Feature Request: Display Artist Name under Album Title when browsing/searching Music Sources

Hi Sonos Team and Community,

I would love to submit a feature request to improve the user experience and UI of the Sonos app when browsing external music sources (like a local music library on your NAS).

Currently, when you search or browse by Album, the app only displays the Album Title in the list. It would be incredibly helpful and much more intuitive if the Artist Name was displayed directly underneath the Album Title.

When you have a large music library or are looking for specific albums, seeing just the album name makes it hard to distinguish between them at a glance (especially for self-titled albums or common album names). Adding the artist name would allow users to find the correct album instantly without having to click on it first.

Please upvote or comment if you agree and would like to see this visual improvement in a future update!

That sounds like a good idea to me. That’s the way it is displayed in the S1 controller. Artist under the Album name.

As per usual the Desktop controllers still do this (as do third party), this is purely an S2 mobile app problem.
