Exactly how deep should my Sonos be buried in the yard after the new update?

I started my local public radio station, as I do every afternoon, and my Sonos played a Sonos advertisement for 30 seconds instead. That is an unacceptable behavior, so I threw the Sonos out of the kitchen window. It is now lying in the garden, and it will not be invited back in. My question (I searched and as far as I can tell it has gone unanswered on this forum) is what is the minimum safe depth at which I will never see it again?

That AMA was an embarrassing debacle

So, if you thought anyone from Sonos would apologize for this travesty of an app update and/or explain WHY releasing the updated app now was so important it was worth doing despite the app missing numerous previously existing features, you were, like me, sorely disappointed.However, if you were looking forward to them showing up an hour late, answering maybe 6 questions in total, and doing so only in oblivious  marketing gibberish (apparently the negative feedback has "energized" the team!), then it was a real treat!Hard to believe they found additional ways to insult and ignore loyal customers who have each given them thousands of dollars over the years, but they managed it. I sure hope each of them is getting very drunk right now and questioning their life choices.

Music library access not working

So after foolishly updating (downgrading) the app to the new ‘app’ on my IOS products I lost all ability to connect to my Sonos system and music library. Thankfully it still worked from the PC and and an old iPad with the S2 app. I tried to play some of my music from this method tonight andaccess has now been denied! It’s one kick in the n**s after another from this company, seriously WTF are you doing to your customers? How do i resolve this s*** show?

New APP and New Update

Having downloaded the new update (totally messed things up) and now automatically updating the hardware, the app has lost my Sub, Arc, beam, era 300 and play ones being used as surround sounds and my move speakers. In fact since the hardware update the only thing this new app can find is my stand alone play ones. add to that the fact the new app seems to have lost all ability to recognise when the tv is playing through them and all the tv controls (night time and tv speech enhance) plus all The abilities to change surrounds , sub and height audio levels…etc and it’s all a bit of a massive c*** up. everything worked fine until these new updates. What’s going on and when will All these functions be fixed? Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

update so slow! please just bring the old back

I can’t believe with the technology out there the upgrade is worse than what it was. Skipping a song or adjusting the volume takes 30 seconds and we have a great WiFi connection. Can you please fix asap? It’s terrible

song on Sonos Radio

We heard a song last Sunday with these words in the lyrics:  “let’s grab a six and head to the lake”.  Anyone know what the name/artist of this song is?

MixCloud

I know you guys have a lot of -ish going on with the new app release and I have to tell you is has jacked up my summer music  vibe.  I frequently listen to Mix Cloud through the Sonos app.  Since the new app release music starts playing randomly.  I can click on a music choice and music will start playing from a previous selection.  It does not respond.  I also cannot see my playlists or favorites.  Is there anything I can do for the Mix Cloud app to work in the new Sonos app?  It was working great a couple of weeks ago and now it is a hot mess.  I am very frustrated and am looking for any help before I move on to other solutions away from Sonos. It would also be nice if I could arrange my services in the order in which I see fit.  For some reason, the two I use the most (Spotify and MixCloud) are at the very end.  I did select MixCloud as my preferred service but it still leaves my other most frequently used service at the end.

The new app

Just want to say that the new app is absolutely the worst app update in the history of app updates. What a joke. If the goal is to lose customers - great job! If the goal is to keep customers - bring back the old app. It worked just fine. Why ruin it???

New app killed SiriusXM connection

I just updated to your new app and it broke my connection to our SiriusXM account.  I went through the reauthorization process for the SXM account and I got a thumbs up from them saying that I could play SXM on my Sonos.  However, when I go back to the Sonos app, it says that the reauthorization has failed and I cannot play SXM on my devices anymore.  Everything was working fine yesterday, but doesn’t work today.Total crap on your App’s quality control team!! This code should never have been released.  Roll back to the old app as you can see tons of people are having problems with the new App.

queue

Hello. Before I updated my Sonos app last week, each song in my entire Apple Music library was able to be placed into my Sonos playing queue at once simply by pressing a prompt icon that selected for this option. I now seem to have lost this ability, and unless I singly manually place each of the ~7,000 songs into the queue (or create a new playlist and do the same), I cannot play my entire music library. (I shuffle my songs while I’m house cleaning .) Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance.

Good news! New app missing in "Available Updates".

I have what seems to be good news.  I'm running version 16.1 of the Sonos app and have had "App Updates" turned off on several Ipads since May 1st. I also have  "Update Automatically" in the "System Update" tab of the app turned off.  Today, I checked the App Store for updates and found a few apps to update, but the Sonos app wasn't one of them. If this continues, I can "update all" instead of selecting each app update separately.  Of course, I would spot check for Sonos first.Has anyone else experienced this, or was I just lucky today?

10,000 Track limit on Playlists

Is there a plan in the future for Sonos to increase the 10,000 track limit on playlists? In the past year or so when I have been getting on line support, they have told me that they are working on increasing that number. Has anyone else heard that desired improvement? Most people I know have more than 10,000 tracks in their playlists. Would be a nice feature if you could add specific playlists to sonos. But it seems like it is all or nothing.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE TERRIBLE APP ????????????

OK, I am sure I’m like thousands of you, absolutely useless now with all of my Sonos speakers, since this garbage app won’t allow me to do ANYTHING!!!! When will you guys update this POS?!?!?!?!?! All I get is this repetitive cycle of “sign in an owner, and update” or something along those bulls**t lines!!!! I can’t believe Sonos would roll out a app that had so many bugs, then, then you make us sit on hold for now, going on 1.2 hours (still on hold listening to your super elevator music, since that the only place i can actually hear music), after I called right when you customer service lines opened this morning, and it said current hold time was 15 minutes- just terrible customer service. So when is this going to be fixed, or am I going to have to sell all 8 speakers and go back to Bose or some other company that can actually make a realistic fix with their app to truly help support their customers!?!?!!?

Help - How to get Sonos to provide a shipping label for a product return

I purchased a refurbished Sonos One SL directly from Sonos. The new speaker arrived on 5/3, but I was not able to connect the speaker to my Sonos system. I called Sonos support the same day and worked with a technician to determine that the “infinity button” was not working and the speaker was defective and needed to be replaced. The technician was not able to generate a return request because of “system problems” but he assured me I would hear back from the “Return team” within 24-48 hours. Since then, I have contacted support twice more and both time I was told that my case had been escalated and I would hear from the “Return team” in 24-48 hours and that there was nothing else the technical support team could do to assist me.  Unfortunately, I have not received any instructions on how to return the defective speaker and have invested 5-10 hours waiting on hold, talking with support, etc. I find it strange that a premium brand like Sonos is unable to handle a routine task like proces
