Music Library Compilations Issue Under 16.3.

Today I successfully updated to the latest 16.3 Firmware and Windows Desktop Controller.
I subsequently performed an “Update Music Library Now” from the 16.3 Windows Desktop Controller.
Now any Sonos Controller (including SonoPhone, SonoPad) show multiple entries for each compilation album when viewing Albums.
Just an example shown below...
 

Does anyone else have this issue?
Ross.

Hi @rosswells127 

I’m not sure why you posted this twice (please don’t), but we are aware of this issue and are now investigating. Thanks for flagging!

In the meantime, we paid, they’ve received, we no longer have a properly functioning product.

Has anyone got any visibility on the time for the next firmware update, and whether or not it would be intended to fix this issue with that update?

I was shocked when this issue hadn’t been sorted after two weeks. The fact is still a live issue is unbelievable to me.

Are they actually fixing ANYTHING at this point?

I have to think this and the app issues must be devastating to their sales. I certainly wouldn’t apt to establish a system built on their technology. A new customer would have to be oblivious to all this.

New app just dropped, but no firmware update yet, so still not fixed as we know it’s speaker firmware that has the problem…

Shame on Sonos. Another update NOT fixing the compilation mess. I so much miss John MacFarlane. Where are you?

New outrage: with the latest app update, all of my “services” have disappeared. . But, they still reside in the Windows controller on my desk top, leaving me wondering about whether to add them back to the app, remove them from the controller and then add them back, or drive to Sonos headquarters and deposit all of my products in the lobby for a marshmallow roast. I had a port and a portable speaker in my prior residence, left for the new owners. Now I have two sound bars and a port. I feel badly for the new owners of the prior residence.

After adding 2 of 6 back into the app, they all reappeared. Doesn’t anyone here know how to play this game?

Aside from the compilation album problem (which makes my extensive music library way too cluttered and makes it prohibitively time-consuming to try to listen to albums I want to listen to), there is also the need for the alphabetical index we used to get on the right side of the screen, which enables the user to jump to albums (or artists, or genres, etc.) that start with a certain letter.  That is enormously useful, and wouldn’t seem to be complicated.  No plans that I have seen to fix it.  Oh, well . . .
