Perhaps i’m being dim here, but has Play Next been removed from the S2 app?

In S1 I could press and hold a track and get a Play Next option, but that no longer works. has it been moved or removed?

    @GingerNinja . Not much of what you have written is correct I'm afraid.  Your screenshots are of the same scrollable list with different bits visible.  There is no connection to My Sonos. Except of course that when a track is already in My Sonos you don't get an option to save it again. 'My Sonos' is essentially Favourites and Playlists

    Thanks

    Ah - the penny drops. What I’m saying is correct but you’re right there is a MUCH slicker way to achieve the same thing that doesn’t involve two steps - The pick list of what to do with the track is scrollable so from my first screenshot I can scroll down to find play next.  What I’m describing is that the ‘add to my sonos’ having disappeared from the list (because it’s already been added) just shortens the scroll list so the ‘play next’ option is already visible.

    Obvious once you’ve done it but clearly catching some users out.

      Yes you have got it now!  And you certainly aren’t the first to be caught out like this.

      In this particular thread the OP’s issue turned out to be something different - he was looking for a ‘Play Next’ option in the queue.  But there are a few other threads where the user didn’t realise that the options were there when browsing music, just not immediately visible.

      Totally agree - seems obvious now I know (can’t believe it was so easy)! :astonished:

      This “hidden” functionality had me extremely frustrated for WEEKS.  It was so frustrating losing the functionality, that i had given-up and was looking for any way to downgrade my system back to s1 (to get the full playlist functionality back)! :astonished:

      Feeling very silly now I know it was just a scroll away! :rolling_eyes:  ...but in my defence, I do think it would make more sense to have either a visible scroll-bar (before you attempt to scroll), or some kind of indicator (perhaps an arrow etc.), to hint that the list is actually scrollable and not simply a tiny list of very limited functions (as it appeared to me). 

      If there were any kind of feedback function I could submit to Sonos, I would advise making it more visible, as I'm sure others have been caught-out by this and (wrongly) assumed the functionality was gone. :thinking:
