SONOS are you reading this? Please put the controller queue function back how it was!

I disagree with every single solution BoredofBedlam gave as "problem solved". Jgatie is correct I have never had to teach anyone how to use my Sonos. Saving the queue doesn't keep myself or my guest from stopping what is currently playing. It is not feasible either to be saving the queue all night long as friends and guests add dozens of songs to the queue.

BoredofBedlam - you obviously use your Sonos in a much different manner. That doesn't mean that changes should be made to the controller that don't allow users who use it in a multiuser, multiroom environment should not have protections to keep the music going.

If you were at a bar and the touchtunes jukebox at the bar allowed anyone to walk up and tap on a song and all of a sudden interrupt what everyone was listening to how would you like it. Even if there was a big honking sign on top the touchtunes saying "don't click on a song" people would click on songs all the time.

Maybe BOB is OTL. I don't see any docs and don't expect any. It's every (pick your acronym) for themselves.

I am trying to recall all of the options that the participants have offered. I might miss one here or there, but I have noted this many:

1. Allow users to roll back the revision

2. Provide a switch for the UI to handle parallel functionality

3. Create separate apps

4. Disable queue clearing from the top level of the apps

5. Obliterate 6.4 and send it to Hades

Add any I missed. As it stands, I'd vote for #2...

...and my bigger issue is not the click on song in album replacing queue (for the most party of you have edited queue it gives you dumb warning box). My bigger issue is when searching for tracks or in folders if you click on a track it interrupts current song playing with a play now command. If you go back for years people have been asking for a party mode that disables play now from the menu. Now not only do we still have no party mode to disable play now .... it has been absurdly made the default action when clicking on a searched song. Not sure why searching for a song means by default I want to hear it right now. That is totally against the previous use of Sonos in building playlists.

2 but Sonos never allows user customizable switches. Maybe a queue lock on queue screen could get traction. But a switch in settings menu I am certain will never happen as they have never allowed customization like this as a philosophy. Of course they have already abandoned some prime philosophies with this update so....

Agree, Chris - but mea culpa, forgot option

6. It's GRAND! Like it as it is.

Maybe we need an outside-the-lines users group? They often work.

You should create a poll

Well, let's do that. If you have ideas for it, pass them on else I will just dig about until I get a hit on how-to. How does that sound?

I actually did one a while back and i messed up all the choices and never went back and made a fixed one.
