and now you've broken indexing

I thought it couldn’t get any worse. No fast scroll, no album art, no search.

You’ve basically destroyed use of my music library.

Now I want to listen to an album called “Trance Europe Express” that I’ve filed under the Album Artist “Trance Europe Express” because it’s a series of compilations and I get this

 

 

track 9, 3, 2, 10 etc.

This is on both the Android app and Windows desktop. After playing this mess the Android app just crashes cyclically now.

What else might suffer from the same thing? DJ Paul Oakenfold, filed under Album Artist Paul Oakenfold, lots of different artists.

 

 

 

Yep, worked for years but now junked. Thousands of pounds worth of equipment now no more than scrap.

Apologies if someone else has pointed this out but a search of topics didn’t immediately show anything obvious.

I don’t expect anything other than corporate platitudes so really don’t bother. Do better.

Hi @Midmodder

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Thanks for flagging this behaviour - we have identified an issue and are now investigating. I will update this thread when it is resolved, but there is no ETA for when that might be.

Yes, in addition to the multiple copies of albums, which appears to happen due to multiple artists on an album, the track listings are also screwed up due to multiple album artists.

 

And YES, I HAVE “SORT FOLDERS BY” SET TO “SONG NUMBER”.  Just wanted to clarify.

 

The track listings are now sorted by the “Artist” meta data and then the track number.  Here’s an example from my library from Tha Alkaholiks album “21 & Over” - this is the order of the tracks listed and the Artist metadata, so you can see how the sorting is broken by sorting on the Artist:

 

Track 02 - Tha Alkaholiks

Track 03 - Tha Alkaholiks

Track 04 - Tha Alkaholiks

Track 08 - Tha Alkaholiks

Track 09 - Tha Alkaholiks

Track 07 - Tha Alkaholiks Feat. Field Trip

Track 01 - Tha Alkaholiks Feat. King Tee

Track 06 - Tha Alkaholiks Feat. King Tee

Track 05 - Tha Alkaholiks Feat. Loopback

Track 10 - Tha Alkaholiks Feat. Threat

 

SONOS, this is basic functionality.  WTF are you doing there?
