In the new 2024 Sonos App :

Where are the alarms settings? 

Where is the Last.fm service?

Where is the Android widget?

This is a real nightmare. I hope Sonos will fix all that asap because what they did releasing this not finished app is scandalous.

Away from home right now but going to try and give that a go when I get back home. 


@Ken_Griffiths 

The duplication issue does show that the app still needs work.  So for some it doesn’t quite do what they want it to.  I personally miss the better queue management of the “orange” app.  Also the queue does not follow the music progress.  And last where is the local library album art in the queue (IOS).  So for me the app is not quite ready yet.

The M3U duplication issue can be avoided by using SonoPhone/Pad, Sonos PC or Phonos Universal.  The queue will not duplicate using those apps.

For you and many others the 80.x app is adequate.  Just not quite there for me…. Yet.

I didn’t say the new App was doing the things you mention ​@MoPac in fact those things are still on the ‘to do’ list as Sonos have mentioned and they’re looking at the A-Z searching of local libraries too. 

The ‘new’ issue with .m3u playlists is quite obviously  a bug that has crept into the App and needs fixing, as some users may already realise.

The queue management and the saving/naming of Sonos playlists etc. is also on their to-do list aswell.

I haven’t mentioned that things are not still progressing with the new App. We all know that Sonos has more to do.  Sonos acknowledged that on December 10th.

The App progress reports/updates from Nick Millington at Sonos do outline where Sonos are with many of these things …and mentions some other things besides, particularly in relation to the App development and testing for those with impaired vision.

That’s why my post ended with a “Yet”.  I agree things will be fixed.  It’s just crazy slow progress.

I don’t really have that many issues with the App @MoPac, I can still play Music/TV audio to each of our speakers/groups/headphones, whether that be locally held audio, or streamed from an online service.

Anything missing/still to be implemented, I just mostly now see as a ‘nice to have’, but the music etc. has never been unavailable to me and I haven’t had issues loading the App, controlling volume etc. … even my local SMBv2/3 shared library has always remained visible in the App. Same goes for ‘room’ device-discovery aswell.

I accept there’s more for Sonos to do in several areas, as they’ve announced …and that some users may still have issues with their network setup/hardware etc. but speaking from my own perspective, the changeover from S2 to the new Sonos App has not created too many issues with my Home setup.


App Feedback:

 

Playlist on YouTube Music does not display all songs that are on it. Rather, after scrolling down through about 100 songs, the list loops back to the first song and begins again.  It seems to do the infinitely. So I cannot see a large number of songs in this playlist after the 100th. Please fix, very annoying

Same thing happens with M3U playlists of your music if the playlist is larger than 100 tracks ( not sure of the exact amount of tracks ).  I don’t use YouTube Music but what I have done to avoid this duplication of my M3U playlists is use SonoPhone, Sonos PCPhonos Universal for PC or the old Sonos “Orange” app to load the M3U playlist.  When loaded with any of these duplication does not occur.  You can even look in the new app and there will be no duplication there either.


Are you going to fix it guys or not?


Just returned from an Xmas eve drink to find my system, which was on a low volume, blaring at a high volume, all by itself - yet again 😡👎
