Talking Books mp3 files from a NAS

Hi i am new to the forum and have a question about listening to talking books. We both have the app on our phones logged in via one account and my wife listens to music and i want to mostly listen to talking books but music as well. The great majority of our content both music and books is stored on our NAS server in separate folders.

In the App there is only one music library so books and music get mixed up when looking in Albums or artists etc. I know you can access the folders separately within the music library but then the search by folder/artists etc is not so good and you have more menus to get through.

Does anybody have a solution for this? or would a development request to Sonos be the best way to go?

Thanks

Ok… I agree from your wife’s point of view. 😅

Just for you it could have been a workaround, but we know… „all for love“. 😉👍🏻

Add two Genres tags, music and audiobook and tag each track with the appropriate one. Maybe _music and _audiobook if they sort to the top of the Genres list?

Any decent tag editor should do that as a mass-change operation taking only a few minutes.

Reindex when it finishes.

Thanks for the help. It doesn’t get round the issue of Artists and Authors all mixed up if you are selecting that way (as my wife does). I’ve seen a few people asking for separate libraries as well just to keep partners music libraries separate on the selection list. I hope Sonos respond to that some day. Thanks again
