I have owned my Sonos for a number of years, when it works, it is fine, but I have spent, literally, hours and hours trying to figure out why it doesn’t want to play my music collection. I’ll finally get it to play, it’s great for a period, then it starts all over again. I’m about ready to just junk it, and consider it a lesson learned.
Sonos is the worst product I have ever owned

Since the May 2024 release there have, I believe, been some music library issues, but the latest app releases seem to have resolved many of them. Is your system up-to-date?
Not nearly as bad, but I frequently have to restart the app to get it to work, and also frequently if I have speakers grouped, I need to ungroup, shut down the app and restart and then read the speakers to the group. All aggravating but at least it still works.
That certainly seems like an indication that there is something going on that shouldn’t be. Have you called Sonos Support directly to discuss it?
When you speak directly to the phone folks, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.
I called once. By the time I got through to someone that seemed that that they could help, I had already spent a little over 15 minutes on the call. I realized that at the time I didn’t have another 30-45 minutes to continue trouble shooting and just haven’t gotten around to trying again. I can live with, just means I won’t be buying more SONOS and give conditional recommendations on purchase.
