Unplayable protected songs (recently purchased on iTunes, half albums...)

Yesterday I noticed that some songs I'm sure I've played before on my Sonos have become greyed out and protected. These are all recent iTunes purchases, so shouldn't be affected by the pre-2009 DRM issue. Bizarrely, one album is half protected, half not. Is it a coincidence that I installed iOS8.4 yesterday and signed up to Apple Music free trial? Any suggestions (other than paying Apple more by signing up to iMatch?).

Connecting Sonos to a record player?

Hey everyone, so I currently have 3 Play 1s and I would like to connect them to a record player that I have yet to purchase since I have no idea how to go about choosing one, I'm not techy in the least so even after I read a few discussions I still don't know how to go about it. The space I have my sound system is not too large so a Play 5 would overwhelm it and I really don't want to purchase a CONNECT either. All I want is to play my records on my Sonos is there any way to do that while avoiding the purchase of a Play 5 and CONNECT? Thanks! Your help is appreciated!!

Problems with Bluetooth receiver

Hi. I am definitely not tech savvy but hoping someone can help. I bought a Logitech Bluetooth receiver to be able play music directly through Bluetooth and not via the sonos app. I connect to the connect amp and while I could play via line in, I couldn't play directly off a music app. Can someone help? Thanks!

My Play 5 has completely stopped working. I've tried a different power lead and outlet and no luck. It's first gen but I've not had it that long, since April 2016. How do I go about getting it replaced (hopefully) or fixed? Thanks.

Play:1 - Wow!

Very new to Sonos (like one week in). I have a CONNECT to serve my existing family room/deck receiver and four Play:3's around the house. I am very impressed with the Play:3 sound. I just added my first Play:1 to my master bathroom and I'm blown away with the sound quality. Nice job Sonos. I'm now tempted to put a Play:1 in all bedrooms (have a Play:3 in the master already). Definitely putting one in the garage at some point.

Damaged sub

Just bought from b&h a new sonos sub to add to my play 1s. When delivered I noticed the sonos box to be damaged on one corner. Once unpackaged I noticed the sub also was damaged on one corner. A breif test seems like the sub is okay, but not sure if a year of booming bass may cause problems. My question is should I just ask for a new unit, or does this seem completely cosmetic and perhaps I could negotiate a discount and also circumvent the wait and exchange process.

Five SONOS devices wired to the router, I am moving and need to switch to wireless

I have five SONOS devices: 2 Play:5 , 2 Connect, 1 Amp All are currently wired. I am moving in a while and the new place does not have cabling to the new speaker locations. I want to change the wired devices to wireless on the same router. Is it as simple as removing the Ethernet cables from four devices and turning on the wireless (enter the connection information) and then removing the one Ethernet connection, and reboot the other SONOS devices and then all the devices will be wireless? Can two be wired and the rest be wireless? I look forward to your support Andy 😃

Sonos is NOT a proprietary ecosystem!

I've read several articles which have that stated that Sonos is a closed proprietary ecosystem. That's not entirely accurate. In my family room, I have two 8" KRK Rokit monitors connected to a Sonos Connect (They Rok!) In my living room I have two 5" KRK Rokit's connected to another Sonos Connect, and my TV. So using a Connect or Connect Amplifier allows you to connect to most speakers. That doesn't seem proprietary to me! I also have a Play 1 in my sun room, and a Play 1 in my bedroom, for occasional listening. They sound awesome for the price point.

Moving speakers from room to room

Hi! We are so stoked to find the Sonos under the Christmas tree! After we've done the set up, can we move a speaker from room to room? We have a Play 3 which will stay where it is, but we're wondering if we can move the Play 1's at will.

Best Way to Connect Play:5 to TV?

I have just purchased a Play:5 for my new apartment. In addition to listening to music, I would also like to connect it to the TV in our living room. What is the best method for doing this? Also, once connected to TV, will it be easy to toggle between TV Audio and normal music streaming? My roommate has also purchased a Play:3 for the apartment. Will both devices play the TV audio once the Play:5 is connected? Thanks for any and all guidance!

Need help! Added a Connect:Amp to my existing Sonos system and it doesn't play

Just added a Connect:Amp to my existing Sonos system - 2 Play1's; Play bar; Sub. System is used to provide sound for my TV and to play music from the internet. I added the Connect Amp to play sound from two in-wall wired speakers installed in my new house. They are at the back of my family room. So, I added the Connect Amp using the app and then grouped it to my existing system...NO SOUND Ideas?

Play 1 power draw?

I've been looking for (and failing to find) specs on the Play 1 power requirements, specifically in terms of wattage in a UK 240v environment. Not the amp watts, the watts in power draw terms. Does anyone have this tech info handy?

Playbase and projectors

I have a projector (Sony VPLHW45ES) and projector screen, but I also have a television. The projector screen comes down in front of the TV when I want a bigger experience (yes, I'm spoiled and I hate myself). Anyway, it would be nice to shove the Playbase under the TV for when I'm using the TV, which is what I do primarily. Does the Playbase work with projectors? Any reason that pairing wouldn't work? Do I have to use a Playbar with the projector? I saw a post in another thread about how Netflix only supports DD+, which is too much for optical to handle. Not really sure what that means for me.

This queue contains only tracks from mobile devices. These tracks cannot be saved to Sonos playlists

"This queue contains only tracks from mobile devices. These tracks cannot be saved to Sonos playlists" Sad to say we`ll probably have to return our recently bought Sonos Play 3 (wanted to upgrade it to Play 5 to get "more sound" in the livingroom, if the system was user friendly), due to not beeing allowed to create our own playlists with our own music, old or new, from our mobile devices. Irritating non-control over what goes where an how, is impossible to accept as a consumer. Also: The feeling i get is that you might get "pressured" into a situation where you HAVE to have a Premium account to get an okay experience with this system (in our case we have Tidal Basic through our cablecompany..and Basic does not work with Sonos). We want to own our music (you know, like in the olden days), not rent it for a monthly fee for a indefinite amount of time (i know that is preferred by the music industry..of course). We buy the system with the speakers, let us use it easily.. Don`t crip
