I cannot seem to find a way to add songs to playlist in the new app. when I click on the ••• next to a song while another is playing, the only option now appears to be Replace Queue, and no ability to insert the song. what am I missing?

I just updated my app and that feature is not there. Maybe I am missing something so please what are the steps to add new songs or create a new playlist?

As well as the app, also just check you’ve updated your system:

Settings - System Updates - Check for Updates.

On the bottom right of as song on my screen there are three dots and when I click it, this is what shows up. There is no more button anywhere. Same with my playlist.

You’ve not confirmed if you’ve updated the System (per my suggestion)…

As you can see from my screen shot above, this is what you should see if everything is up to date.

If you are fully updated across your speakers then turn off your router and speakers, and force close the app. Leave it five mins. Then turn on the router and let it fully boot up. Then turn on each speaker one at a time and let each boot up to white light before moving on to the next one. Then re-open the app and tap the three dots again.

Thank you so much. It worked after I unplugged everything and turned it back on.  You saved sonos a long time customer.

I’m still sitting tight waiting for an IOS update, but why can’t I just search for a song that I know is in my playlist and go directly to that song without the app adding another instance of it into my playlist. I tried this again last night with a song I heard in the background of a movie I was watching. I know I had it in the Sunroom Playlist, which is right next to the Living Room, I searched for it and selected Play Now from the context menu, and while it was playing, I had to scroll down (as usual) to try and find it, and it added it to an area where maybe I last was in the playlist. This just makes my playlists larger and larger. I should be able to just go to the searched song in the playlist and play it. I know something like this and the fact to the app loses your place in the queue and keeps taking you to the top every time is not a priority, but to me either is worrying about the Ace Headphones. Why would anyone want headphones. I just don’t understand that.

And another thing, why is Sonos closing various topics. I’m in a few topic groups but now they are closed. How do I find and join other groups?
