Show the Composer tag on the Now Playing screen

I went back to TS with this

Thanks for your reply. Could you pass this suggestion to the devs and highlight that we've been asking for this for 5 years?

and got

all requests are monitored by our developers, so no worries it is being looked at.

I think Charles is right. We need to bombard TS with this one......They're clearly NOT looking at it....

I'll be contacting support to also raise this. Don't see any reason why composer can't be added. It's annoying and ugly to have to include compose within the (already long) titles of each track.

The information can be read directly from the file. I suggest that the entire tagged info be made available as part of the menu. Who played the sax here? Who is the soprano? This information is often in my collection, and could be easily displayed. I just updated the tagging using Picard from MusicBrainz. To read it. I would have to log in to my computer and run a program there. Perhaps log into MusicBrainz.

Just thought I'd bump this. Not really sure Sonos listen to user requests but worth a go.....:-)

Me too. I'm listening to something now (from Qobuz stream service) from a Glenn Gould album but have no idea which composer wrote it! Because composer is excluded from the now playing info. It seems selection of certain fields for now playing is an easy option to include in settings.

Another person waiting and waiting and...

Give it up, guys. Sonos has made it clear that their focus is only on the streaming world. They've left us local library guys stranded with what we have.

But composer is not revealed in Sonos when playing streamed music either. So the problem here is that they don't care about classical music.

Actually, I believe it's absolutely impossble to get information on the composer of a track if it's not (erreneously) encoded into Artist, Album or Track by the streaming service.

Classical music in the streaming services is a complete disaster where everything is mixed up becuase the databases are not adjusted for classical music and no one knows where to put the important information. As far as I can see Sonos does absolutely nothing to improve the experience from these services. On the contrary it works even worse in Sonos than in the actual Spotify/Deezer and other apps. It's a big joke how badly these things work everywhere.

There's a lot of buzz regarding AI and thinking computers and even Sonos now has implemented a speaker that is supposed to trick us to belive there's some kind of intelligence behind the scenes when in fact no one has even managed to make such a simple thing as making the composer of a track searchable and viewable in systems that has been around for a decade. There's no intelligence present here at all and in some cases the crucial information (like soloists, arrangers e.t.c.) was probably thrown away when the track was ripped into the streaming servie and is lost forever.

And where are the sleeves? Gone forever apart from a small scan of the front cover. Pathetic.

I can't believe this has been requested for 5 years and Sonos are still ignoring it......"you asked . We listened", they say. Erm .....no ....we asked.....for five years......and you ignored us........
