On this weeks iOS (April 26)  update the A-Z listing down the left hand side of the screen  for “Songs” has disappeared (from Local Library)

It’s still there for Artists and Albums

The latest update has fixed the A-Z scroll bar not showing on the Songs section of the local Music Library.

Ditto for me. iPhone 14pro running latest IOS and today’s Sonos App update. A-Z showing for all local library options except for ‘Songs’. Diagnostic submitted from iPhone. Email address here same as Sonos account.

I’ve done multiple restarts of the phone for various reasons over the last few weeks so it’s not that. The only thing I haven’t done is to delete the Sonos app and reinstall so I might try that.

 

I’ve also wondered if it was maybe to do with the size of the Library? My local Library is around 50,000+ tracks which, although it’s well within the Sonos limits, could be upsetting the app maybe? However, having said that, I’m not aware of this being a problem previously.

I have a lot less than 50k tracks.

If you touch the long edge of the screen does the index appear?

Did you attempt to scroll along this edge? if you have the Apple Pencil does this help?

I have no proof but I suspect that there could be slightly different versions rolling out over several days -  along with my previous speculation that this issue is tied to screen width.

My Windows system is down at the moment, but I didn’t have issues dealing with a “little” 50K playlist.

When I scroll the ‘songs’ list up or down a very narrow scroll bar appears at the very right had side of the screen.  It is very narrow, and difficult to select with a finger. When you do manage to select it you can scroll up and down the list very quickly , but still no A-Z markings to give an indication of where you are in the list. (My local song list is only about 4,000 tracks).

Yes of course, ive tried scrolling the edge. I’ve also  reinstalled the app and tried it on some of the different iOS devices in my household. All exhibit this issue.
