Latest Sonos App - Do not Upgrade

Just upgraded to the latest, new and improved Sonos app on my mobile phone (iPhone) and it has led to my losing my complete music library which is on a NAS.

After some discussions with support, they confirmed that this option is not available - only the commercial streaming services (and it does recognise Plex) are visible and accessible but no proprietary My Music Library.

Allegedly this will be rolled out in a future iteration, but no timeframe provided.

Beware if you are considering upgrading

It’s my understanding that you can still browse your local library, but you are unable to search for music in the library.  Is that correct?

Obviously, if you don’t use a local library, this would not be a concern for you.

Hi.  No, I cannot even browse the local library.  I have tried using the search bar and it does not throw up any of the music on my local.

Local music library is there on my iPhone. It’s not as good as before but it’s there. No search and no quick alphabetic scroll.

@bockersjv did you do anything to get it to display on your screen?  In my case it does not even register

At the bottom of the Home Screen you can edit the items. I have “Your Sources” at the top which shows my local library and my turntable input.

There is also another update available.

@bockersjv thank you.  It has now magically appeared.  I have my local collection back.  It seems it took some time (about 1.5 hours) to update into the app which is strange, but ok for me now that this has been resolved.

Wow. Awful.
 

I use my Sonos at least half the time for accessing my local library.

 

I’ll avoid updating for as long as possible, but I know it at some point they’ll force it.
