Just installed the new app. But I can’t find where the music library went. Also no option to add a folder to the library

Moderator edit: We have an article with instruction on how to add a music library share on Windows and MacOS. Have a look.

Je suis sous le choc. Je viens de passer 2 heures à recharger ma bibliothèque musicale et à contourner l’erreur 913 sur windows 11.

Mais, je ne peux pas voir ma bibliothèque sur l’iphone ou l’ipad.

Qu’est ce que c’est que cette me-de ?

J’ai une bibliothèque de 21000 fichiers sur mon PC, j’ai passé des années à la peaufiner, il faut que Sonos retravaille ses applis, cette régression est inacceptable, criminelle. Amateurisme total.

Une faillite.

I have a Crucial X6 external hard drive with my music library on it because my iMac does not have enough storage on it to hold library. Technician told me to reach out to Crucial and ask them how to change communication protocol to SMBv2 or v3. Is this is even possible? I asked if they could at least recommend an alternative external hard drive that would work and he did not give my any recommendation. Does anyone know if there are any external hard drives that would work I could move my library too? Can Crucial even do anything here?

Your instincts are correct: Crucial (or ANY external USB drive manufacturer) has absolutely nothing to do with network sharing (SMBv1 or SMBv2). Once your external drive is talking to your iMac, setting up the network share is 100% up to MacOS. So the good news is there is NO reason to consider a different external drive, but the bad news is we haven’t diagnosed the source of your issue.

Unfortunately, I’m one of the few people on Earth without an iPhone/iPad, and those apps isn’t available for Android.

Have you considered re-installing the ‘old’ Sonos v16.1 app? That’s straightforward on Android (tho’ impossible on iOS).

Delete the new Sonos app
Go to APKMirror and find the Sonos S2 controller v16.1
Download the .apk file and install it
Turn off automatic updates in the Google Play store

Pbv561's solution worked for me. Windows PC. Created new file in C:. Copied my iTunes folder there. SONOS recognized it and added it.

Thank you very much

Don't rack your brains trying to make your music library work in Sonos. Just upload your files to YouTube music, select YT as your streaming service in Sonos, and voilà!

An update on my tale of Sonos woe for those interested:

Due to my NAS drive no longer being supported in this latest Sonos release I’ve resorted to an Apple Music subscription (maybe Sonos are on commission from the streaming services?). I was surprised to see this morning that my entire music library was showing within the Apple menu (without my NAS powered on). It’s mapped my library content to what it has in its catalogue which means that there’s a fair amount of obscure tracks I own greyed out but hey, at least there’s a proportion of my music and playlists available.

Now here’s the problem. This incarnation of the iOS iPhone interface is massively unstable (for me). I run a number of Roams, Moves and Ones all connected to one router and mesh (no repeaters or boosters needed). I have 100mbs up and down fibre WiFi which streams 4k etc so plenty fast enough for music streaming. The connected Sonos devices randomly come on and off line and I can only stream a few minutes of Apple Music before the whole system freezes. It takes a router reset to get it running again.

Guys, does this scenario sound familiar to you and before I chuck my entire Sonos kit in the bin, is it likely to get back to how it used to be and I could listen to music? GC

How could Sonos inflict this impenetrable new app on their customers seemingly without any testing?!

What is/are “Sonophone/Sonopad”? ….. I’m not familiar with these name(s)

Sonopad and Sonophone. To be found In the appstore.

Having just ‘looked up’ these 2 apps (on ‘playstore’) I’m not sure that they are a solution to my issue but definitely not a solution to a problem that should not exist!

Me too. I cannot see my music library as a source in the new ios app. I can see it in the new web app though. So why no music library as a source?

After updated, my music library on my NAS cannot be accessed anymore Sonos really f****** up all time with this update.

Me too. Hundreds of albums on my NAS now unavailable. Absolute disaster. Get it fixed.
