Hello,

A suggestion for the sonos APP: capability to browse folders.

Currently, the APP (at least in Android), in the “Browse this device”, the available options are:

  • Artists
  • Albums
  • Genres
  • Songs
  • Playlists
  • Podcasts

I suggset the addition of the option to browse folders. Why? Because not al files have the correct data to be identified, so if I look for a band (for example), not all songs are showing up. So, if I could browse to the folder containing all the files for the band (and the subfolders containing albums) and was able to play (recursively so to include any subfolder in the folder) from this folder, it would not matter whether the files have the correct data or not.

 

Thanks!

Hi. You are perfectly entitled to make such a suggestion. However,  I think playing from the device is a low priority for development for Sonos and you are unlikely to save any changes.

In any case, sorting out the data on the files would be a better solution.

If you stored your tracks on a NAS or computer and set up a Sonos Music Library then you would have a Folders view.
