How do I select to play all songs by an artist or composer? Currently, Sonos seems to limit me to only playing the Artist's/Composer's songs by album or individual song.

    Sonos - it would be good if you also add this functionality to listening to all songs by a composer.

    Pretty sure that already works exactly the same as for Artist described above

    When I select a composer, I don't see the "twisty" to the right.

    This is insane. I have IOS and can't find a way to do this either. I'm starting to get tired of Sonos at this point. This should be a basic player option.

    On iOS the same option for "All" exists as shown on the Mac above, but only for Music Library. If you are looking at Artists-All for other music services, it is up to that music service to offer an All option. Because Sonos has no idea what "all" means for a music service's content.

    Examples:
    Amazon offers Artists / All Artists Tracks
    Apple does not
    Spotify does Artist / Top Tracks

    etc
