sonos deezer unable to browse music ?

Suddenly unable to access Deezer via Sonos. Error message says “Unable to browse music”. I’ve updated both apps, reauthorized Deezer to run in Sonos but still nothing.

    The simplest solution that came to my mind is to copy my existing account to the one I ran for testing. It wouldn't explain the cause of the problem, but it might allow me to use Deezer on Sonos without any problems.

    Then I would delete the old account and only use the new one.

    @W.H. 

    Would be the „quick and dirty“ solution. 😅

    Hey there @W.H., sorry for the late reply I was trying to understand what happened with your ticket in Costumer Care. 

    Before you transfer your content please reset the password of your Deezer account: 

    https://www.deezer.com/password/reset

    Then log out and back in your account on the Sonos app.

    I've done it a few times already, did it again today. The problem still exists for Admin profile:

    All other profiles work fine:

    So weird @W.H., I don’t see anything on your account that would justify this… 

    I have cleared the cache on your back end, can you try reconnecting again now? 

    Make sure all the apps are updated, if nothing works still we might have to copy your music to a new profile in the family account.

    @Yula  I reconnected, nothing changed .

    I have another idea what could be the reason for this behavior. I'll send a private message to @Superschlumpf  and ask him to forward it to you.

    It seems to me that the key to solving my problem is in the answer to the question of what is the difference between adding a Deezer account to S1 and to S2. Sonos says there is no difference. For me it is, because in S1 everything works fine, in S2 it doesn't.

    I took one of my Era 100 speakers to the house of a friend who has never used Sonos and doesn't have a Deezer account. I reset the speaker. I installed the Sonos S2 app on his phone. I created a new Sonos account for him, launched a new Sonos system in his house. I added an Era100 speaker to this system, then tried to add my Deezer account to his system. When I authorized myself with Deezer and chose the Admin profile to add, I was supposed to switch to the Sonos app and use that profile. The window to add an Admin profile did not appear in the Sonos app. As I selected a different profile, I added it without a problem. When I wanted to add an Admin profile again, Sonos added another free profile, not yet added to this system.

    To sum up - the problem is with any Sonos S2 system to which I am trying to add my Deezer account.

    @Yula  Can I ask you to copy the Admin profile from my account to the test account I created?

    @W.H. 

    Hey… i‘m so sorry for all the trouble you‘re having with this. Thanks a lot for testing everything, but i really think switching to the new account you have created is the best idea. I hope @Yula can help transferring the content.
