Techno Abuse

This sorry saga has all the hallmarks of an 'abusive relationship' including gaslighting, coersive control, mistruths and neglect.   It has to rank pretty high in the list of worst commercial practices ever.  NETFLIX will probably in time make a 6 part documentary out of this. 😁.Meanwhile, stay courageous as Sonos would want you to be 😁

Play5: Gen2 Stereo Pair, does it require SonosNet?

Afternoon!  I’ve got a Play5 Gen2 with a bunk Wi-Fi chip. Works great over ethernet or if I have a WiFi mesh node within 1ft of it. Currently, it’s running over Wi-Fi with a mesh node next to it. As far as the Sonos ecosystem is concerned it’s on Wi-Fi and working fine.  I was considering adding a second as a stereo pair, but my concern is that the pairing will require Sonos Net which means it likely won’t work with the bad Wi-Fi card. Will the stereo pair work strictly over my home Wi-Fi? Or does a stereo pair of Play5 Gen2 do the stereo pairing via Sonos Net?

Sonos APP - first impressions

Despite my best efforts, the Sonos App has updated (WTF!). It's pretty awful.... Lots of missing or half-arsed features (eg. Playlists - you can only play from track 1 on to end - no way to reorder). It's sluggish with creaky sliding/Pop-up panels.   Aesthetically, it's gaudily awful with a mix of hard and overblown round edges. It's 'horrible. The sliding tiles induce a feeling of nausea after a while. Horizontal lists are edged with a strange mist-like effect - quite bizarre!Compared to other modern app interfaces, such as BLUOS, Roon, etc it has a long way to go. What a relief to return to the pure Material interface (a sort of modern Bauhaus of app design) of LMS.

Latest update = dreadful mess

How dare you call this an update.  Don’t you people ever check anything before you roll it out.Most of my playlists have disappeared. Navigating is 100% more difficult.I want my old version back otherwise ALL my costly Sonos gear is going straight in the small electrical recycling bin at the local tip - because that’s pretty much all it is worth now.You treat customers with contempt.

Sonos OSX App (13.1) does not play "next" on any service

When I pick an album (Amazon music that I own), one of my Albums (linked to iTunes library), Spotify, or even Spotify’s “Made for Me” Daily Mix lists … Sonos only plays the first item over and over, never going to next. This is even though I pick “Play Now”.   has been going on for a few weeks (or longer?).  The only reliable music source I now have is Tune-in to a radio station, sadly.

Android widget – suggested changes to hotspot areas

My main gripe is that 90% of the time I go to tap on the speaker icon to change the volume, the app opens unintentionally because the speaker is too small.So, I suggest to change the hotspot area so that anywhere in the green area will open the quick access volume control. Maybe this could also be extended so that only the blue area opens the app, pink are back/stop/ffwd and yellow is room selection. Tapping in the area outside any of these will just be a dead zone.Please see my crude illustration…

Hi there, I want to purchase Five and the 2 Room Set with Arc. However, I’m unsure of what are the minimum TV specs required for them to work smoothly? Could anyone help me please? That will determine if I can purchase them now or wait until I buy a new TV :)Thanks!

sonos move e roam

“Se lasciati (move e roam) sulla base in carica, resta sempre acceso(come la one)? Oppure è necessario pigiare il tasto di accensione ogni volta prima dell’utilizzo?”

Amplifier for Connect

Hi All - I am wondering what amplifier people use for Sonos Connect products. I have been using Audiosource amps with Behringer EQs for in-wall JBL speakers. The system sounds OK but it’s a lot of components, IMO. I’m curiuos what others have been doing.Also, I am getting a hiss in one of my systems that I have to troubleshoot and that’s adding to my interest in a more robust, reliable set up. Looking forward to hearing backDave

Spotify FAMILY accounts conflict

I have a family account.  The primary family account is logged into the sonos.  Account 1.When any of the other family accounts (account 2) start to play music on their own device the sonos cuts out.Originally I thought it was because both family accounts were added to the sonos, but I've now ensured the sonos only has 1 and the other account is on a device. Surely it's possible to use sonos with a family account without everyone else with family accounts being blocked?

Magnavox Radio Sonos Integration

My brother has an old Magnavox Grand Classic. I’m curious if there is a clever way to integrate this into the Sonos ecosystem. All I can come up with is tearing everything out of the inside and replacing with a One or maybe a Symfonisk. Is there a better way to integrate with more of the existing hardware?

System for Wine Bar

I have a small wine shop. We have indoor retail space (1100 sq ft), an outdoor deck in the front 18x30 ft, and a small bench outdoors on the side. I want to stream background music in the 3 zones and manage volume separately. I currently stream Pandora for Business. Will 2 pair of outdoor speakers and the Amp work? How would I connect iPad/iPhone to stream Pandora? Bluetooth, cable? Or would I need another device?
