+21Are the songs cutting off near the end (i.e. with 10 seconds or less remaining) or just randomly in the middle? Are you playing the songs directly from your iPhone, or are you just using your iPhone as a controller, and the songs are playing from your computer? Do you have a good wireless signal to your iPhone?
Hi Mike, thanks for getting back to me. They stop just over the half way mark usually, so with a minute or two left till the end. I am playing directly from the music on my my iPhone and there is a good wireless signal.
+21Ok... the next step would probably be to submit a diagnostic report to Sonos, then reply here with the confirmation number. This will give Sonos a bunch of information about your system, which they can use to hopefully determine the cause of this skipping. For more info on submitting a diagnostic report, see this support article: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/142
Hello Mike, If you can please follow MikeV's instructions and submit a diagnostic of your SONOS System. Please respond with the confirmation number for the diagnostic. Answer Title: Submit System Diagnostics Answer Link: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/142 Are you getting the same playback issues over SONOS with other sources? So if you use the Music Library or the Music Services do you experience the same playback issues? One test would be to connect the iDevice to an available line in connector in SONOS. Run a cable from the iDevice to a SONOS Component, and under the sources in SONOS choose Line In. See if the audio playback is any better when it is hardwired.

Hello - We are having the same issue with our Sonos. Songs randomly end and skip to the next song. It's anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes into the song.
Hello Scott, I would use the instructions to run the diagnostic as requested of the other customer please, and respond with the confirmation number for the diagnostic. Also try the second test please and let me know how the iDevice using the line in and not the iDevices Wi-Fi connection.
I'm having the same issue. (Sonos only plays a portion of the song... about a minute, sometimes less, sometimes more... then skips to the next song.) Will someone from Customer Service respond if I submit a diagnostic report?
I have this happen all the time. I am using a NAS device for my music. I powered everything off and restarted but same condition. My diagnostic # is 3181196
Same problem here on brand new Sonos. DIagnostic number: 3181765 - Good wifi signal. - Happens to both internet radio and music on iPhone. - Play5 + Bridge Can you someone please let me know what to do? Thanks! ilan PS I was going to test changing the wireless channels as instructed in another help thread, but don't see the option where it should be on the iPhone controller: Music >> Settings >> Advanced Settings >> ???? (Wireless channel)
Same exact issue here. Brand new Playbar - usually hear about 10-90 seconds of a song before it either stops playing or skips to the next track (sometimes in the middle of the next track). Diagnostic number: 3181873
Hey, I'm having exactly the same problem whether playing from my NAS drive or from my iPhone. It's really spoiling my enjoyment of music and is very annoying. I have previously sent error reports and rebooted my whole system but it's still happening. Please help.

I'm having a similar problem when I use my Android phone as a controller to play music from my iTunes library, which resides on my PC laptop. Song plays for about 30 seconds, then I get an error message, "Unable to play -- the track is not encoded correctly." Doesn't play anything after that. Diagnostic: 3196602. Thanks for your help!

I'm having all the same issues and errors using my new SONOS system (Play 5). My diagnostic test is 3199027. Please help. Thank you.
Same here, (2x play5 in stereo-mode) and 1x play3. Songs are cutted of randomly when I play them from Spotify, NAS or iDevice...and go the next in the playlist. Doesn't happen all the time, but too often to get very annoying and frustrating.... Have restarted all my devices including router and modem a few times and today's update of the controller didn't bring a solution either... Diagnose number: 3199527
