The UI only displays the track title when viewing an album.

For a various artist album the App does not show the artist in the track listing of an album.

Can Sonos App display the artist per track ?

Have you tagged “Use Album Artists” under Music Library → Compilation Albums?

My “Use Album Artists” is tagged, and when I stream a compilation album from Spotify the artists show in the track list.

If your music is stored locally (NAS, PC or similar), you must make sure each track is tagged correctly. I think this has been discussed earlier in the forum. Try a search.

Also, play around with “View Contributing Artists”. I’m not quite sure how that works for you as I have not enabled it in my system. Some of the other forum members may have other/better suggestions but this is my best shot. Hope it helps.

Yes, you can make it display the artists but you then lose the ability to search for them (as in a search will no longer find them). Unbelievable really and known for many, many years.
