Hi!

On the Desktop version of Sonos Controller it's easy to add multiple tracks to a queue. Either I use the tick box for the tracks I want to add or I hold down SHIFT and select either by mouse or using arrow keys. Then I add them all in one command.

Is there something similar in the iOS Controller? I can't figure out how. I can only add tracks one at a time which is a bit boring and time consuming. Of course I know I can add a whole album and things lika that. So my question is regarding cases where I want to add a couple of tracks from an album, parts of a big collection of tracks e.t.c.

    Ken: I am not very familiar with the advanced settings of the Sonos controller, but I do not see a place where I can add the network path needed. Both "show media servers" and "show UPnP" servers are turned on. Can you offer some additional info? Thanks

    Ken: I just discovered the issue as to why I need to use a UPnP server. I have a Western Digital server (long story) which presents difficulties interfacing with Asset UPnP that I desired for my primary music streamer inside the house (Naim ND5XS). In order to make the latter setup work, I had to utilize NFS file format which is incompatible with Sonos; CIFS format is required to interface with Sonos. I will try a different UPnP service (Twonky is available on the WD server). Thanks for your help.

    Can't your Western Digital serve NFS and CIFS shares at the same time? What model number is your NAS?

    I am not sure, but I don't think so. It is model PR4100. However, I have found a work-around. I have an extra external hard drive on my desktop on which I backup all of the music on my server. Sonos is able to see Windows Media Player on my desktop, so I just shared the music folder on the backup external hard drive with Windows Media Player. Sonos now has access to all of my music AND I am now able to add all album tracks at once since the "Play All" button is now visible!!! Thanks to everyone for their help.
