Starting this week, my Sonos Beam 2.0 speaker will no longer connect to my iTunes library. These are local files, I don’t have an Apple Music subscription any longer. I don’t want to pay for it when I have a large iTunes library of local files. My Sonos Beam 2.0 has been working fine for the past year, and literally mid-song, it disconnected and Sonos told me a firewall had gone up. I checked it, but I’m allowing all incoming connections from Sonos, so this shouldn’t be an issue.
Every time I try to connect Apple Music as a service on the Sonos app or on my MacBook, it tells me I need to re-authorize Apple Music. I do this, and then it tells me that I need to do it AGAIN even though I just did it. Now, on the Sonos app on my MacBook when I select Apple Music, it tells me that I need to renew my Apple Music subscription. But I just want to be able to play my local files.
At one point, I had my iTunes library uploaded to Sonos, but it erased it from the app. Then I was using the Apple Music app as a connected service to play music through Sonos. But now, I can’t do either.
Did anyone else have this problem, and what did you do to fix it?
