I am totally frustrated and infruiated with the total failure of the new app. that was installed in May.         In my case the main problem is that I have lost all my play lists which disappeared with the new app, and it says no music available when I try to update. These Play List have been compiled over many years,  In addition to this I cannot install any new music from I tunes on to the sonos system any longer -it’s an absolute disgrace. In simple terms my sonos system is now useless!

Following Mr. Spences   sonos CEO] communication a number of weeks ago I would have expected some progress but in my experience nothing has changed . It is now 5 months since that failed  app was installed  & still no solution ,  how much longer are we expected to wait -6 months a year 2 years before all the issues are resolved , if ever!!  As one other contributor stated why don’t they re install the original app which worked well until they sort out the problems with the new app-is this not possible?  

Like many others I have a number of  useless expensive speakers, what do I do after waiting 5 months  with no music, for the issues to be resolved with no indication or date when, if ever, it will be sorted.        I am now looking at other systems as sonos has failed -will I get compensation for the expensive speakers that I cannot use? due to the company failing to provide what it was contracted to do?

I also believe that it should be made public, this sonos failure, in order to warn innocent members of the public who may be considering sonos equipment. To this end I am forwarding these details onto “WHICH “the  UK consumer magazine.  WHICH informed me  they are already aware  of the sonos issues as it has been reported from other sources.

I also intend to take up the issue with the Media & National newspapers unless the problems are resolved by the end of September.

I presume other sonos users not only in the UK but world wide will support me in  this proposal.

No, not really. There are lots of angry owners but you seem late to this party, and your post is full of holes that have been addressed previously. 


 I’m guessing you’re referring to Sonos playlists?  Mine are there in Sonos Favorites.  They may take a little time to show, but they are there in my Sonos Favorites.

 I also use SonoSaver on a Windows 10 PC to back up those Sonos Playlists.  They can be restored using SonoSaver should they be lost for some reason.

 If the playlists you’re referring to are iTunes created I’m not sure what to do.  I think someone in the community said iTunes playlists are XML and would have to be converted to M3U to be indexed by Sonos.  I’m probably all wrong on this one, but further investigation here might help you.

 You say you can’t install any iTunes music into the Sonos system any longer.  Not sure what that means.  Are you indexing the iTunes folder on a PC or Mac?  Where is your music share folder?
