You can listen to preview clips of songs from your dashboard and within the artist/song search results. If you see a triangle with an exclamation point where the play button should be, that means there’s a missing preview clip of that song. It is rare, but please let us know if you do encounter this error.

Your player is programmed and setup with an off/on schedule. The typical schedule automatically turns on at 6:00AM and off at 12:00AM. If you would like any adjustments made to your player’s schedule, please contact us: support@CustomChannels.net.

Account is your business. You might have one or more locations under your account.

Channel is the Custom Channels music stream playing at your account. Whether you’re using our All Access, ReMix or Ethos service, your channel is what’s being streamed to your locations.

Playlists are part of ReMix. Your ReMix channel streams a playlist you’ve created.

Click “Manage Players” in the side menu under Settings, then click the blue “Manage Player” button. You’ll see a list of the channels currently on your player in the middle of the page. Click the “Add Channels” button. Any available channels not currently on your player are listed here. To add a channel, click on the checkbox next to the name of the channel, then click the “Add Channels” button. To remove a channel, click the “x” on the right side of the channel name. Your player will not be updated until the player has been shut off and turned back on.

All Access channels are professionally programmed by our music experts and continuously updated – no loops or static song lists. We used sophisticated software to create a fresh sequence of songs every day with many safeguards to reduce repetition and increase variety.

After a lot of trial and error, we found that a limit of three styles offers the best blend and flexibility. You can also make a playlist with only one or two styles.

From our All Access family of music channels. All Access is a collection of ready-to-go channels available for your business right now. It’s hands-off listening. ReMix is hands-on allowing you to customize the All Access styles.

You can remove a song from either the “Recently Played” list, or from the “Search+Discover” list. Simply check the box of the playlist you want the song removed from. In addition, you can remove songs directly from a Song Select playlist page. Songs can be removed from one playlist and not affect another playlist.

Use “Search+Discover” in the upper left to find songs or artists. Then simply check the box of the playlist you want the song added to. Songs can be added to one playlist and not affect another playlist.

Before another Playlist you create can actually play, it needs to be scheduled. You’ll see “Schedule Playlists” at the top right that takes you to a 7-day calendar. Simply click and drag on the calendar for the day you which to schedule the playlist. This will reveal a scheduling window for you to pick the time and days for this playlist.

ReMix will always play your Primary Playlist if no other playlist is scheduled. Playlist schedules are created for one day at a time. You’ll need to schedule your playlist separately for each day. To remove an existing playlist from the schedule, click on it and delete.

If you want a playlist to go past midnight, schedule the playlist to 11:55pm, then create another schedule for the same playlist the next day starting at 12:00AM. Don’t worry, music will play continuously without stopping. Don’t see the schedule calendar? You need to create a second playlist first.

With Style Select, we’ve created a formula to give you the best mix based on the percentages you selected. To lower repetition, once a song is played it rests for hours before it can play again. We also keep songs by the same artist from playing close to each other.

With Song Select, all the songs you’ve handpicked are shuffled into a random order and played. When every song is played once, the list is again shuffled randomly and all songs play so it’s never in the same order.

We believe in not repeating the same songs and artists too often. So after researching, we landed on 40 as a minimum number of songs needed to make a playlist sound good. We’d recommend you try for more, at least a hundred, and there’s no limit to the number of songs you can add.

Due to music licensing rules, we are unable to add an unlimited number of songs by the same artist to one playlist.

Your Sonos system may only be checking in with our servers using a single serial number. This is normal behavior. If you see a serial number listed in your “Manage Players” tab that is not listed under “About My Sonos System”, please contact us at: support@CustomChannels.net.

Sonos devices cache up to three songs in order to provide uninterrupted playback. “Recently Played” may be one to three songs ahead of what you are currently hearing at your business.

We allow for a certain number of Sonos devices to be connected. The number is based on the locations and zones with your subscription. If you see this message, please contact us at: support@CustomChannels.net.
