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.

My first purchase from Sonos, Connect:Amp and I already regret it. Sound quality is above average, but nowhere near the top(like Bluesound). And mentioned above no possibility to add a folder function just means that Sonos guys do not care at all. 3 years of people`s requests and still no solution? It is a simple code, any IT student coud do this in a day. What happened to the ex best music system??? Time to move further, Sonos, you got stuck.

Ahhhhh, except there most certainly IS a folders view, as stated mid-way through this THREE YEAR OLD THREAD.

Nice going. Signed up to complain about Sonos and shill Bluesound and you had to pick this thread to embarrass yourself. :8

I guess the original thread is about a folder view for music residing on the phone (which there is not). But I have no idea what the poster is wanting or what bluesound has anything to do with the issue (if there even is one).

Re-reading the OP, I see that is true. But we are in agreement about the Bluesound shill and I highly doubt they even have Sonos to be able to distinguish between folders view on the library and folders view on the phone.

Lot of drive-by hit-piece posts lately. Maybe it's the 20% sales increase over the holidays.

Wow, such a good response! Nice. Only I struggle to find an answer to the solution in these clever replies.
jgatie, you mentioned that there IS an android folder view. "Room"->"On this Mobile Device" I find only Artists, Albums, Genres, Songs, Playlists and Podcasts options. No folder view. Should I be looking elsewhere? As I mentioned above it is my first Sonos purchase and it is possible that I am not getting something.

There is no folder view for what is stored on your phone. If you put an nas drive on your network and put all your music there you will get better performance and folder view in index

Ok, so I need third party add-on to make it work. Not cool.
What do you mean about better performance? Sound quality, search/load speed or something else? I don`t really experience any issues with that.

jgatie, can you comment about folder view in sonos app? No one else seems to find it but you. Or do I have to say magic words to get your attention?: Bluesound it better.

As explained (does anybody even read threads anymore??!!), there is no folders view for content stored on a phone, only for your local library on an NAS or computer. And if "Bluesound it (sic) better", why are you here? Go buy Bluesound. Horses for courses and all.
