I see nowhere to update Music Library in any of update apps or web server.

Select Manage, then Music Library, then Scan for New Content:

 

 

 

Music Library Album Art is there, but it seems to take a while to load for me. My library is encoded in Flac and while previously Art loaded fine from folder.jpg since the update if I want it reliably on a track being played then it helps if it’s embedded for each track which I’ve yet to find a usable way of doing in bulk, otherwise sometimes it’s there sometimes not!

Well -- My iPhone does not have a “YOUR FOLDER” that I can find, nether does the Web App.

Might be worth deleting and reinstalling the App. What do you see when you select Music Library under Manage?

You can scan for new content but it does not appear to do anything - at least there is no indication that it is doing anything. Music Library seems to be neglected at the moment with a half hearted attempt at access with loads of issues and little if any of the original S2 or S1 features implemented. Nothing on the to-do list either.

Delete and reinstall on iPhone--under Manage only services are there, No Music Library😟

Can’t add source music location. Or Update Music Library with iPhone or Web App.

Found MacOS App at Sonos downloads, which by the way I thought got retired. Version 16.3 and I have something now to make changes, access Music Library.

Not retired, just in maintenance mode, along with the Windows app (not the web app). Only receiving bug fixes at this point.

This may be a long shot, but there are two ´Manage’ buttons, one by Services on the main page and one accessed by clicking the ´Gear’ icon top right of the main page.

In my opinion, on the Mac a flawed browser controller is not needed, as long they don’t terminate MacOS Version 16.3 which is all control I need. IOS version is flawed also. 🤧

@pwalsh2 

I agree… currently the desktop controllers probably are the most stable ones. But I suppose in future they won’t be supported any more.
