Adding to queue

Can we please have the option to choose what tapping a song in the list does. It used to be that when I tap the song I would get an option menu to added to the end of the Q, play now and now it just instantly play goes to the end of my queue and start playing that song or worse entire albums. This is crazy. I understand it's because dumb people don't understand how a queue works but it destroys the controller for people that have an idea of what's going on. Please let us choose what happens, i liked the menu but it would be even better if we could choose a default action for tapping song then the three dots gives you the little menu.

That's false literally was told by sonos reps to do just that

You were told to post here. You were not told to "continue to bother them for it until there is a change or custom software becomes available". Post once to let your feelings be known. Discuss it rationally with others. Don't go on a mission by continuously posting repetitive, annoying pleas. That will get old fast, and it turns off those of us who agree with your sentiments, but not your methods. No one likes proselytizing, even your fellow believers.

If you aren't happy with it them I'm not sure how to advise you. I just want something that I'm willing to post people of for. It's not going to get worse so sorry.

It's been that way for a year or so. Nobody was more vocal about hating the change than me, but that time has passed. It's not changing, no sense wasting more than a post or 2 on it.

Again i think people are taking this wrong. I don't want it back the same way. I want an option buried in the menus to just choose.

People asked for an option the day it came out (actually before it came out, they asked in beta). Obviously Sonos has heard the request.

ISTM that they're rather like Apple - 'the only true way is the Sonos/Apple way' - they make no effort whatsoever to build software that suits any particular user.

Nothing wrong with raising this again and Jgatie is wrong to suggest that people will change their mind if we keep banging on about it. Especially as one of the main threads discussing it has been deleted.

I realise this is probably a dead thread, but I do agree with the OP. Having a default action set by the app for most users is fine and dandy, but an option buried in setting for those who don't LIKE the default action and wish to change it doesn't seem that unreasonable. I personally find it highly irritating that when you want to play one song from an album (I solely stream from my local music collection, so know what I want to listen to from a particular artist), you will add the entire album to your queue unless you use the 3 dots option. It kind of ties in with the whole "app 8.0 update makes us do more taps to achieve the same effect" complaint.

Not sure this makes a whole lot of difference to anything, but that's my thoughts on the matter anyway :8

There needs to be a way to lock the queue (party mode). It has been an issue even when clicking on song didn't replace the queue. There have always been way to many ways for people to interrupt or destroy the queue. Sonos though hasn't budged in giving this to us.

All they need is a party mode when selected on by a controller it becomes the master controller. All other controllers can then only add songs to end of queue when they select a song. Resolves a lot of issues with people interrupting the que or adjusting volume etc.
