Is it me or can sonos not do something basic like play next track. If I select a track in an album, playlist etc. It just plays that track and doesn't continue to play the next tracks. What's that about?

Is this not what the new beta "fixes"?

Yes. But I hesitate sending anyone directly to a beta due to the no iOS issue.

The update mentioned here in beta just got fully released. There are some big changes that just came to playing music on Sonos that I think you might like. Take a look here for the announcement and details around Sonos version 6.4.

Nope, just letting people know who've been asking for the feature :)

We've gotten lots of great support already, and some great feedback during the beta too.

I've read about half of this page and still am not able to play an album or playlist without hitting play for each song. I shouldn't have to read an encyclopedia to do this. I'm not interested in a philosophical treatise on why all of this is the way it is. Please make your system functional. It's expensive. It should be elegant. Doesn't work with my audio books. Doesn't let me play from mobile devices now that Apple has everything cloud based. Update my software and sync my phone and now, without a lot of manual effort on my part, I can only play from my computer. But the interface sucks. So one song at a time from a single device. As far as I can tell, your product is more trouble than it's worth. I'm sure the answer is starting me in the face, but I've tried several times and several ways to play and album, now I have to get on with all of the actual work I have to do. Figuring out something that is supposed to make my life easier is not on the agenda.

Is that a question or a dismissal?

One song at a time? Long press on the song or hit the three dots. Choose to play now, play next, or add to end of queue.
