New SONOS app: many features no longer available!

Think twice before you install the new SONOS app as at least the following features are no longer available (temporarily or permanently):Sleeptimer has disappeared completely. Either you sleep the entire night with music on or you wake up to switch off the music… Quite defeats the purpose. Alarms: creating and editing an alarm is no longer possible. You can only toggle an existing alarm on and off. Local music library: make sure you don’t remove it as it is no longer possible to add a local music library stored on a NAS or shared device. Also the search doesn’t work on the local library any longer; it only searches the online music services. Sonos seems to have finally let down its initial user population that made Sonos big before music streaming services existed…Either this is a deliberate choice by Sonos to reduce the functionality or someone validated a pre-beta release for production to meet some preset deadlines… In any case, don’t upgrade if you need these features.

New Sonos app removes key features - beware!

Having just upgraded to the new app, I’m utterly amazed at how poor it is from a user perspective.There is no longer a volume number indication You cannot edit queues You cannot add single songs to a queue as ‘play next’ or ‘add to end’ You cannot create or edit any alarmsHow did this get through any UAT? These are basic features every Sonos user has enjoyed for years.Absolutely ridiculous, please add this functionality back ASAP.

Era 300 case vibrating

Hey everybody, I purchased the Era 300 a few days ago and I absolutely love it, except for one thing that is driving me nuts: I listen to bass heavy music and it seems the case is vibrating quite often when I’m playing music. This is one of my most hated things as it just ruins the sound, even though I found the sound from the Era 300 to be excellent. This one thing is ruining the speaker for me and I want to know if this is common with this speaker, or if something in the build quality might be off and I need a replacement. I have it sitting on a turntable stand if that helps at all. If I put my hand on top of the speaker, the vibrating stops so I know the speakers themselves are fine. Anybody have any solutions? I appreciate the help!

Notification on Android for Song Changing & Pausing

In Sonos Android versions prior to v80, the app would have a service running in the background and a notification in the notification bar at all times that allowed for seamless switching & pausing of songs and also allowed for volumes changes on the fly, eliminating the need to go into the app and change it. After v80, it's been taken away, and the background service is also gone, forcing the app to reboot if the phone ever closes it for RAM optimization, which makes the user wait a long time for the app to start and connect to the system. My biggest gripe with the notification being gone, above all, is the fact that without it, I can't scrobble using Pano Scrobbler, as it requires an active notification. Can we get the controller notification & service back soon, please? I don't want to hold on to the old Sonos versions to avoid being without something that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place.

sleep timer in new app “not available”

I listen to audiobooks via Libby every night to fall asleep.  I set the sleep timer and away I go.  Newest version of the app has NO sleep timer.  The App is now worthless to me.  I looked to downgrade back to S2, that’s not available.

Inability to edit queue in new app!

Sonos…..you can’t seriously think it was a good idea to remove the ability to edit the music queue / add or change what’s playing next, etc.!!!!  This is one of the things people use the most!!!  Please fix it ASAP!!!!

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

YouTube Music playlist problem - only 100 songs?

I have a 17 device setup and have extensive 300+ song playlists on YouTube Music.They're leftover from the days when Google Play Music worked flawlessly with direct casting to Sonos, pre lawsuit days.Until recently everything worked fine, but today I noticed that the playlists are limited to top 100 songs, the rest do not show up!I deleted the service, reauthorized it, only to run into the same issue.Any advice of how to fix this?

New IOS app will not refelct any changes made

I downloaded the new app which was my first mistake. But when I try the to make changes in the system like group speakers, the grouping happens but the IOS app will not recognize it. it defaults to selecting the first speaker in the list and will not reflect any changes. Anyone else running into this bug?

Further sidelining of NAS Music Library in new Sonos App??

I can’t see any mention of a (NAS) Music Library in the promotional content for the new Sonos App. There is plenty of mention of “favourite Music Services” though.Please please tell me that, unlike the new search, support for NAS music libraries is not being further sidelined? This is one of the things that drew me to Sonos in the first place (in 2008 FYI).Joel

Hey Sonos, I am not happy!

Hey Sonos,Just my 2 cents worth in case you are listening…I was really exciting/optimistic for the release of the new Sonos App!I don’t need to repeat the long list of gripes/problems that I and others are having with the App.I think that you have unfortunately dropped the ball with releasing an App “update?” that is buggy and lacks quite a LOT of the functionality that was included in your “old” S2 App. You probably should have  left the old S2 App available for download until the new App is up to standard and contains a feature set that at least matches what is in your old S2 App.The lack of pre-warning from you regarding the number of missing features in the new app makes me question the level of respect you have for your existing Sonos customer base, which is concerning to me and should also be to you.I personally think that you are betting a LOT on the success of the new products being released later this year. Therefore annoying your existing customer base with releasing what I w

Music Library Problem with new iOS App

I’m finding the new app very buggy regarding music library access. The new app (unlike the old) wont play most content from the music library shared from my PC, but it can find the library and display the content (albums).  I then press play, and it just spins or says “something went wrong”. Also, certain content works - most doesn’t. And weirdly, via the new Sonos WEB app I can play all content from my music library (and then control it via the new iOS app). So the browser on my iPad can get to the content and play it, where my iOS iPad app can’t play that same music library content. But once it is playing via the web app, I can control it in the iOS app.But this is a clunky workaround to say the least.Anyone have a fix?

Where is the music index now option and the new S2 app?

All of my digital music is stored on my western digital Nas Drive. The previous S1 and S2 apps allowed me to update my music index whenever I added or deleted music on my Nas Drive. I can’t find that option in the new app.   I was also able to create shortcuts to the various music folders on my Nas Drive through the old app, but apparently the new version no longer supports that option. Why is that?

My list of issues with new Sonos App on IOS

​​​​​​I have updated the Sonos IOS app on just ONE of my IOS devices (thankfully).My overall impression of the new Sonos IOS app is that it is missing quite a bit of functionality that was available in the old app. I therefore suspect there will be quite a backlash from existing users until Sonos address some of these issues.For what it is worth, here is my initial list of issues/questions…1 - There are issues with the Rova service on the new app. When you click on Rova via the “Your Services” rail nothing shows.My other IOS devices that are still using the old Sonos app correctly show the list of Rova Station selections as expected.2 - Related to the above point, when searching for a radio station. e.g. “The Sound” the Rova stations do not show in the results and the Rova service icon in the search rail shows with a “!” icon next to the service name. Doing the same search using the old app correctly returns the Rova stations in the search results.3 - The “Sonos Favorites” rail list on

Spotify playlists on new app update iphone

I updated my apple devices to the new app update today 5/7/24 and my Spotify playlists no longer all display. Before the update I could see all of my Spotify playlists but now they stop at “K”, the list is sorted alphabetically, so I can’t see any playlist that starts with letters A-J. It seems like Spotify now has a limit of total playlists which it didn’t have before. My playlists are searchable but when I go to my Spotify playlist screen it only displays playlist beginning with letters K-Z. Please help.I don’t have a lot of playlists either. Easily under 100, probably 50-75.Can I somehow just revert back to the previous app version?
