Sonos App on Windows 10 Not Playing Correct Songs

I’m trying to play “Fooled Around and Fell In Love” from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 soundtrack. The app just keeps skipping to “I Want You Back”. The album won’t play in order either. I’ve tried removing the NAS location and adding it back again. Same exact problem. Why did SONOS make such huge changes? Everything about their system has turned to crap except the sound for watching movies; which is still slow to respond. For years everything was working great then someone had the great idea of this 2.0 forced upgrade! I can’t enjoy my music library on the system I paid a shit ton of money on!

I’ve been running this library off my NAS for the past 4 years before it started having problems with the “amazing” new application updates.

Check the metadata. It’s possible that it’s very long and the library indexer is truncating some aspect of the metadata. My file names are relatively short. “Trk01.flac”, “Trk02.flac”, etc. I’ve noticed that some rippers like to throw throw the whole track name into the file name.

I’ll check it out. I’ll by removing the Guardians of the Galaxy and ripping it again. I did  have to recover my NAS drive as well.

I’ve noticed that some updates will force the user to redefine the library.

 When you rip it again change the tags such that the Artist & Album Artist tags are exactly the same.  Not ideal, but since Sonos broke how compilation albums are presented this temporary tagging structure allows you to use Albums to find that album intact.  I know this is obvious, but make sure Shuffle is off.
