Where is the setting to view albums as a list instead of a tiled layout?

I can't find it.

I have a few artists with many, many albums and, when browsing through albums of these artists, having to scroll through the albums is an extremely lengthy and tedious process.

Made the same comment a few days ago and got, word-for-word, the exact same, machine generated, answer. Looks like there are Artificial Intelligence robots back there handling these suggestions. Hard to imagine they are not paying more attention to these comments.

That's too bad, I am very disappointed in Sonos, they just seem to not listen!!!!

They made a lot of changes to most recent version that came out about a week ago. Many topics were listened to. This did not make the feature list on this version that just came out.

I have just been given Sonos Play 1's and a Play 3. The set up was easy and performance great but I am very disappointed that I cannot view the albums by list instead of by cover AND the cover art is not adjustable to get more albums on the screen. On my android 'phone I can only see 1 album at a time and with over 300 albums that's a pain.

Please add improved view functionality - art work size: album list / album cover toggle.

Wow! Version 6.4 released today still ignores this problem. I don't want to waste all my iPhone screen space with album covers. I just want a list of my albums. And I want it NOW!

As a new user I am frustrated by album view (which takes up a lot of space) ratehr than list view. I noticed another respondent refers to the 'browse folders' function. Does this still exist?

Folders view is at the bottom of My Music Library.

Now the CR100 is being discontinued, I need a phone/tablet controller that will show lists rather than cover art - like the PC controller. Can the phone app be changed to allow this function?

Having just bought a Sonos One myself, pretty much the single most irritating thing I've found with it is the stupid four-albums-per-screen browsing function on my Android phone. Doubly frustrating to come here and discover Sonos have apparently been ignoring this (known) problem for a couple of years...

Give us a list. A rapidly-scrollable and jump-scrollable list. I would say this isn't hard but it's scary how many MP3 players out there seem designed for people with about 20 albums... (And is why I use PlayerPro which has just such a useable listing function!)
