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?

Can't access my playlists.

Can't pick an individual track from albums in Search.

A fairly simple user friendly process made difficult.

Frustrating doesn't even cut it.

Thanks for nothing Sonos.

Look up “New Coke”. This app update is a wreck of an idea on the order of New Coke.

What the bloody @#$ has Sonos done to their app?!  It was so easy to navigate, make playlists, and play them and now all that is gone?  Makes no sense.  This update is the WORST! I never would have started using Sonos if this was the original app. 

 

After reading the techissuestoday post mentioned above, it doesn’t look like Sonos plans to bring back the playlist functionality that we used to have in the previous version (which I quickly reinstalled).  Time to find a replacement. 

 

The queue issues are slated to be fixed by “early June”.

My Sonos system just updated and now all my saved playlists are gone, nowhere to be found.  My saved albums I can see, but can’t play.  I only listen to my playlists which I took years to compile and need them back.  How do I get them back?

This new app is aweful to the point I feel like selling off my system and taking my business else where. Nothing works as it should, playlist disappear, cant play in the room I want as the app keeps reverting to another room,  can’t add to my existing playlists and the list goes on. Sort out Sonos or it’s goodbye and I have spent the best part of £4,000 on your products.

Aye your quite right. Like you I've spent a few bob on Sonos and was possibly going to do a bit of an upgrade, not so sure now.

Search an artist and it'll come up no bother but doesn't play, ach I'm well cheesed off with it.

I’m having a very difficult time putting my playlist, my music that is on my iPhone onto my Sonos speakers. Can somebody help me with this?

They can’t figure out how to add my playlist but the new app figured out how to send me an add to buy the new roam.  Shows their priorities, just make more money, forget supporting those people who already bought the product, we already have their money.

Are you trying to do this via the Sonos app?  Because the only way to play music from your iPhone is via Airplay.  You haven’t been able to play music from an iPhone via the Sonos app in a few years.

My playlist which I took years to create are now gone, can’t even see them.  My saved albums show up but when I try to play them I get a message something went wrong, try again.  Could Sonos at least put out a more honest message, “something went wrong, you trusted sonos, try again sucker.”
