Music library gone from new app, where is it?

Maybe I’m an outlier, but as a Sonos customer since the days of the ZonePlayers and CR100 controllers, I have a huge music library on a Synology NAS that I use primarily; I am not a big user of these “services” that the new app seems to put an emphasis on. After foolishly updating my app last night I was able, after much time and effort, to find my music library and play a couple tunes as a test. Ok, it worked. None of my carefully curated album art displayed and so I figured tonight I’d be posting a message asking if anyone knew why that was. Instead, tonight in my app I find that my music library is gone, gone, gone. Can somebody please explain how to get it back? The gear icon for settings is strangely devoid of much in the way of settings, including anything regarding the music library. It doesn’t seem to be a “service” but still, I looked through several pages there until giving up. I have the Windows-based app and it still shows the music library path properly configured so I am

Alarm function in app update 9th of May 2024

Sonos have neglected to include an alarm function in the app update as of 9th May 2024. very disappointed. Also a number of music services have been affected. I am sure this is an oversight - but with no communication from Sonos or announcement, it does not build confidence. Also - to cut off older systems and speakers is terribly bad form. Hopefully the Sonos event on the 14th will have everything resolved? Can we get some reassurance from Sonos customer service please?

Latest Sonos App - Do not Upgrade

Just upgraded to the latest, new and improved Sonos app on my mobile phone (iPhone) and it has led to my losing my complete music library which is on a NAS.After some discussions with support, they confirmed that this option is not available - only the commercial streaming services (and it does recognise Plex) are visible and accessible but no proprietary My Music Library.Allegedly this will be rolled out in a future iteration, but no timeframe provided.Beware if you are considering upgrading

revert to previous app

Hi, new sonos app was just installed on my android. It is a mess, half of the services won't work, can't find the other half. Design is chaotic. Had my favourite radio stations on top, now they are mixed and hidden somewhere. How do i revert to the old version?

sleep timer missing on new app

Why have Sonos removed the sleep timer function in the new App . This makes my speaker useless to me.    Waiting for a response from Sonos but if nothing forthcoming I will have to ditch it and change brands as I use it all the time.  if you’re having the same issues please email Sonos as well, the more that do should hopefully make them take some action !!

Sorting order Favorites

Re the new app:Could Sonos change the sort order of my Favorites back to the alphabetical order? See the enclosed screen shot. And while you're at it, could you please add the right names of the radio stations? For example: 24/7 Americana is a MyTuner Radio station, not a Live Station (Station en direct in French).Or maybe I should report this as being a bug in the new app?I'd like a reaction from a member of the Sonos Staff on this.

prob with new app

I have been having connection problem with my system so waited for new app. Now when it says I need a software update, I’m asked to log out and owner to login. I press start update and I see a flash of the login page then screen returns to ask for sign in: system owner. How do I break this cycle? Despite deleting app and reloading it continues to loop. If I log in thru  web page I see my devices. Any assistance would be appreciated.

sonos Port NOT linking to my account

Hi. When setting up a new Sonos Port to an existing system it doesn’t want to link to my account. Have tried the Fix It option a number of times but it still fails at the point where the app attempts to link up to my account. Any ideas how to fix this please. Thanks

Calm Radio another victim of this week's update disaster?

Calm Radio stations don't appear in the wake of the app update disaster. The service is still there, but it does  nothing. Yet the Sonos status page lists it as working. That's three of my favourite services gone today--Calm Radio, CBC and Amazon Music. Great work, Sonos!

New SONOS iOS app (May 2024) is TOTAL RUBBISH!!

The New Sonos iOS app is absolutely terrible. If you haven’t upgraded yet please please don’t. There are so many missing features and bugs to boot. It looks like an pre-Alpha version of software rushed to market without being properly tested or checked.PLEASE PLEASE  PLEASE Sonos bring back the S2 app for download on the App Store. If I could downgrade I would do it in a heartbeat. I’m a long time user and fan of Sonos products but frankly this is a big miss a disaster. This new app is almost unusable. This is Sonos’s Windows Vista moment. Please listen to your users Sonos, negative feedback is everywhere now. Please give us back the S2 app whilst this one goes back to the drawing board or perhaps the trash can.

new sonos app released 7th May 2024 issues

 Apart from the listed problems with music libraries, sleep,alarm, wifi channel options missing and Rova issues, I’ve noticed another, forgetting Sonos systems.This is when i leave my home system and go to work which we have Sonos, when i opened my app with the old app, this would seamlessly connect to the work system, then when i get home seamlessly connect to my home system and so on. Now the new app requires me to ‘join new system’ every time i go to work and come home. It doesn’t remember or seamlessly change between the 2 systems. I also tried this when going to my parents home and brothers who have Sonos. I am on their local networks and the same issue. I have to join their system, then i get home and have to join my system. Too many bugs on the new app, and Sonos should allow us to download the old app until they sort out all the problems. Im sure once the bugs are ironed out, this new app will be a better experience. I have noticed when it is working, it is quicker on connectio

Cant get passed update screen

I am trying to set up my new Sonos (Roam and move 2) I’ve created my account, connected my speakers and now it’s telling me there is an update available and I must login as the owner. I am logged in as the owner both in my app and website. When I click continue it just keeps going back and telling me to login as the owner. I can’t get passed this screen. I’ve tried logging in and logging out and deleting and reinstalling the app. I have the lastest versions as well. Please tell me how to fix this.

New interface / app is non-intuitive

Sonos, your new app is not at all intuitive and feels like a marketing committee’s attempt to smash all of the relevant things into whatever THEY felt was “cool” Do you have a way to roll back the UI to the old version?  I play certain playlists every night and one of them is a playlist I put on for my boys, every night.  The Sonos Playlist is now two layers deep, and not even listed alphabetically.Seriously.  What is wrong with you people?! You’ve taken it upon yourselves to make the app completely dysfunctional from a UX perspective. What a mess.

New Sonos app, existing system. Added Amp to system, fails at registration, after successfully entering PIN and pressing the sync button. WTH… usually Sonos products are rock solid.

New Search and Music Library

I note from the post announcing the New Search that local music library was not included.  I’m puzzled by this as I can’t be the only person who has hundreds of albums in their local library.  I have two questions:Why was the local library excluded from the local search? Do you have plans to retrofit it into the New Search, and if so when will this happen?

New App - music mix

Good day, I so wish I hadn't installed the new app. I am unable to play my artist music mix having installed the new app on my android phone. Fortunately I haven't installed it on my iPad so I can still play artist music mix from there. My subscription service is Deezer. Has anyone else had this issue? Any solution would be most welcome. Thank you

App new Update- Cannot find balance under EQ

I have a speaker pair on which I previously could adjust left and right balance.  With the the new app update I cannot adjust left and right balance !!! So my speakers are stuck with the balance towards the right speaker which I use when I work at my desk.  Please tell me how to adjust balance with app new update or explain how to go back to previous version. This is not acceptable.The whole update is clunky and hard to use.  Also it seems the app is pushing you to use Sonos music services.  And it feels like you are bing pushed to use Voice App.I have spent $$$ on speakers to listen to my music.  The app should let me do that easily and seamlessly.
