Show the Composer tag on the Now Playing screen

If we could get a few more people to post it might speed things along...... 🙂

It's not only the composer who's missing - it's the composition, too if more than one are on one album and you don't want to repeat the name (e.g. of a symphony) in the name-string of the track, making it unnecessary long.

Come on Sonos guys - there's more than rock and pop and jazz etc out there.

I cannot believe that a premium product like Sonos does not offer the option to see who the composer is - and it seems that customers have been asking for this for years!  I would have thought that Itunes must set a benchmark of some pretty much minimal requirements for what information can be displayed.  If Sonos can't (or won't) get this sorted out soon, then I will not expand my Sonos system any further and will simply revert to pushing music from my Ipod through my existing stereo system.

It seems like our requests are being ignored despite confirmation from tech support to the contrary.  A real dissapointment.

I am reluctant to add composer to every track as will hit Sonos' limitation on tags.

This is a real mystery, why Sonos can't communicate to their most loyal customers, those who really want to company to succeed (maybe just to justify how much they've spent on Sonos gear. I have many ideas that would help their products, particularly in software functionality, but feel I would be wasting my time. Is anybody home?

Thanks for your reply. Can you explain this for me?  I add composer info to every track.....

I didn't realise there was a limitation on tags. I have long since lost track (excuse the pun) of the hundreds of gigabytes of classical music I have on my system, and each track is fully tagged and indexed.

There are several threads here somewhere on tag limitations. As I understand it, Sonos has a hard limit of 65,000 tracks (songs, movements, etc.) in its database, but this limit is lowered by how much information it needs to keep for tags. Furthermore, this is affected by file format (!) - apparently FLAC files have more tag fields, causing the track limit to be reduced further. I only have 15,000 tracks so far, so will probably add an abbreviated composer name to my classical tracks. On some long rainy day. Sonos' long silence on this matter, and other shortcomings of their design, make me think they will not be upgrading their basic underlying technology, ever. Tweaking the controller UI with cosmetic changes and NO functional improvements is just not enough to keep me using their products. Much as I would love to have more units around the property, I can't justify living with the limitations. I acknowledge that Sonos met a real need with SonosNet a few years ago when WiFi wasn't up to the task of streaming audio, but now there are many alternatives. Their product is limited by the hardware in the players and connection devices, particularly memory, and I doubt they have a strategy for customer upgrades. So we are stuck with what we have. Enough ranting.....

I fear that Brault is right. Sonos' days are drawing to a close. I will probably switch to B&O -- not cheap, but I already own their speakers and they are clearly in this for the long-haul.
