Sonos Windows App v16.3 (S2) Keeps clearing queue

Greetings,Ever since this update my queue keeps being cleared. At first I felt was an anomaly - rebooted and all appeared to work fine. However, if I put the system to sleep and come back later the queue has been cleared. (I would have say 400 songs - and it is on song 20). Very annoying since these are music shows that are each 2hrs - and now I cannot remember the last nor where I was in the song.Anyahoo I now check everyday for a new update to see if this queue problem has been resolved.  Funny thing is - based on 40y+ of working with computers, I have never seen such a featureless app updated as much as this. And this last update now has rendered it almost useless.Sadly I am stuck using this app to play music onto the Sonos pair. One problem I have with the Sonos pairing is that from my PoV - there is no “singular point” to connect to - to reach the pair. With various music players they force you (via uPNP) to choose an IP but when you play music - only one speaker works. It would b

Napster connection is broken

Connectivity to Napster seems really messed up. Sometimes it can’t connect at all and gives an error that says “Something went wrong”.  Other times it connects, but only shows half of my content that should be in “My Music” and “My Artists”.  I see a longer list via the Napster website, but Sonos only sees half of it.  I restarted by wired “Port” device and it didn’t help.  The WiFi connected Roams and Hubs have the same problem.  I upgraded my Android app on my phone and it didn’t help at all.  What’s going on?

Sonos System in App Tied to Wifi SSID; Need for VPN Support

Adding app feedback here to the numerous requests for VPN support.I tunnel my internet connection to my home network over a Wireshark VPN while working remotely. The app flat out refuses to acknowledge my Sonos system (including Ace headphones) in spite of being connected to my home network where the app has access to Sonos product discovery packets. I can confirm that the devices are all accessible via their normal IP addresses, and that discovery packets are present on the network over VPN. I would like to strongly recommend that the app attempts discovery of a known Sonos system despite whatever wifi SSID it detects. There is no reason why it shouldn’t.My two cents.

New app Sucks!!

This new app is one of the worst apps I have ever used! I have been a high end integrator for 30 years! I love Sonos but will now have to find a new music system to sell if they don’t fix this!

Android and iOS controller can't see "Your Sources"

Sonos release 4 August 2024 (I'm guessing the date; I updated these on Tue 6 August):There is a fault with the Android & iOS controllers: neither display the section called "Your Sources", which, in my case consists of [1] Music Library and [2] Line-In [Amp]The Music Library is accessible (it resides on a powered-on Windows device) and (of course) I am able to see all of its contents on the Windows version of the controller.But when I start the Android controller and the iOS controller, neither controller shows "Your Sources". Note that the Windows device was already up and running and playing (using the Music Library) to a Roam speaker with no issue.I then power on both Sonos Play speakers (and the Line-In Amp) .. and magically.. the Android and iOS show up the "Your Sources" details.What could possibly have prevented seeing my sources on those two mobile versions?? I can’t believe the mobile versions are closely-coupled to the Play speakers to trigger “seeing” the music library.T

Cannot Add Services (Apple Music) in New Sonos App

Greetings All. Been having a mare since new update as cannot add in Apple Music in Content Services.I have tried this from Android, iOS. Deleted both Sonos and Apple apps and tried again. Tried older version of Sonos app etc… On iOS and Android I cannot add any of the services listed. Strangely I tried on Windows and can add some services from there but when I try Apple Music it results in a message stating that ‘Apple Music must be added to Sonos from an iOS device or Android phone’. Anyone had any luck in resolving a similar situation>?

App update battery drain.

Please tell me I’m not alone in seeing a huge drain my device batteries since the 80.50.04 update. I’ve had music playing since about 8am currently 11:46am and it’s used 15% of my battery. 6mins screen time and 14h in the background?!?  Same across all my devices, this can’t be right surely? Has to be know issue, this is not acceptable. What are they doing mining crypto in background to prop up the share price?  *edit - turns out I can’t type, apologies for mistake  in the title 🤦‍♂️

Is the queue really empty when the new app says it it?

I just played an old playlist. On my computer, where I am still using the old app, I see that it’s playing, and I can see that there are a lot of songs in the queue. But in the new app is says the queue is empty, even though it also says it’s playing a song. Is there a way to really see what is in the queue?

Two separate stereo pair Sonos systems; Apple Music Family subscription; some songs only play through one pair

I really do love the Sonos stereo pair with sub system.  Got my wife one as well.  We share an Amazon Music account and all is well there.  Just added an Apple Music Family Account as well.  When using “Hey Sonos” commands there are songs that will play on mine and not on hers and other songs play on hers but not on mine.  Have never had this issue with Amazon Music.  We use Apple Music in her vehicle as well.  Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to remedy it?Thanks in advance..
