I have an iPhone 13 Pro. Updated to the latest app. If anyone can tell me where the option to add a local library is, I’d appreciate it. Tapping Music Library under Your Sources brings up the fake NAS, with no option to add a local library. Add Services brings up Apple Music, but only the subscription service, not local music.

I've got a Music Library item in the settings page, and in there, there is a link to this article (I'm on Android though):

Still only with the fake NAS. I keep hoping for the old Add Music Folder option, where playlists are updated without having to keep exporting and renaming the xml file. Thanks for your help.

New app update is not allowing me to connect to any music service using search feature. It'll play the last song played, but search is useless. Keeps saying, "Something went wrong". Guess I'll be listening to Sir Duke on repeat for the foreseeable future.

Library search is back. App is slower than previous release. Still can't add to queue.

Spoke to soon.

It worked once and started playing up.

Kinda all over the place.

Okay a restart seems to have settled it down.

Regarding recent upgrade. My music is in two folders on my Mac. In the past, no problem accessing both. Now, I have added the main folder. It works fine. When adding my second folder, which is on the same hardrive and same general location, I get the following: Access to the shared folder {my path} is denied. check username and password (nothing to check-they are correct). I talked to Apple. My share settings are correct. I’ve copied the path and pasted. Typed it and used variants. 

In my case the new version (80.05.04) is draining my iPhone battery as it has a constant background process running (that was not the case previously). Is anybody else experiencing this?

I have used Sonos products since 2012. I’ve been a loyal customer. This is my first post in this community.

The new version of the Sonos App (Phone, IPad) is terrible. I mean REALLY TERRIBLE.

Slow doesn’t even describe the user interaction. I use my own music library and Apple Music. Searching for music=ridiculously slow. Changing the volume=Intolerably slow. I’ve been on with support but there is no fix

I’m about to give up and sell my speakers. And go with a different solution.

Did you update the app yesterday to the new version that deals with many music library issues, along with a few other functionality improvements?

There’s another thread on this, first posted about by @Bumper - I’ll see if I can find it, unless he links to it first…

But yes, I lost 30% battery from just 8 mins total screen time (and 20h background usage!). It appears to be an issue with iOS only.

Yepp, same issue for me. The app totally drains my battery on the newest version of the app.

Hi @MmTt, @ColinvZ, and @Rhonny, I’m guessing you’ve tried disabling Background App Refresh in the iOS Settings? One assumes that would mitigate the battery drain … but the last three months have taught me not to assume anything.

Thanks. I’ve just given it a try…

My android phone doesn't like the new release. Maybe because I had wifi off? I hadn't run the app today.

Hi @Silverthorn, kudos for discovering and posting. Unusually convincing to see the same battery drain on Android and iOS.

The weird thing is I rebooted the phone last night and hadn't run the app today. My phone is pretty aggressive about this sort of thing though.

Hi @Silverthorn, under iOS there is a setting to disable Backgroud Refresh on an app-by-app basis, which basically prevents an app from running except when it is in the foreground. I think the same setting is on Android. Give that a shot, it ought to mitigate the battery drain.

I think the optimise now thing does that for you. I might have a look at start up options though.

Hi @Silverthorn, is your phone a Google Pixel? Trying to learn how general/brand-specific that feature is on Android phones.

No it's a cheap Oppo phone. I’m thinking it's a bit too aggressive on the battery use thing. I’ve used that optimise now thing on a few apps in use a lot like Firefox. It's got me train to keep an eye on it now. Occasionally I close everything, particularly if I am going out, and occasionally reboot which is advisable anyway.

Can't say I noticed a problem with the battery life but it's not like I am out and about all day.
