@webmink.

In their wisdom they have removed the classic search option in the new App. So unfortunately you no longer have a way to search your music library.

    Yes, you can navigate it and play from it, but not search it, even though it's actually indexed and held in each Player.

    Clever eh…

      I am incredibly angry about this.  Yes, I have Plex, but it doesn’t have a great search function either, especially for classical music. Feeling very strongly that I will cast aside my Sonos speakers and such onto Ebay

        Also just found out I’m unable to search Music Library…  annoying doesn't even cover it!


        Pls sort this out, SONOS!

          Absolutely gobsmacked by this. I knew the direction of travel was to not improve or fix “Music Library” issues but to essentially remove access too it is frankly ridiculous. I don’t know if Plex is a solution for me and the notion that I have to use the desktop Mac to play My Music on the NAS I set up all those years ago so I didn’t need the flipping desktop on ALL the time.

           

          This is horrendous from Sonos. Judging by their share price today the market isn’t impressed either! (And I have a reasonable number of shares so a double blinking whammy!)

            I have my music library in Apple Music and select Apple Music under My Services and then can change the search tab from Apple Music to my library.

              This isn’t funny. I mean really not funny. We have 12 players round the house and I listen almost exclusively to my diligently FLAC-encoded CD collection because the services just don’t cut it. This is not good enough.

                What a boneheaded error.  I would totally abandon Sonos at this point as soon as I can find a viable replacement.  Hardware investments be damned.  Sonos sucks so hard.
