Hi SONOS

Is it possible that you can add information about the year a song or album was released when it opens, that's a feature YouSee has in their app that is really good and I miss it in your app?

Best regards from a happy user of your fantastic products. :)

Hi @Stephan-H_Dk

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!

Whilst I’m sure this could be nice, I’d rather they spent their time fixing the basic local indexing first… 😉

Feature requests end up on a list of things, the developers pick things off that list based on criteria that are not public.

Gusses on priority are how many people impacted, how badly impacted, does it bring something that will be positive for Sonos, among others.

So few use the music library it doesn't earn a lot of priority points.

Why do the few have to suffer while the many get the good stuff? Just wondering...

I’m one of the few. Lots of my music can’t be found on streaming services.

Money, time and talent.

Only so much of each to be had, and Sonos is going to apply them where they see the most return on the investment.

Sucks for us library users but on the other hand the long time Sonos policy of not removing features is probably the only reason (looking at usage by customers and as a selling point) we still have the library option.

Yes, and unfortunately Sonos’s recent history is littered with examples of spectacularly poor decisions about how they allocate money, time, and talent.

If you use Apple Music, just upload ‘your’ Music, using Apple Music Sync Library (formally known as Apple Match), as long as your music library is less than 100,000 tracks, and each of your files are less than 200MB.

I learned many of these software development lessons tne hard way, the biggest takeaway was only make each dumb decision once and learn from it. Sonos under the new management seems to be trying.

As there is so little information available it is hard for us users, or even stockholders to honestly evaluate many internal decisions until they truly in a massive train wreck.

In the world of venture capital, common sense is thrown out the window. The next quarter returns are all that matters, even if the company at large suffers. This leads to some of the most inexplicable decisions a corporation can have, even seemingly suicidal at times. But as long as the venture capitalists are happy, all is well (Not!).
