Question

How can I scroll to an Artist or Album by initial letter?

The old Sonos App had a A-Z sidebar along the right side of the screen that let you scroll directly to a position in the list based on the initial letter. As I recall, this was available in lists like Songs, Artists, Albums, etc. My music collection has 1000s of albums which makes scrolling to the end very unwieldy.

It’s been a year now, will this feature ever be restored to the new Sonos App? Is there another way to do this that I’m missing?

For my use case, using search isn’t a replacement for this feature.

Use the Desktop app or third party.

Using a third party app doesn’t address my problem with the Sonos App. Why should I have to pay extra $$ to get back functionality that Sonos has had for 10+ years?

The desktop app is fine, but I don’t have my desktop computer with me around my house, like I do with my phone and tablet.

​@philshap, A-Z Quick Scrolling will soon get integrated again.
