Adding Bluesound Vault to Sonos System

I have repaired a broken Vault 2 (dead power unit). Now I am having trouble re-connecting it to Sonos. After much online searching, I have added the Vault to the network, and added a shared music library via the Sonos (new) App as a shared folder by adding //IP address of the Vault/shared. So I can see the music and play it. BUT it used to be pretty; I could see album artwork and select a specific album. Now all if see is a list of ~ 9000 tracks from the FLAC music subfolder or the same as MP3 in the MP3 folder. Is the Sonos integration stuffed or is there a way to fix it so it will work like it used to? Or should I just be asking Sonos to fix it?

As your music works that’s about as good as can be expected given the state of the Sonos software.

Album art is allegedly fixed but IME it’s not always showing. I would double check that you’ve updated the firmware on your devices.

If your Sonos devices are s1 compatible I hear that moving to s1 will give you a better more reliable experience

Yes thank you. It is as good as it gets. At least have not lost all my CD music data but seems a pity to have lost the previous pretty all after Bluesound firmware update was followed by health of the power supply and failure of the external backup disc as well. At least have recovered all the data and now have three separate backups! Asked Bluesound but they said they could not help, but I guess they are Sonos rivals after all.😀
