Alarm not working

HelloI cannot see any recent threads on this but about 10 days ago my alarms have just stopped working altogether. have tried setting an hour before, radio, Sonos chime, set playlist etc but nothing seems to work. The time comes and goes and no music whatsoever from the Sonos. So frustrating as this used to be perfect before all the problems. Then the set timings had to be an hour before but it was at least functional. Now nothing

Album artwork not showing

 before Sonos updated the app in May, the stability and functionality was great. Since this update there has been lots of issues and some of them have been fixed and some have not and we’ve also talked about them on here.What is annoying is that all my album art that is stored on my local drive, is not showing from my NAS library and it used to work fine? It actailly works through Plex, but I prefer to use my own library, as I’ve got my own playlists that I’ve created over the years….Do we know when this will be fixed please?

Sonos App

I was planning to expand my Sonos system this Christmas but why should I or how should I if the app isn't working properly, you can't easily adjust volume, change music, or manage your multi-room audio setup, essentially rendering the speakers largely useless. So know what I’ve already invested into the system that I can’t manage.

Error when loading queue…. Still

 When I use Add to End of Queue to load a user created playlist I still get the error shown in the first screenshot.  In spite of the error the playlist loads.  Why does this still occur?  Thought this was fixed.

Idagio and Sonos app

So far as I can tell, it is still impossible to add an album from Idagio to the Sonos queue.   Will this be fixed any time soon?  Classical/opera streaming doesn't really work if you have to add dozens of separate tracks to a queue in order to hear the entire piece.

Sonos skipping songs automatically when playing Spotify?

This morning, I went to play a podcast on my Sonos One via the Spotify app and upon connecting, it immediately began skipping to each podcast in my “My Podcasts” playlist, without playing any of them.I switched to my Sonos Arc via the same process and did not have this problem. I played that podcast successfully, without any lag or loading time, Meaning this is likely a device issue, not a network issue.I have tried unplugging and plugging back in my Sonos One, restarting my router, deleting the Spotify integration and reinstalling it, and deleting and reinstalling the Sonos app.Anyone else having this issue? How do I fix this?

Android app does not display music library album art

Hi, my first post and previous threads on this topic were either old or had comments turned off so here goes.  Although working well, none of my collections album art shows on the Android app.  The build is 80.11.33 and previous posts/comments seem to infer that rolling back to a previous version would solve the issue.  So my question is: has anyone solved the issue or is reverting to a previous build the answer?  I suppose if the answer is yes then the remaining question is how is this achieved?

Upgrading from S1 to S2 - Library?

Will the music library I created by uploading CDs for the S1 system work in the S2 system? Will the Sonos Playlists still work?
