Have a chat with other Sonos owners. What's going on in the world of music and technology? What's playing?

Back in February I posted here and committed to being more present and more transparent about where we're headed. Time for an update.We’ve been working through a long list of improvements, and we're now in the final stretch of getting them ready. I know it’s been a decent interval of quiet on my end. Thanks for your patience. We've been reading the posts.What I wanted from this work was simple: a series of enhancements that make Sonos easier to learn and easier to use. The team has spent hundreds of hours over the past year watching real customers use the Sonos app, longtime owners and brand new ones alike. We've learned a lot about what hangs people up, what's confusing when you're new to the system, and what slows you down when you're just trying to change the darn volume.What kept showing up was this: a lot of friction came from proprietary patterns we built that made the app harder to learn and use than it needed to be. Stacks on stacks on stacks of content cards. Swipe-up gestures
Hey everyone! 👋🏼Today Sonos announced a partnership with Škoda, one of Europe's most respected automakers, as the audio partner for their upcoming flagship electric vehicle, the PEAQ. Our team architected the in-cabin listening experience from the ground up: how music, voice and entertainment sound and move throughout the cabin. It's the most advanced in-cabin system we've built in automotive to date and we’re proud of what came together.Let me give you context on why this makes sense. 🔍Sonos was built around one idea, that sound should move effortlessly through the home. Everything we make is designed to show up across rooms, across the moments that fill your day, in a way that feels natural rather than something you have to think about. But listening doesn't stop at the front door. For a lot of people, especially in EVs where cabin noise is so low, the car has become one of the most intentional listening environments in their day. Taking what we've built around the home system an
Has anyone ever successfully requested reward redemption for those that are a part of the C Space Survey research? I put in a request about a month ago and despite repeated messages sent to moderators have not had any reply. There was also a survey from a couple weeks ago that was supposed to end with a gift card by the end of 8/14 and now that has come and go without a peep. There is one entry in these boards where it’s assured the whole C Space process is legitimately from Sonos, but now with this lapse in reward redemption I’ve wondering if it is. Anyone? Thanks.
Why do Spotify playlists in the Sonos app not reflect the edits made to Spotify playlists in the Spotify app?
Album Art Display shows the current trackAlbum Art Display shows the album art from the currently playing track on your Sonos music system. It runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ (or more current version) with an attached 7-inch DSI touchscreen. The album art fills the left square of the screen, with the song, album, and artist shown on the right. The display's backlight turns fully off when nothing is playing and wakes automatically when music starts.Touch the screen at any time to bring up on-screen transport controls (previous track, pause/resume, next track, and a sliding volume control) which fade away a few seconds after your last touch. If the Pi cannot automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network at startup, it broadcasts its own temporary Wi-Fi hotspot so you can connect it to the Wi-Fi network from your phone. A small built-in web page also lets you switch which Sonos zone is shown from any device on your network.I open-sourced this project. The code and complete DIY instructions a
Time for Sonos to upgrade their environment so their platform can be controlled by LLMs - need a full MCP server that can be called by LLM Agents
HiWhen working on groups in the settings:When entering a group to see what's speakers in that group -> no change done -> going back (arrow) or cancel (X): Message for "do you want to" appears. If going through several groups this message box is disturbing.The message box/question is of course important if do a change and use arrow/X, but when No change is done it should not appear.Amund
Educate me.. I’m not a tech guy.. are there two different types of updates for Sonos.. app and software.. or are they the same? What updates make the speaker lights flicker ? Tia
I guess I’m having the same issue as many with the tracks “ not encoded correctly “ . After reading a few of the older post, am I understanding that the fix is to delete the music library and start over by re listing the tracks again ? Strange how it will play the first track in the list but no others..just goes back to the first track repeatedly.
Weak base after setup
Why is it that any question I ask as a new topic has to be reviewed by a moderator? Wasn’t like that before.
My favorite way to listen to music in the Spotify app is the artist page, where it shows all of my liked songs from that particular artist. I do not see a way to do this in the Spotify integration in the Sonos app.For example, I want to go to a page that has all the Luke Combs songs I have liked in Spotify.
My room is not symmetric enough to obtain great results using TruePlay. The system is Arc-Sub3-ERA 300s. The problem is the room is open on the right side so no reflections off the wall on that side. This makes it sound as if the right surround speaker is lower in gain. It would be nice to be able to boost the gain just a bit on the right surround 300. I know if you run TruePlay you loose the option to set distances. Not sure changing the distance of the right surround would work to increase gain. I believe that’s more of a timing adjustment.
Would it be possible to add the option to turn ON/OFF Shuffle-Repeat-Crossfade to the IOS Shortcuts Sonos interface?
