Issues with my Music Library

I just wanted to post these issues I’m having with my Music Library which are driving me crazy.  I have hundreds of albums and I primarily use my Sonos system to play my own music rather that stream from one of the providers.  Here are my problems:

  1. Why is there no grid view of my albums? A grid view looks so much better that this list view.  Maybe you can ask Apple how they get the grid view in Apple Music if you are unsure of what needs to be done to achieve this.
  2. Still no alphabet at the side to allow me to jump to say, my Yahoo album.  It’s painstaking to scroll through an entire list to get to an album close to the end of the list.
  3. Compilation albums are appearing as individual songs in album view.  Many of my albums are compilation and this is unacceptable.  It’s rubbish, to be honest.

Please, Sonos, address these matters so that I can start enjoying my music system again.

       Update 16.4.2 didn’t solve Compilations for me.  BUT I want to thank u/Schlumpf for the Album Artist idea, which IS helping for me. 
        MacOS 12 controller with iTunes (“Music”) library, mostly played  by iPhone.

      @rosswells127

      I assume that was a pn to you… otherwise a link to the whole thread and communication would be nice.

      I also assume @Corry P wrote this AFTER release of 16.4.2 firmware update… otherwise that imo would have been the update he talked about. 
       

      And just to add…

      Sonos release notes page also mentions improvements for music library indexing on latest Android app undate in combination with firmware 16.4.2. 

      But to be fair „improvements“ of course doesn’t mean the same as „100 percent fixed“. 😉

      @Schlumpf 
      Yes a PM to me.
      Yes it was written after 16.4.2 released.
      Ross.
