Updated to 9.2 but now the "manage" options are greyed out. I can't find any of my imported playlists. I am running a iMac OS X 10.10.5. I can't find any related resolutions so looking for help. Submitted diagnostics # 1769237365.

    You need OSX 10.11 or higher for full functionality now. You need to update your OS (assuming that is possible for your Mac).

    But 'full functionality' has been significantly reduced in the desktop controller.

    So, John B, no desktop controller has the feature to upgrade the music library? So how does that work then?

    You can configure music library from the mobile device pointing it properly to the desktop location.

    Yes Chris, but there is no feature to update the library and access new playlists available from the mobile device. Or if there is, then I can't find it!

      Update library (android) is under More, Settings, Manage Music Library, Update Music Index Now.

      Playlists are under My Sonos

      I don't know who this new controller was designed for but it sure wasn't me or the wife as we hate it.

      iPhone v9.2 manage music library greyed out! Almost 2K$ speakers that DID WORK FINE now broken!

      Why must speakers be upgraded along with controller if I HAVE NO INTENTION OF WASTING MORE $ on a system WITH NO LEGACY SUPPORT?

      Sonos has no legacy support! 2K$ system was working fine; now broken by forced “updates . iPhone Sonos 9.2 can’t manage music library.

      Buying new computer system is not a reasonable solution for problems your company created!

      You mean your iPhone is running iOS v9.3.5, that is why the installed Sonos app is partially supported.

      No my phone is running iOS 12.1.1

      If I want to update the controller it wants to update my controller and speakers.
      The last time I did that it pooched my entire system.

      I don’t have any new speakers, with my disappointment in this company I won’t add any new speakers, so why I must I be forced into updating speakers to update the controller?

      Next time... this time it's too late because the Sonos app has already been updated.

      I found a workable inexpensive solution to my managing music problem with the updated Sonos controller 9.2

      I purchased a third-party app called SonosPhone, there’s also a version for SonosPad, and it has a means to manage iTunes music which includes playlists.

      I didn’t have to buy any expensive hardware, or new computer systems, or throwaway phones.

      It cost me $2.99 for a copy for the app for my iPhone. I’m also going to get one to use on my iPad. And then I am going to never update my Sonos controller system again because it’s working fine and I wish it to stay that way.
