Play & shuffle from folder view of local library still missing from July 22 app update

This may be buried in another topic, but a specific feature we’ve used for years is still missing from the latest July 22 app update (80.05.04): the ability to play or shuffle music from the a folder view of our local music library.

I used a shelved Play:1 and a backup iPad to create a second Sonos system in order to test today’s app update (with the latest firmware). I was not especially surprised to find that feature is still missing since it’s also missing from the web player. Those controls are available in the “Songs” view of the library, which suggests the developers may have decided to only provide the function in a view that has individual songs. Having them in the folder views was admittedly an inconsistency given that none of the other non-Songs views had them, but it was a very useful inconsistency for us.

This old capability is still missing from the August 6 app update (iOS version 08.06.03).
