Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

So on the old ask forum wishlist items would get lost. Thought I would post a topic where people could vote their biggest wish for controller software improvements.

I wish you had ability to move line in sources into the main menu instead of under the line in heading.

Options for sorting for playlists and queues:

1. Alphabetic sorting by title
2. Alphabetic sorting by artist
3. Alphabetic sorting by album
4. Sorting by track number

This is basic stuff, many requests have been made for the ability to sort playlists and queues

I don't see a need to do this with playlists. Doesn't sound basic to me.

You might not, but others do. Sorting algorithms are *VERY* basic. The code to implement them is really easy.

Without an engineering level of knowledge on exactly how and what Sonos stores in a playlist, nobody can say how easy it is. Example, if a playlist of Spotify songs simply stores a service number and a link, with no local metadata, it would have to perform a metadata query on every track for each of the sorts you list above. For anything but the shortest of playlists, that is not "easy", nor efficient, no matter how simple the sorting code is.

Hello,

Few things I'd like to see tweaked/added please Sonos -

1. Make the 'confirmation of added to list/queue' pane translucent so you can still interact with the app before it fades away. It's really irritating having to wait for it to go!

2. When adding to playlist - allow select/check of more than one playlist to add to. It seems like it's laid out do so already but can only select one. Otherwise why not dismiss the page as soon as a list is selected?

3. Ability to make multiple track selections and copy to other playlists.

4. Search for people's profiles on Spotify (like you can on Spotify)

Please Sonos

Anyone agree?

we already know the "roll back.." is not a possible option. its not fair to include it as a lot of us would gladly roll back to v4.3 if we could..