Hello Sonos Support Team,I'm writing to share some feedback regarding my Sonos Era 100 speaker, which I've been enjoying overall, but I'd like to suggest a few improvements that I believe would enhance the listening experience for many users.1. Next/Previous Navigation for Radio FavoritesCurrently, the physical "< >" (skip forward/back) buttons on the Era 100 do not support navigating between favorited radio stations or stations within a Sonos Radio collection. I would love to see this functionality added, so that pressing these buttons while listening to a radio station would move to the next or previous station saved in my Favorites (or within a specific Sonos Radio collection), rather than being limited to track skipping within music playlists/queues only. This would make it much easier to quickly browse through preferred radio stations without needing to pull out a phone and navigate the app.2. One-Tap Playback for Radio Stations, Playlists, and SongsAt the moment, starting p
I want to start by making it clear that I am not a Sonos newby. I have had the system get several years probably too many to mention. I have like a lot of users put up with the shall we say quirks of the system for years. My frustration has known no bounds. What brings me to type today? That old frustration!!! After years fighting with sky I have today changed to EE full fibre supposedly lightning fast. I spent about 50 minutes moving 5 of my devices to the new network then came a problem. The app froze and I had to close everything down. I rebooted and could only find one device, silly thing is it’s the one that gets used the least. Eventually I found a second and that’s where the story ends. Despite lot’s of resets reboots etc I can’t find the rest reboots galore!!!! I will have to try when I calm down. SONOS TAKE NOTE!!! Sort it out so that a change of network is not a nightmare!!!!!!
HiI'm one of those who is tired at the morning. Like verry, verry tired and a large bit more tired 😅One of few things that help is to be forced to go out of bed to stop the alarm. So for those like me it would be verry nice with a setting that the alarm only can be stopped by pushing button on the physical device (speaker).I guess it would be good if it's possible to stop the alarm somehow in the app in case forget to turn it off before go to bathroom etc. But then somewhere "hard to find" in the app, not something doable in half sleep.Thank you again in advanceAmund
A note to people with mixed S1 & S2 systems. Do what I did an move over to Lyrion as control and carry on using your S1 and S2 kit. Requires running Lyrion (LMS) on your NAS or separate device pc or Raspberry Pi. The advantage is being able to run a mixed environment. I have Primare Prisma, Raspberry Pi based Picore and several Sonos devices operating under one control system. Takes a bit of tweaking but avoids getting rid of S1 kit, plus keeps you from running insecure network protocols for the S1. Just treat it as a Upnp render end point.
You need to simplify your upgrade program...It makes no sense and is annoying.
It was an absolute nightmare trying to tap that tiny circle and drag it across the volume bar. Taps wouldn’t register, the button was unreasonably small, and overall the volume slider has been a point of contention for users for a long time. Now that it’s updated so you can tap and drag from anywhere on the volume bar I’m so happy I had to log in here and just say THANK YOU! Amazing what a small change can do to dramatically improve the user experience.
@Tom Conrad This is feedback, not good or bad, right or wrong; just my opinion. First I’ll date myself, was excited to think about replacing some of my oldest speakers, Play 1’s or One SLsSpent about 20-30 minutes trying to get the discount the work. Never thought based on the EMAIL received that the T&C’s would limit the devices when my only upgrade path was to go to ERA 100’s. T&Cs should be for things like timing. If you are going to limit eligible speakers then mention that. Sonos wasted my time I can’t even get the 15% right now. Be transparent in your sales please. You've got a 30% off credit Ready to upgrade your setup? Now's your chance. For a limited time, your 15% off credit is now worth double. Your discount will apply automatically at checkout.
The search results returned within the Android app should behave as they do in the desktop app and return ‘Album Artist’ within the Artists results for compilations...Any compilation albums have the ‘Album Artist’ value effectivly excluded from Artist search results in the App. This is new behaviour for the app since the ‘May 2024’ release. Prior to this behaviour was correct. It remains correct in the Desktop app.Details: On searching for ‘Various’/’Various Artists’ the Windows desktop application it, correctly, does what it always has done and returns ‘Varions Artists’ in the ‘Artists’ search results: However, when the same search is performed from the Android app there are no results under ‘Artists’: All other results (Albums/Songs/Composers ect.) are consistent & correct across both Android and Winsows apps.Albums are correctly tagged:Capitalisation, varying index grouping between album artist/compilation/both options or removing the ‘Compilation’ tag has no impact on the beha
Hello, hopefully someone at SONOS sees this. As it’s impossible to use the iphone physical buttons for volume control (I can understand the problem with this) Sonos are recommending e.g. using the physical buttons on ROAM. However these sound effects are very off putting.Please can you offer the option to disable sound effects on this?Thank you
I would like to make a feature request:When an attempt to add an album or track(s) to a Sonos Playlist that already contains that content give a warning as such. Give the option to add again or not add.
