to my previous Libra tone.However, since the release of version 80 of this app many features have disappeared but most importantly, my Sonos move 2 is often apparently offline even when it is continuing to play streamed music, and when trying many functions I often get the message an error something went wrong, but when trying a few seconds later the error goes away. An excellent system has been turned into an absolute waste of time money and space!All of my absent my systems are up to date and my internet connection is provided by Virgin Media and my whole system is managed and controlled by a comprehensive and fully managed Ubiquiti UniFi. 

Not going to re-hash the omni-shambles the recent app updates has been but we’ve been re-assured that we can keep searching Music Library on desktop controller. Well yesterday I could search my NAS stored Music Library and today Music Library as a source has disappeared. I am seeing an update Now option. Really Sonos? Why would I do that? Music Library disappearing from Desktop controller has been a long established bug but always has re-appeared if I close and re-open program on Mac. Not now. What else will break if I update controller on Mac? Also Mac updates haven’t worked for over a year meaning had to update manually by downloading updater.

Hi Sonos Team and Community,I really like the new App and just discovered the WebApp which is a really cool additional remote control option. However the “Now Playing” screen is nor working for me - not on Chrome and not on Edge (see Screenshot below). BTW: Please also add a AppleTV App which should be quite simple now leveraging the WebApp..ThanksJesko
