LMAO. Yes the first time I added a single track from my saved music it added everything, hundreds.

At first when I couldn't clear I couldn't use that queue at all.

I did load the app on my laptop and "clear queue" is there. This work around worked but still BS.

What I find funny and disturbing is Sonos has not commented on this topic at all.

Oh but they commented on and added back in the "#" for the volume.

Maybe by forcing users to have multiple apps loaded they can lie to investors and say look how many users we have.

No need to clear the queue - just replace it with whatever. There are third party Apps (at least fir iOS controllers) that can clear any/every or just so e chosen room queues, manually or to a schedule, just search the community here if you need that functionality, although just replacing s queue is just as simple and effective in the App. I have had no issues replacing 25000+ tracks in a queue, it’s almost instant to do that action.

Is that for a local library playlist?

At least for me on Amazon Music the Replace Queue and Play Now put only the first 100 tracks to the queue. Play Next and Add to End of Queue put all from the playlist (largest I have is about 400 tracks). Are there different implementations depending on the music service?

Tested with latest iPad app and Android app.

Any playlist as far as I’m aware? I have no issues replacing a queue with a library playlist - I use .m3u playlists in my own case. Some are around 400 tracks too IIRC

An example is attached - is that what you’re referring to?

@kpr
One of my local library playlists here is an "All NAS library” playlist that has 25,697 tracks and that just takes a few seconds, but it will happily load to, or replace, any Sonos Room queue. I’ve just tested that a few moments ago - see attached.

It’s the reason I choose to use my own .m3u playlists, rather than .xml, as they cater for most things on Sonos, that’s both before and since the new Sonos App was introduced in May. They load so much more quickly to a room queue.

My problem is with SONOS filling up the queue with the rest of the tracks from the ripped CD. If I clear the queue while the chosen track is playing, the playing stops! i.e. the clearing also clears the current track. It is almost as stupid as Spotify which when I ask it to play e.g. a symphony starting with the 1st movement, it replaces the second movement with something else it thinks I would rather listen to (I’m on PC/Win11)

Maybe don’t replace the queue then, just use the ‘Play Next’, or ‘Add to end of queue’ option instead.

I have to say that this is the worst APP update in my history of SONOS which goes back too many years for me to remember. How many people were on the Beta - I know aI never saw and invite and I have done Beta’s before. Completely devoid of UI engineering and no bridge back to prior version. I wonder if the S1 app is I wonder if it’s worth downgrading to S2 and just use that app?

beyond pissed… yes, clearing the queue from my PC, damn inconvenient when I have a 4 device group and we’re outside for the day.

So it just stops the play, I can see that thanks but how do you clear the album from showing at the bottom of the app?

If you are looking to clear the queue entirely, you can’t. That function is currently missing.

Try switching to a radio station. I’ve found my queue disappears if I do.

Work arounds are not a solution. They said this stuff would be fixed in June. We're half way to August. It seems they don't care.

Unreal. Something as simple as clear queue can’t be resolved by a company that has taken thousands of dollars from me and others without nary a comment here about the issue. June has come and gone and we are nowhere closer to fixing the critical anomalies introduced with this horrendous app update. I think with Sonos introducing headphones that don’t even work with its own system is a telltale sign that this company has jumped the shark.
