Android Mobile Device streaming needs a Folder View like (Music Library\Folders).

Sonos thx. for creating the Android Mobile Device streaming capability the only thing it needs now it the Folder View. Music genres, etc. are nice for iPhone folks but I (and possibly most Android users) like to categorize/organize my music (on my mobile device) into folders. Allowing parent level (down thru sub) folder playback would be icing on the cake. Similar to what the desktop/mobile controllers currently have (Music Library\Folders). Please add this capability to the next Android Mobile Device streaming update.

Just got my first sonos the Play:5, great speaker! Only thing i really miss is this. I keep a lot of Mp3 files on my phone and they are not all tagged correct with artist album an so on. But a solution like this where it is sorted by folders would remove this problem all together + being easier to manage.

Really hoping for this change 🙂

another great idea, not that hopeful that Sonos will do anything about it.

I feel your pain, William. But does Sonos feel our pain?
I couldn't enjoy playing my own collection of music soundtracks because there is no 'folder play' option. The existing listing of tracks mess up my whole compilation of songs and it is truly inconvenient to add individual music to queue one at a time. End of the day, I couldn't even save the playlist on my phone because i don't have a NAS yet.

Sonos, this is an urgent update. Please help Android users asap. We deserve the same treatment as Apple users.

I got my self an mp3 tag editor and updated the folders to have an appropriate tag, sonos are slug like when it comes to communication and updates

I agree with this idea 100% I called cust svc about it and got no help that was solving this problem. Sonos, i spent a lot of money on this system and it does not do what a $40 belkin blue tooth device does.To get around this problem i connect the bluetooth device to the line in and connect my phone to the bluetooth device, then i can play music from my folder. It is a work around but i should not have to do this. Hurry up and fix this annoyance.

I have just invested another $1,500 to get around this problem. A Dlink 2-bay Nas, 2tb Nas Drive and Asus RT-AC66u router. Voila! The folder option becomes available in my Android app. I think the cheapest solution is get a Dlink iCloud and copy all the songs into it. But I'm more sad now because the money would be better spent on a few more Sonos speakers. Now I know what Sonos means: Spend On Nas Otherwise Sorry

I'm am very happy with my playbar. I miss the folderview in my Android phone. The idea from William is sent in for two years, But the idea is still actuel. Please add this usefull function (folders in Android mobile devices) and make the sonos system perfectly. You have done this already for the music library.

Feature still unavailable? I sort all my music by folder,which makes my android device almost unusable for streaming.
